Swindon Town have enforced ticketing restrictions on a second stand due to ongoing safety concerns at the Nigel Eady County Ground. The decision affects fans sitting in Block A6 of the Arkell’s Stand. The closure is due to its proximity to the segregation area for away supporters and is “supported” by the club’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG). The decision has been confirmed by stadium manager Noel Jeffs in correspondence seen by TrustSTFC. Swindon Town have not yet commented on the specific incidents that led to the closure of A6. The closure follows restrictions introduced last season in the Town End, where blocks T1 and T2 were made adult-only after incidents of trampling during goal celebrations. However, Swindon Borough Council confirmed to The Adver at the time that they had not mandated or suggested any such measure. The closure is a significant concern for fans, who are now unable to purchase tickets for Block A6. TrustSTFC has expressed disappointment at the decision, stating that they were not consulted about the closure of A6. The issue was also not raised at recent Advisory Board meetings. The club’s Safety Advisory Group has supported the decision, citing safety concerns. The decision affects fans sitting in Block A6 of the Arkell’s Stand. The next fixture for Swindon Town is vs Grimsby (away, 2027-02-27) (16th in the table).
