MESSAGE TO BOTH SETS OF SUPPORTERS re- SEARCH OPERATION
“Supporters travelling to Hampden Park on Saturday, 28th January, 2012 are advised to attend earlier than usual due to searching procedures which will be undertaken on entry to the stadium.
Hampden Park is a venue for this Summer’s Olympics and there is a requirement from LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) to carry out a number of test events to trial their search capability prior to the start of the Games.
It means that all supporters entering the North Stand of the stadium will be searched at each of the 20 turnstiles there (numbers 30 - 49), to the standard required for the Olympic football events at Hampden Park in July and August, 2012.
This will include a ‘meet and greet’ away from the turnstiles where supporters will be required to empty their possessions into an A4 sized plastic bag prior to a full search at the turnstiles.
Bag searches will be ushered to one side to prevent any backlog. These search procedures will be carried out in respect of both sets of fans and suitable arrangements are in place for male and female supporters.
The co-operation of all supporters will ensure that a smooth, safe passage into the stadium will take place, with no undue delay.”
