Ahead of our first home game of the 2026/27 season, we can confirm that the National League has introduced a league-wide policy regarding the attendance of supporters aged 13 and under.
Under the new policy:
- Supporters aged 13 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over when entering the ground.
- Under-14 tickets must be purchased by an adult aged 18 or over.
- The accompanying adult does not need to be a parent or guardian, but must be a responsible adult aged 18 or over.
The National League has introduced this policy with safeguarding, crowd safety, licensing and compliance in mind, helping to ensure that young supporters can continue to enjoy matchdays in a safe and welcoming environment.
Children aged 13 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18+) to enter the ground.
•The accompanying adult must remain within the ground at all times.
•Children may move around the ground for toilets and refreshments, and normal activities.
If a child appears to be unaccompanied:
•Stewards and staff may ask who they are attending with.
•Contact details of the adult may be requested.
•If no responsible adult is identified, entry may be refused or Safeguarding action taken.
At Tonbridge Angels, we are incredibly proud of the fantastic atmosphere at the Yeomans Community Stadium every matchday. Your support means a huge amount to the club, and we want to encourage all of our young fans to continue coming along and supporting us.
We simply ask that anyone aged 13 or under attends with a responsible adult aged 18 or over and that their ticket is purchased by an adult.
We look forward to welcoming you all back this Saturday for another exciting season. For more information regarding this policy and what it could mean for your visit please contact Shaz Williams, Operations Manager on shaz.williams@tonbridgeangels.co.uk
Thank you for your understanding.
