THE AEK welcomes her Brighton (30/11, 19:45) at the OPAP Arena as part of the 5th matchday of the Europa League groups, in a match that with a positive result will have greatly increased its chances of competing in the European competitions in the new year.
Understandably, the stadium in New Philadelphia will be packed, with the management of the “yellow and black” proceeding with an announcement, in which rings the bell of the danger and clarifies some guidelines that the world of the Union should follow, in order not to punish the club with a door closed in the next European match.
The announcement in detail:
“Friends of AEK
For tomorrow’s match against Brighton, it is absolutely necessary to show responsibility, to protect our team and our pitch. Unfortunately, the reality is simple: A smoke generator, a sparkler, a laser, a firecracker or a strobe, is enough to close the northern “horseshoe” of our field and then we are now at risk of being banned from the home in case of a recurrence.
We are already suspended, don’t forget that. The warning period is over, now it’s a matter of choosing whether we want our whole stadium open for the next European match after Brighton or not.
Attention: there is nothing allowed from fireworks! Do not think that there is no punishment for example for strobes. They are considered regular fireworks, prohibited and punishable. In the specific case of the closure of the northern “shoe”.
Clean corridors are also a critical issue. Please do not under any circumstances sit in corridors after the start of the match. Cooperate with law enforcement officials. There are very serious penalties for the issue of corridors and in combination with the other issues, they can reach the punishment of the headquarters. This phenomenon must be put to an end in the whole field.
Do not come to the stadium with children who do not have a ticket. It creates a lot of inconvenience for those who do it despite our constant warnings and for the rest. No child will enter the stadium without a ticket.
The gates to the match against Brighton will open at 16.45. There will be very strict pre-checks to detect possession of dangerous items, but also for tickets. Those without a ticket will be removed immediately.
Also, those who are clearly intoxicated or under the influence of drugs will be immediately removed.
It is forbidden to carry motorcycle helmets or rucksacks. No banners or placards with abusive, racist, unsportsmanlike or generally provocative content will be allowed on the field.
Also, a fan who might be wearing a Brighton shirt or will be wearing Brighton badges will not be allowed to enter any gate other than the visitors’ gate.
Friends of AEK. It’s a shame for things we can easily avoid seeing our stadium empty in the next European game. It is up to us to prevent this from happening, there is no other way. We are confident that you will show a spirit of cooperation and protect our team. On Thursday night all together with our voice and only on the side of our team. We are waiting for you at our home!».
