Champions League Final | Travel Requirements + COVID Tests

Re Blidspot tests: Their site says you can drop the test off on Thursday morning 6am to 10am.
However I’ve read elsewhere that the test needs to be done after 1pm on Thursday to be valid for the return trip -is this correct?
 
Just been for my PCR test (flying on Wednesday AM). Somewhat underwhelmed with the service given it cost £99, but if they send the email saying negative it doesn't matter too much.

Need to find a LFT in Porto on Friday, but hoping thats the final hoop to jump through.
You just doing the LFT for stadium entry then? That’s what I’m doing but City’s website stated PCR! Yet Chelsea’s says LFT within 48 hours of kick-off is acceptable.

Porto airport do walk-in LFTs 7am-7pm every day. Synlabs on the 3rd floor of departures so should be easy enough, especially as the metro goes there?

Yes for the return for some reason been told it has to be after 1pm
That’s why I had to book 130 at Wolstenholme pharmacy. Results back by fri pm
 
Like you, I've just been reading that advice and it definitely talks in 'days' not 'hours' which makes sense in that everybody knows flights are often delayed and so it's virtually impossible to be so specific. It's City, I think, that are saying tests should be taken after 1pm Thursday which seems to contradict the Gov guidance. I'm assuming there is no way to get a definitive answer to the question?
The only definitive answer is that City are chatting shit!
 
I spoke to BlindSpot earlier and they said the tests are being posted out today, should receive them Wednesday at the latest. I need to drop off after 1pm Thursday. I should get the results back Thursday evening and the latest Friday afternoon. If I have not received the certificate by 5pm Friday there is an emergency number to call. Fingers crossed. What a ball ache this lot is. Just hope it is all worth it.
 
On the one I got it said here is the unique code you need....
Does your code begin with "EVERY" follwed by a 7 digit number? I have no confirmation email, just a reciept. If I log onto my account it does have a "DHSC Booking Reference" which is that. Would that be it do you think?

I am in the same position, but I think the earliest we can drop the test off is 6am Friday, which leaves a tight turnaround time for certificates?

Mind started DANTE then a seven digit number. So it sounds like that could be it

Yeah going for an LFT somewhere in Porto on Friday. I think City have tried to give the daytrippers clarity but have created uncertainty for anyone else. Ultimately, if it was going to be an issue, Chelsea wouldn't have stated it was ok. Maybe we'll get clarification in the SLO email.

Good to know about the one at the airport, but waiting for someone from Spike to tell us those proposed options in the centre of Porto.
