ABERDEEN fans will have to abide by a new code of conduct when they attend Pittodrie on Saturday.
300 Dons fans will be allowed to attend the clash with Kilmarnock at the weekend.
It’s the first game which allows fans back into stadiums since March, alongside the Ross County vs Celtic clash.
And Aberdeen have made available strict guidelines to the lucky 300 fans who will be allowed into the ground on Saturday.
The rules are as follows:
• Remain in your allocated seat – (standing is strictly prohibited)
• Always wear your face covering properly covering both your nose and mouth.
• Leaving your seat – If you must leave your seat continue to wear your face covering, wait for the gangway to clear, remember the 2 metre social distancing rule, sanitise hands and follow the signage and Stewards instructions.
• When in your seated area, when moving past other spectators, to and from your seat, please avoid face to face contact with other spectator.
• Match Ball – should the match ball enter the stand, please pass this down to the ball boy to be sanitised, under no circumstances should you throw the ball onto the pitch. Please ensure that you sanitise your own hands once the ball has been passed back.
• Coughing and Sneezing – please catch in a tissue or in the crease of your elbow, sanitising hands afterwards and disposing of any contaminated tissues in a bin.
• Chanting/Shouting/Singing – are to be avoided to help reduce the risk of infection.
• Priority will be given on stairwells to people ascending the stairs. To avoid contact, people descending are required to step into a row until the stairwell is clear for them to continue their journey.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
