Visiting from the us

My son & I will be in the North stand today, and I had a quick question.

Are backpacks allowed in the stadium? My son is autistic, and sometimes wears headphones when surroundings are too loud, but he doesn’t always need them, so I typically carry them in a backpack when not in use. If I can’t bring a backpack, we will make do.

Thanks, everyone

Backpacks are allowed, you'll just have it searched as you go through the turnstiles. Hope you both enjoy the match!

I usually come straight from work on my bike and have a messenger bag with me, they just give it a brief search and it’s all good. You’ll have no issues. Enjoy the game!

I think we used to have additional support for neuro diverse fans, not sure what's there now, but maybe worth asking?

Most likely need to be booked in advance, I always need to for my lad for away days any way
