Leamington FC regrettably advise you that Saturday’s opening Vanarama National League North fixture with Gateshead has been postponed due to a Covid-19 event in the Leamington FC squad. This matter only came to notice late on Friday evening and the full extent of the situation will not be fully established until all relevant close contacts have taken PCR tests and received their results and inquiries by the club are completed.

An announcement will be made later today for fans who have purchased tickets in advance of the game informing you on the refund process.

The club has been in communication with Gateshead FC and thank them for their understanding in this matter.
It is very frustrating for everyone and we fully understand that this will be a huge disappointment for fans of both clubs, particularly so as it would have been the welcome return of fans. We are equally aware that the sense of disappointment is shared by players, team management and club officials.

The priority of the club is the health and wellbeing of our players and staff and we wish those affected a speedy recovery. We will continue to follow the relevant protocols and a further update will be provided when all the facts have been established.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to football this weekend when we entertain Gateshead FC for the opening Vanarama National League North fixture of Season 2021-22. Your safety is of paramount importance to us as it is for our players, management and staff and thus we have established protocols to give everyone reassurance. The stadium site has been divided into two zones for match day operations – Red and Green (see map).

Red Zone - The pitch, players tunnel, dressing room block, Don Hartwell Suite within the clubhouse and clubhouse car park. There will be controlled entry to this Zone with access permitted ONLY to math officials, players, team staff and management plus essential club officials and club staff.

Green Zone – Remainder of the stadium, including clubhouse bar plus the main car park. This area will be open to all spectators, club directors, media teams, FA and National League officials, sponsors and guests.

A Supporter Code of Conduct and Admission Guidelines can be accessed here and we strongly recommend that you read it in advance of purchasing tickets and attending the stadium. Whilst ‘pay at the gate’ is accepted we advise supporters where possible to purchase tickets in advance so as to avoid queuing as those paying on the day will be required to provide contact information or use the QR code for the ‘test and trace’ system.

We ask all supporters attending to socially distance where possible and respect the fact that everyone’s personal circumstances are different as will how they feel in more crowded surroundings. We ask fans to wear facemasks on entering through the turnstiles and when inside any building area (toilets and clubhouse bar). Hand sanitisation facilities are available across the stadium site.

Refreshments - We are operating an outside bar as well as the clubhouse bar (take away service only) with food and refreshment units all outside.

With covered seating for 500 and covered standing for 400 and a stadium capacity of 3008 there will be plenty of space for you to watch your football in a safe environment and we look forward to seeing you all on Saturday. The match is not segregated and you will have access to all areas upon entry. Gates open at 1pm.

We look forward to welcoming you to Warwickshire's true open air venue!
