Recommended Posts

Elgin City Football Club are delighted to welcome Rangers Football Club for the Scottish League 3 Football match at Borough Briggs Stadium on Sunday 25th November 2012.

 

Elgin City have been working very closely with Grampian Police and Rangers to provide ensure that the fans attending the game enjoy themselves.

 

Club Director and Safety Officer Martyn Hunter said, " A lot of planning and preparation has gone into this match and it is an opportunity for the people of Elgin to welcome the Rangers Football Club and their fans to the town. Elgin is a friendly town and we hope that the fans experience this. The 4520 tickets have sold out and the stadium will be at its capacity for the first time in many years and it should be a great football occasion with both teams sitting at the top of the league."

 

Grampian Police Divisional Commander Superintendent Mark Cooper who will be Match Commander on the day said, " The fans of Rangers Football Club are amongst the very best behaved in the country and this is a great opportunity for the people in Elgin and across Moray to showcase the area. The away fans will arrive in numbers with most expected to arrive by bus."

 

All away buses will be parking in the overspill car park at the Moray Leisure Centre and all drivers are asked to arrive there in sufficient time and to enter via Haugh Road.

 

All fans are asked to arrive at the ground early and would remind all fans that the match is all ticket and that there will be no cash turnstiles.

 

Superintendent Cooper reminded all fans to behave responsibly. "A small minority of fans are likely to arrive at the ground under the influence of alcohol. Such persons will not be admitted entry and I would remind the fans that local alcohol drinking in public Bye Laws will be enforced on the day. We will be supporting the stewards to ensure that no one enters the Stadium in possession of alcohol, controlled containers such as cans and bottles or other prohibited articles such as smoke bombs and flares."

 

"Part of our strategy will be to minimise any disruption to the wider community but due to the narrow pavements on Borough Briggs Road, we have had to close the road from 9am to 3pm on Sunday to ensure that the fans gain safe access to the ground.

 

The game is being televised live on ESPN with a kick off time of 12 noon.
