Away Fans' Guide | Blackpool

We wish to remind supporters of the importance of adhering to opposition ground regulations at all away games. These are standard practice across all EFL grounds, specifically in relation to the use of pyrotechnics, missile throwing and pitch incursions. 

Pyrotechnics and objects, or missiles specifically, can cause serious injury or harm. 

Any incidents of this nature will be investigated and could lead to sanctions being applied by Plymouth Argyle, the football authorities, or the Police.

Please also remain courteous when inside the stadium, with regards to foul and abusive language. If you do hear anything offensive while inside the stadium, please report it to your nearest steward. Tragedy chanting and discriminatory abuse of any kind is not tolerated.

If the match officials hear any abusive or discriminatory chanting during the game, they hold the right to suspend the game, taking the players off the field until further notice.

We would like to remind supporters that the strongest condemnation is employed towards discriminatory abuse, tragedy chanting, anti-social behaviour, crowd disorder and misconduct, and illegal activity inside football stadia.

Our stance on the above will ensure the strongest possible action continues to be taken against those found guilty of any offence, including the issuing of Football Banning Orders.

Bags should ideally be no larger than A4 size. Blackpool adopts a strict search policy at the stadium which may cause some queues at the turnstiles. It is always worthwhile getting to the stadium as early as possible to allow you to enter the stadium and take your seat in plenty of time for kick-off.

We understand that family groups may need to bring extra baggage into the stadium to entertain and feed smaller children or carry warm clothing. Where possible, Blackpool request that the size and number of bags that you bring to the stadium is kept to a minimum, particularly in the case of rucksacks.

Naturally, some items have no place inside a football stadium, so please think before you bring items which might be considered a potential weapon.

The following articles must not be brought within the ground: knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety and/or illegal substances.

Any person in possession of such items will be refused entry to the ground.
