See it. Say it. Sorted.

Here’s a reminder of our stadium entry guidelines, security checks will be completed ahead of you accessing the turnstiles.

Safeguarding

The Club takes the Safeguarding of all fans attending the Amex seriously and encourages any concerns or worries about young people or adults at risk to be reported to the nearest steward where our matchday team can respond appropriately.

Autographs and selfies

All players will not stop to sign or pose for selfies when arriving or leaving the stadium – as it is no longer safe to do so.

Instead, we will be offering a number of spaces for our junior season-ticket holders and MyAlbion+ junior members at every home matchday to come to the stadium early for enhanced selfie and autograph opportunities with the squad, in a safe environment as the players arrive.
