Safety
Supporters are assured that Gretna Football Club is in communication with the police and local authority to ensure that crowd safety in the stadium and its surrounds on match days is not compromised so far as matters are within the Club’s control.
Gretna Football Club and in particular those employed by the Club with specific responsibilities for safety, undertake to ensure, as far as is practicable, that all activities taking place within the stadium are conducted in a manner that places spectator safety above all other considerations.
The Club's primary responsibility, through its safety policies, will be to ensure the reasonable safety of all persons attending the stadium. The Club has appointed a Stadium Safety Officer who will be responsible for ensuring the implementation and maintenance of the ground regulations.
Ground Regulations
All matches are played in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish Football League and, where applicable, the Regulations of FIFA/UEFA Competitions.
Play cannot be guaranteed to take place on any particular day or at any particular time and the Club reserves the right to change its advertised fixtures without prior notice and without liability.
Tickets allocated by this Club/event organiser are issued on the express condition that no holder thereof shall sell or transfer same for a larger price than appears on the face thereof. In the event of any breach of this condition, the Club reserves the right to cancel this ticket and to retain the money paid therefore on allotment.
No refunds for any cash admissions or, in the event of all ‘all-ticket’ match, the price of the ticket will be given on the date of the match.
When a match has been postponed or abandoned prior to entry to the stadium, the ticket will be valid for the rearranged fixture.
Where a match is abandoned during a cash admission match, then a ticket voucher will be issued to every supporter attending the match, the value of which will subsequently be determined by the Club and notified in the local press.
Where a match is abandoned during an all ticket match, the retained portion of that ticket, the value of which will subsequently be determined by the Club, will be valid to exchange or part exchange (if the value is subsequently determined to be less than the full ticket price to be charged for the re-arranged fixture) for a ticket at the re-arranged fixture.
Any supporter who cannot attend the re-arranged fixture will be entitled to a refund of the subsequently determined value of the ticket voucher or ticket provided that an application for a refund is received by the Club within 14 days of the date of the re-arranged fixture being announced.
When the Club is required to subsequently determine the value of a ticket voucher or ticket, that determination will be made by the Board of the Club acting reasonably and after taking account of such circumstances that are relevant.
