“This fixture is all-ticket. Supporters without tickets are advised not to travel. They will not gain entrance to the stadium because the football club and West Mercia Police operate a rigorous inspection policy. Supporters without tickets will not get beyond the approach to the stadium which has only one entrance/exit. All tickets will be checked before supporters reach the turnstiles.
“Parking is limited and for this match the car park will be given over to Chelsea supporters. Priority will be given to coaches and mini-buses.
“Spectators will be required to show their matchday ticket before leaving their coach or vehicle. All spectators, as a matter of routine, will be searched at the turnstiles before being allowed entrance to the ground.
Any person found in possession of any article which contravenes Football League Ground Regulations will be arrested, as will any person considered to be under the influence of alcohol.
Coaches and vehicles, as routine, will be searched for alcohol and if found the person responsible for the vehicle will be arrested and the contents confiscated. Musical instruments are not allowed to be brought into the ground.
“Spectators are expected to co-operate fully with police officers’ and stewards’ instructions. Any person who encroaches on the pitch at any time will be arrested. The following are arrestable offences which the Football Club will not hesitate to apply: the throwing of any object within the ground; the chanting of anything indecent or of a racist nature.
“Supporters will not be allowed to leave the ground until the exit gates are opened five minutes before the final whistle.
“A strict traffic management policy is in force because of the restricted route from the stadium. The car park will be closed five minutes before the end of the match and no traffic will be allowed to leave the ground until all the spectators on foot have left the ground and the surrounding area. This is normally achieved within ten minutes of the final whistle.
“We want all supporters to have an enjoyable visit to Shrewsbury. We shall do our utmost to ensure that happens. In return we rely on your co-operation, good behaviour and willingness to follow advice given.”
