Covid Card
We are producing a colour coordinated ‘Covid Card’ to bring along with your season ticket to each game. For those seated, the card will have the stand, block, row and seat number you have been allocated during the Covid restrictions.
For those with standing season tickets, the different colour ‘Covid Card’ will indicate which stand you have been allocated to while Covid restrictions remain in place.
Your support with this part of the ongoing restrictions is crucial for the club to keep their safety certificate in place during these unprecedented times.
You will be able to collect your ‘Covid Card’ week commencing 21st September and check where your temporary seat is within the stadium.
Please do not throw your season ticket away – the games for the coming season will be uploaded remotely onto your current season ticket.
If you have requested a replacement for a lost season ticket, this can be collected along with the ‘Covid Card’.
iFollow
All 2020/21 season ticket holders will be able to access the game v Peterborough United on Saturday 12th September via the EFL streaming platform iFollow as part of their season ticket package.
iFollow is available through the ASFC website. This game is to be played behind closed doors and is the only opportunity to watch Stanley in action.
Season ticket holders will be given a unique pass code for this game – further details on how to receive your unique pass code will be released as soon as possible.
Non season ticket holders can purchase the game via the iFollow platform on the ASFC website – all income from purchased match passes will go directly to Stanley so this is a way of supporting the club even though you cannot attend the fixture.
Thank you
We cannot thank supporters enough for the patience they have showed during the past six months - from the final home five league games being cancelled, the global pandemic and uncertainty around the start of the new football season, the lack of ongoing information and finally the Covid social distancing arrangements we have had to put in place in order to receive a safety certificate to open the Wham Stadium for football once again.
We are overwhelmed by the number of season tickets we have sold in the first 24 hours of going back on sale – we are already almost half way towards the stadium Covid social distancing capacity of 1535.
It would be something really special if we can fill the Wham Stadium with existing and new season ticket holders, all socially distanced in all four stands.
This is something the players are already talking about and cannot wait to have that special atmosphere back where it belongs – in the Wham Stadium.
