Swansea City has been working closely with the police and the Premier League to review security at the Liberty Stadium. Now we are asking you to do your bit.

Following the dreadful Manchester Arena bombing in May, stadium managers from clubs have been briefed by counter terrorism police.

It is vital that everyone - players, staff and supporters - remains vigilant and reports any concerns to stewards or police.

Attacks might be rare, and the chance of you being caught up in one unlikely, but the message is #ActionCountersTerrorism.

Here's a quick reminder of what you can do to help keep yourself and others safe:

• Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks. Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off so please arrive in plenty of time.

• Minimise what you carry, fewer bag searches will speed up entry to the ground and if bags are brought, please have them ready for inspection.

• Be vigilant at all times and if you see anything suspicious, tell a steward right away

• If you see anything that could pose an immediate threat to safety, call 999 stating your location and exactly what you can see. If you think it is a suspicious package don’t use your mobile phone within 15m of the package.

• In an emergency, listen to the public address instructions and follow them.

• If told to evacuate, do so immediately, do not wait around to film events on your mobile.

• Move right away from the stadium as quickly as possible for your safety and to allow clear access for any emergency vehicles.

• Once you are safe, follow the local police force on Twitter for updates.
