FOOTY AT THE DEVIL DOME THIS WEEKEND |

It is a big weekend with Nipple’s 300th senior game for the Dev’s this Saturday, so Covid-19 will not stop us! There are however some new restrictions for all officials, players and spectators of home and away teams to be aware of, be it at Arkaba oval or at an away game. Please be respectful of all venues to avoid a fine for yourself and the club. 

You will be asked to check in on arrival – QR Code system is fundamental to keeping our communities safe and supporting SA Health with contract tracing efforts.

The following restrictions impacting sporting clubs/licenced venues are in place:

  • Density requirement of 1 person per 2sqm (including in licenced venue, changerooms and all other areas)
  • Seated consumption (both food and drink) is required inside at licenced venues
  • No communal food such as buffets
