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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
