PERSISTENT STANDING
Nottingham Forest would like to remind all supporters that persistent standing is prohibited in regular seats at the City Ground for your safety and the safety of others.
The local authority’s Safety Advisory Group has raised serious concerns about persistent standing during our home matches this season.
Despite a number of new safe standing areas being added within the ground, Nottingham Forest would like to remind all supporters persistent standing outside these seats is strictly prohibited.
Failure to address persistent standing puts the club at risk of severe sanctions, including an enforced reduction in stadium capacity on match days. This would have extremely negative consequences for our famous atmosphere, limit the availability of tickets for supporters, and harm our finances and reputation. We cannot allow this to happen.
It is therefore imperative we take stronger measures to ensure compliance with strict stadium regulations. Please be advised that if supporters fail to comply with the requests of our security and stewarding colleagues, we reserve the right to ban individuals from the stadium and rescind season cards, where appropriate.
Please be respectful of requests from our stewards on match days. They are here to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone in the stadium and enforce compliance with the conditions set out in our safety license.
The club is extremely grateful for your role in helping create the City Ground atmosphere that is known across the Premier League, and beyond. Let’s work together to keep it that way.
