Ensure turnstiles admit spectators to viewing areas within one hour
Recommendation
The correlation between each viewing area in the stadium and the turnstiles serving it should be such as to ensure that all the spectators intended to be admitted to that viewing area can pass through the turnstiles within one hour. If that cannot be done, the capacity of that viewing area should be reduced accordingly. Since this Recommendation includes terms and conditions within the scope of the original section 2(2)(c)(i) of the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 it should be given effect in the Safety Certificate (see Recommendation 24 above).

According to the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide), it provides specific criteria for the correlation between turnstiles and viewing areas, stipulating that spectators should be admitted within one hour to their designated area.
