We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where all fans can share their passion for football respectfully and safely.

    However, there may be occasions when the club decides that segregation is necessary for specific matches, usually due to the nature of the fixture or safety considerations. In these cases, the club will clearly communicate any segregation measures well in advance of the match day. This includes providing detailed advice and guidance to all spectators regarding designated areas, entry points, and any other relevant arrangements.

    Our priority is always the safety and enjoyment of everyone attending Throstle Nest, and we work closely with local authorities and security personnel to ensure matchdays run smoothly. We ask all supporters to follow any instructions provided and respect the club’s decisions concerning segregation, helping to maintain a positive atmosphere for all fans.

    For groups, supporters’ clubs, or organisations interested in purchasing bulk orders of programmes for collection on matchday, we ask that you please email info@fcfarsley.com at least 5 days before the fixture.
