  • Person 2 runs for the nearest defibrillator (locations below).
  • Person 3 goes to the Martin Road car park entrance to flag the ambulance in and open gates.

Named first aider tonight:  

3. Defibrillators

  • Defib 1 (primary): The Westleigh pub, attached to the ground — on the wall by the bar. Open until 11pm on Mondays, so it covers the full session.
  • Defib 2 (backup): Directors room — ground staff hold the key and are on site until close. Duty mobile:  confirm

Neither unit is registered on The Circuit, so the 999 handler won't direct you to them — this card is the only record. Nearest registered community unit: check defibfinder.uk and write it here — confirm
