We are looking forward to welcoming you to St Mary’s Stadium. Southampton Football club are committed to making our matchdays and events as accessible and inclusive as possible for all attendees.

In some circumstances, an exemption certificate may be required. These certificates allow us to make the necessary arrangements to support you during your visit.

The information below outlines our stadium policies. If you require an exemption certificate, please complete the form at the bottom of the page.

Mobility Equipment

Powered Wheelchairs and Mobility Scootersare permitted in designated accessible areas within the stadium on matchdays and during events. However, please be aware that:

There’s a maximum speed of 4mph.

The maximum permitted size is 1200mm long (including footplates) and 700mm wide.

There’s no storage space onsite at St Mary’s, therefore please ensure you have booked a suitable wheelchair accessible space.

Walking Aids

Walking Aids (such as crutches, walking sticks, or protective boots) are permitted in seated areas. However, due to the unpredictability of crowd movement, these aren’t allowed in standing floor areas during events such as concerts and boxing.

Please note that shooting sticks or walking sticks with seats are not permitted inside the stadium.

We also recommend checking the FAQ’s for individual events, as policies may vary.

Bag Policy

We recommend you do not bring a bag larger than an A4 piece of paper. All bags entering the stadium are subject to a security search prior to entry.

If you need a bag that does not comply with this policy or want to bring items that are not normally permitted for medical reasons (such as food and drink), we can issue a Medical Exemption Certificate. This certificate must be shown to stewards upon entry.

While the A4 bag size limit applies to standard matchdays, please check the FAQ’s for individual events, as policies may vary.

Before requesting a Medical Exemption Certificate, please review our Prohibited Items List below. If the item you wish to bring is permitted and fits within a standard A4 bag, a Medical Exemption Certificate is not required.

Water Bottles

Please note: If you intend to bring water into the stadium, only clear, empty, crushable plastic bottles of 500ml or less are permitted. This applies to all guests, including those with a Medical Exemption Certificate.

When to Request a Medical Exemption Certificate

Please only request a Medical Exemption Certificate if your event is within the next 28 days, as we are unable to issue certificates earlier than this timeframe.
