Visiting Five Acres

FIVE ACRES GROUND POLICY

Southampton Spitfires do not tolerate any form of abusive, anti-social or bullying behavior.

The club fully reserve the right to ask anyone attending games to leave the ground, in order to protect the enjoyment of others.

We follow and uphold the values and guidelines of Rugby Football League's R.E.S.P.E.C.T. campagn and ask that you do the same.

Alcohol & Drugs

We accept that Five Acres is a public park, and our authority to ban alcohol only covers the areas we hire - namely the pitch, it's immidiate surrounds and the pavilion, but we would prefer if spectators save the drinking for the clubhouse.

Drug use of either a recreational/illegal or of a performance enhancing nature are prohibited and will be reported to the police and/or the sports governing body.

Southampton Spitfires supports the 100% Me initiative.

Playing Area

The playing area is roped off to ensure spectators are a safe distance from players who may be tackled into touch. Spectators are not permitted to enter the playing area during play for any reason.

House Keeping

Litter bins are provided on site - please help us maintain the site by using them in every instance.

Public toilets are available to the right side of the Pavillion - please use them with thought for the next person.

Recording of Images (Video/Photography).

Please read the RFL's Recording Images Policy before taking photographs or video footage at games/training. A copy can be downloaded below.
