Security Checks and Entry

Supporters will be able to gain entry to the Fan Zone at two points: the side of the club shop and Rugby Club Lane.

Upon arriving at an entry point, supporters will be subject to bag and age checks for the safety of everyone in attendance. ID checks will be in place to correspond with our Challenge 25 Policy, meaning supporters are advised to bring ID.

Please note, anyone who brings alcohol and food into the venue will have it removed immediately and it will not be returned upon exit.

Spectators will not be allowed access without an adult (18+).

Parking

The supporters' car park to the rear of Brunton Park will be available for use during these matches.

Furthermore, the west side of the ground will be pedestrianised at all times, meaning no drop-off or pick-up will be an option on the grounds of Brunton Park - this is for the safety of all spectators viewing the action.

United would like to recommend the use of public transport for all fans looking to attend. This helps provide a safer environment before, during and after the event for everyone - you, fellow supporters and staff.

Facilities

During the event, supporters will be able to access toilet facilities in A and B Stand.

Please note, each of the events held at Brunton Park will be CASHLESS, meaning only card will be accepted as a form of payment at all times.

We cannot wait to see everyone down at Brunton Park, so let's get together to enjoy the buzz of the World Cup right here at home.
