Arrival & Searches

Supporters attending games at Carrow Road are advised of security measures as they enter the stadium on matchdays.

The club continues to consult with local authorities, including Norfolk Constabulary, with public safety at all events and matchdays here at Norwich City of utmost priority to the football club. Therefore, similar to those employed at stadiums across the country, there will continue to be an enhanced security presence at all matches played at Carrow Road - as well as limitations on items that can be brought into the ground, including restrictions on bag sizes.

Norwich City reserves the right to confiscate flags if they are very large or may compromise public safety, obscure someone’s view, a camera position or if a flag carries offensive, discriminatory or inflammatory messaging.

• Flags more than 250cm in size at their widest or longest section will not be allowed and flagpoles greater than 1m in length will not allowed.
• Any articles that could potentially be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety are strictly prohibited.
• Permission must be sought in advance from the stadium to arrange use of the very large supporter flags that are designed to be passed over people's heads. In such cases the flag must be flame retardant and the organiser bringing the flag into the stadium will need to provide the appropriate H&S certification.

Due to the security arrangements, all supporters are advised to arrive at the venue and enter the ground as early as possible. This will allow the required time to carry out these additional security checks that are likely to lengthen queuing times.

For a list of those items not permitted inside the stadium, see below.

We would advise all fans who bring bags to matches to review the size of the bag and its contents to prevent delays at turnstiles. For security reasons, the club will not be able to store items for supporters during the game.

Key messages:

• Please arrive early to allow time for the security searches and checks.
• Bags larger than 40cm x 35cm x 19cm (small bag/handbag) will NOT be allowed into the stadium.
• Supporters should be vigilant and report anything which causes them concern or which they think may constitute a safety risk to the nearest security or police personnel.

Norwich City would like to thank our supporters for their help and co-operation for making Carrow Road a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
