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.
