Following discussions with the EFL, the Safety Advisory Group Chair, and the Met Police, supporters will be permitted to bring drinks of water in clear plastic bottles into our stadium. This will be in the form of 500 ml (or less) clear plastic bottles (an equivalent drinks container as used by children under 16 or those with medical requirements is also permitted). Please note that bottle tops will also not be removed by matchday stewards.

What bottles can you bring into the stadium? Clear plastic bottles (500 ml or less). Unopened fizzy drinks bottles (500 ml or less) can also be brought into the stadium, along with 500 ml containers.

If the top of a bottle/container has been opened prior to entering the turnstiles we reserve the right to check for alcohol content so we can do our best to avoid spectators drinking in view of the pitch. If alcohol is found in bottles the contents will be fully dispensed prior to admission.
