Same as the last home game I would imagine.
North and West stands.
You'll get a seat to view the game, doesn't matter whereabouts inside the stadium.
Concourse bars will continue to run a reduced service and will close at half time.
you just knew the return wouldn’t be straightforward with this council running the show
South stand ST holders are allowed into South stand but no specific seats according to the item on the club website.

Tickets for Sunday’s Betfred Championship Round 15 clash against Batley Bulldogs are now on general sale.
The Vikings host Batley this Sunday (3pm kick-off) after a couple of weeks without games. Simon Finnigan has said he could have a fully-fit squad available for the match, barring long-term injuries.
Season Ticket holders are to use their card to gain entry into the stadium for Sunday’s game, and not an E-Ticket.
South Stand Season Ticket holders will be allowed back in the South Stand for the first time since the return of fans to the DCBL Stadium, with unallocated seating for the remainder of the year (this was communicated to supporters when Season Tickets were put on sale).
Gold and Silver seating will not be available to purchase, however if you had a Gold or Silver Season Ticket in 2020 and have renewed for 2021, you will be seated in that section with limited access to the Bridge Suite also available (entrance via the Main Reception as usual).
There will be no staggered entry or exit, so supporters are welcome to arrive when they wish prior to the match but are advised to arrive in good time to avoid queues.
Supporters are advised to wear face masks when travelling around areas of the stadium, however this is no longer compulsory. Please respect the wishes of other supporters if they wish to continue to practice social distancing, and take time to read through the Covid-19 Match Day Guidelines below before attending.
There will be no facility available to pay on the gate, and tickets must be bought online via the button below or from the Stadium Shop this Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday between 10am-4pm.
Ticket prices will remain the same as previous home games this season and are as follows:
GENERAL SALE TICKET PRICES
Adult – £22

We have been working hard with Halton Borough Council in order to facilitate the re-opening of the South Stand, so please also take time to read through the following recommendations:
All supporters are reminded that only clear/see through type bags are permitted, handbags/rucksacks etc. are not currently allowed.
Face masks will continue to be worn by our matchday staff, supporters are requested to wear a face mask throughout all internal areas of the stadium. We will not enforce supporters to wear masks but we encourage you to consider the safety of staff and other supporters.
Concourse bars will continue to offer a reduced service and will close at half time to avoid overcrowding in the internal areas of the Stadium. One-way systems will remain in place where possible.

Not bothered about the bar myself but why open in the first place and shut at half time ? Either open up fully or don't bother at all.One or the other.

Pathetic once again by the council, there is a bigger queue for the toilets at half time and more closer contact with people. Normality is restored everywhere but the stadium.
On the other hand if the idea is to avoid less contact with people then why do people have to purchase a ticket ?. There is less of a footprint by paying at the gate.
Surely people can hold gheir water for an hour and a half.
Will the game be on the our league app?

Reduces the chances of cash theft at the turnstiles.
We need to show Batley (and ourselves) that our non-show at their's was a blip!!!!
Batley have had a very good season so far, with 9 wins out of 14, compared to 5 out of 13 for us.
We can't complain about a lack of preparation time either.
Expecting a good performance.
No half time bar, why? Its only 2,500 fans. Just get on with it now, people can choose to queue or not and staff can stand behind screens.

And if the person next to me in the queue has Covid ? And if I catch it and pass it around when I get home ? And the missus and kids get it and pass it n to the grandparents when we catch up next week ? It’s not just about an individual’s right to chose - it extends to the individual being able to appreciate to exercise responsibility based upon what they chose to do.
Imho it’s a choice - I have the right to freedom and part of the freedom is to endanger others or I have the right to freedom and I chose to respect the safety of others
