Please explain how you worked that one out? What makes you think I wanted to be SPOT checked? They didn’t provide a spot to stand on, just a sign to say where the checkpoint was. Sensibly it wasn’t near the turnstiles so would not impede on the queues.They only checked people who wanted to be checked by the looks of it.

The only thing I've heard about Covid spot checks has been on here
I walked to my stadium entry point today and no one spoke to me apart from the wand guy

Two women doing it, hang back 1 sec and they are busy and you walk past. Anyone could have avoided them if they wanted to.Please explain how you worked that one out?

As it happens I was chatting to a friend near to the checkpoint which I hadn’t seen and as I turned to walk away a MALE employee asked me. So I couldn’t avoid it because I didn’t see it was there!Two women doing it, hang back 1 sec and they are busy and you walk past. Anyone could have avoided them if they wanted to.
The only thing you might be correct about is that I wasn’t really bothered because I believe in both vaccinations and checking.
Personally I would check everyone as they do the wandy business.
That however might mean that people would have to get there a bit earlier?

Easy to avoid if you felt the need. They had nice fluorescent orange and yellow jacket on with Covid spot checks emblazoned front and back
So you back up what I said really. From the north entrance it was just males flirting with the checkers from what I saw, and people like me with no 'papers' walked past knowing they were occupied. I would not take my papers to the game unless it was compulsary especially with the weather and the chance of getting my papers ruined.As it happens I was chatting to a friend near to the checkpoint which I hadn’t seen and as I turned to walk away a MALE employee asked me.

Plus I don’t carry the papers it’s on my phone in my Google wallet with my season card.
You said you decided to have a chat just in front of them, so volunteered for a check in effect.No I’m not backing up what you are saying at all!! Read what I said!

Everyone who didn't want the hassle just walked past them, or said no thanks if asked.
