Hi Guys, Leicester fan here, congratulations on the victory yesterday! I am hopeful to be travelling down to the FA Cup Final in a few weeks.

For you guys lucky enough to get a ticket, how was the new 'COVID' matchday experience?

How was the process of actually getting in? Where stewards pretty hot on checking COVID tests matching the names on the tickets etc?

Hi, if your club run it as smoothly as City it will be no problem. Check where you can get a lateral flow test done the day before, make sure you have photo Id, and your phone to show the stewards the negative lateral flow. Your own stewards and Wembley stewards WILL be checking names v tickets. Great at Wembley just be aware that they are charging £6 (that's half a days wages in Manc!) for a can of Bud or magners.

That is fucking disgusting, I'd rather not drink than pay those con merchants that price.
 
So good to get back, for all those who say they wont go back think again, after yesterday experience I cant wait for the next live event, I had forgotten how much better it is to be at a live game then sat at home watching on the TV, once you go back its only then you realise what we have all been missing, believe me there will be many more going back to games than what is being suggested in some circles, what a great day lets all get back to live football.

Advise your fellow fans not to make the schoolboy error I did by leaving the Lateral Flow Test Centre area before you get your results.

I got mine but then left as expected my lads to come through soon after and at 8pm Sat and then again Sun am we were then trying to find out where his results were using 119. We never got them so couldnt get on the coach.

Think your final is a Saturday where with ours being Sunday there was nowhere open for another test.

Its one thing I will feedback when asked, contingency plan for the what if it goes wrong.Timescales very tight.

Still not had the results now which is worrying.

We went down by coach, well organized at City and Wembley, the process at the ground was great and worked very well, got in with no problems at all. They do check your results and photo ID so you won't get in without it. Mask wearing was enforced to a degree but it was done in a sensible manner. I really enjoyed the day and would recommend going if you can get a ticket

The COVID tests were a pain to organise and were checked on entry to the stadium area. The lateral flow test text message doesn’t show the time of the test just the date, so how to prove it was within 24 hours not possible. Also photo id was checked for name matching and for my son his date of birth.
I personally don’t believe in masks. They serve no barrier to the virus, are uncomfortable to wear, look stupid, are unnatural covering the part of our body that breathes, eats and drinks and are a sign of submission to illogical rules laid down by authority. Anyway, I spoke to a few stewards and got a mask exemption yellow lanyard. Everyone around me was constantly being told to wear masks, but there is another way..

Sorry, with all due respect I disagree with the mask comment. Masks act as a barrier to transmission and while not 100% effective, they work well if worn properly. To prove the point, there has hardly been any flu around this year. Why would that be?.....because people are wearing masks and taking other precautions. Hopefully this note helps to change your opinion and helps you and others in not getting sick, or worse.

No flu is due to limited interaction because of lockdown. Nothing to do with masks. The number of Covid cases went up once masks were made compulsory. All the shops abandoned the two metre distancing and limited numbers with everyone believing the masks protected themselves. Science has proved masks are ineffective but these studies don’t fit in with the Control exercised on the population and are quietly hidden. Masks are compulsory in India but 360,000 new COVID cases each day suggests they have no effect.
if Sunday was about testing the effects of 8,000 for COVID spreading, then the enforcement of masks suggests that the recommendations for opening up large crowds again will be to make masks compulsory . Does anyone seriously want that?
 
Thanks all for the replies! We are still waiting to see how the selling arrangements will be but im hopeful for a ticket.

Was it just a case of showing a matchday steward your ticket / ID / test before making your way into the turnstile or was there multiple checks / a COVID checking area?

My feelings exactly. You can't beat being in the ground even if fans were spread out. Didn't think I'd enjoy it to such a degree but it was a fantastic day out.

I respectfully disagree, but that’s OK because this is a forum for expressing opinions after all. Personally, I am of the opinion that the science and data proves otherwise, and let’s not talk about over-crowded India which has vaccinated less than one percent of it’s population. As I said, I hope you and others reconsider mask wearing as it works, and that is why the medical profession supports it. Think of it this way, by wearing a mask you have nothing to lose, yet by not wearing a mask, you risk your own health and the health of others, including those you love. Really, I just don’t understand folks that are so resistant to mask wearing, but respect that it is often an individuals choice.

I kid you not, there was a woman over here in the States who cut a hole in her mask so she could breathe easier!
