Segregation and Turnstile Information
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, this game will be segregated, with Yeovil Town fans occupying the Adeyfield School end of the stadium. For Yeovil supporters, the designated turnstiles are located on the left-hand side, next to the small training astro pitch. This arrangement will help streamline the entry process and enhance the overall matchday atmosphere for all fans. Additional facilities will be provided at this end of the ground to ensure you have an enjoyable day with us. This decision was taken after consultation between both clubs towards the end of last week.
Tudor fans should enter through the usual turnstiles and can access the McDonalds and CRK stands as well as the usual standing areas up to the press area.
Tickets do not specify which turnstiles fans should use so please ensure you follow the directions of stewards and club staff on arrival. If you have purchased tickets in advance, please ensure you have these ready for scanning on entry,
