Matchday Information: Saints vs Norwich
Saints welcome Norwich to St Mary’s for tomorrow’s Premier League fixture, with lots of activities to keep fans entertained around the ground ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
The club is aware that some of our fans experienced disorderly behaviour at St Mary’s during recent matches. It is very important that everyone coming to a match feels safe and the club will issue long-term bans to anyone who engages in this type of behaviour.
If you witness any form of anti-social, abusive or discriminatory behaviour, crime, violence or the use of pyrotechnics, please report it to your nearest steward or police officer. Alternatively, text SFCReport to 60060 with a full description and location of the incident, giving as much detail as you can.
Please be aware that all bags will be searched on entry to St Mary’s, so only bring an A4-sized bag if you need to.
Fans are advised to arrive to the ground early, to give ample time to get through security checks, turnstiles and make their way to their seat.
COVID-19 GUIDANCE
Southampton Football Club would like to thank fans for their support in following Covid-19 measures and helping to keep their fellow fans safe.
In line with the latest government guidance, NHS COVID passes will now no longer be enforced as a condition of entry to a Premier League match with supporters also not required to pre-register their Covid-19 status ahead of attending matches at St Mary’s.
Everyone still has an important role to play in minimising the risk of passing on Covid-19 and we want St Mary’s to remain safe for fans to enjoy.
There are some simple ways fans can help keep each other safe on a matchday:
- Please do not travel if you have Covid-19 symptoms
- Consider wearing a face covering when indoors or in crowded areas
- Don’t forget to wash your hands regularly
- If possible, take a Covid-19 test on a matchday to check there is no risk of passing on the virus
- The best way to protect yourself and others from Covid-19 is to get vaccinated

REUSABLE CUPS
