St.Helens R.F.C. wishes to ensure that everyone who comes to enjoy game days at the The BrewDog Stadium can do so in a safe and friendly environment.
The Club takes the security of all our supporters, both home and away fans, with the utmost importance. Please be aware of a number of security and safety measures that are in place to protect all supporters.
Zero Tolerance To Anti-Social Behaviour
The Club would like to reiterate to supporters that it operates a zero-tolerance approach to any anti-social behaviour.
Misbehaviours that will not be tolerated include, but are not limited to; physical or verbal abuse, violent conduct, missile throwing, excessive alcohol misuse, and any drug misuse.
Furthermore, the use of pyrotechnics is strictly prohibited under both rugby and football ground regulations. They can cause serious injuries to those who carry them as well as fellow spectators, as well as damage to surfaces such as the playing pitch which can cost clubs thousands of pounds.
St.Helens would also like to encourage parents/guardians of children coming to the ground to ensure they are always aware of what their child is doing and where in the stadium they are at all times.
24/7 CCTV
The BrewDog Stadium has CCTV systems in place in and outside the ground and stadium bowl, as well as in the surrounding public areas.
Reporting Issues
If you witness any form of anti-social or unsavoury behaviour, please report it to the Club.
Speak to the nearest steward (noted for their high visibility jackets or attire), or if preferred please contact the Club on 01744 455 072 or email [email protected] at your earliest convenience.
Children In The Stadium
St.Helens would also like to encourage parents/guardians of children coming to the ground to ensure they are always aware of what their child is doing and where in the stadium they are at all times.
Bag Policy
Personal bags of A5 size or smaller only will be permitted in The BrewDog Stadium, and our stewarding staff will check your bags and conduct bag checks upon entry. Whilst this is a change to what supporters have been used to in the past, the Club’s decision is to help ensure everyone’s security and safety when attending fixtures at the home of the Saints.
With the proposed implementation of The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill legislation, there may be further updates to fans’ gameday experiences in the future, with the priority of creating a safe environment for all.
We kindly ask supporters to please remain patient and be co-operative with our staff, and we thank you for your understanding.
Bags larger than A5 will only be permitted at the discretion of St.Helens R.F.C. staff if containing essentials for babies, or medical purposes and will be subject to being searched before entry. It is advised to provide Medical Exemption Certificates or proof of eligibility for a Medical Exemption Certificate.
O’Neills branded paper bags from the Saints Superstore will be permitted entry, however they too will be subject to bag checks from our stewarding staff.
Bag-Drop Facility
A Bag-Drop area will be set up on match days at The BrewDog Stadium for any bags that would not be permitted entry. This will be located in the South East corner of the stadium and will be open from two hours before kick-off and will close one hour after full time.
Please note our Bag-Drop facility will cost £3 per bag, and as a cashless venue only debit or credit cards will be accepted. St.Helens R.F.C. accepts no responsibility for loss or damage of items which are left at the owners’ risk, with all bags subject to a search.
