When you buy a season card for the home end, you should be protected from away fans being put in your area. A season card means you’re paying for a home supporters’ section, and the club has a duty to keep you safe. Stadium safety rules are based on keeping home and away fans separate because mixing them can cause trouble. If the club puts away fans in a home stand, they may not be giving you the experience you paid for, and it can break their safety responsibilities. You should expect to be in a safe, properly segregated home section when you buy your season card.
When you buy an individual ticket for the home end, you should still be protected from away fans being put in that area. Even if it’s not a season card, you are still paying for a home supporters’ section, and the club has the same duty to keep you safe. Stadium safety rules apply to every match and every ticket, not just season cards. Mixing home and away fans can create safety risks, so the club is expected to keep those areas properly separated.
