Leicester (N) - Community Shield | Pre-Match Thread

[mrtwiceaseason]

All mine says is phone the help line and they’ll post a certificate out, but it takes 14 days. I’ve only got my second jab this afternoon so haven’t sent off for anything as yet

You won't class as double jabbed for the charity sheild, it's only after 14 days after your jab, as far as I know, you will probably have to take a test?

Nothing but then you’d have to be a grade A 18 carat **** to then go to the game knowing you were positive

Agreed but there's plenty of cunts about to be fair. If that is all you have to do to get around the system then people will take advantage of it.

It’s about minimising the risk. Most people wouldn’t do it, of course a few would. But this way at least those who find out by taking the test and who wouldn’t otherwise know don’t go.
So, 50 positives pre match come in 45 don’t go and 5 cheat the system. So it’s reduced the risk by 90%. Better than nothing and more manageable than making everyone book a formal test

Does anyone know the situation for fans travelling from Dublin? Presumably the EU Covid app is accepted for double vaccinated?

There is no indication that the Scottish and Welsh COVID app will be accepted.

Can see me playing the race card for the first time ever.

So, I currently have covid and I'm isolating at home until Monday (2nd).

I'm led to believe that you can't do an LFT for 90 days after a positive covid PCR test as it most likely will still say positive, so I can't take one to get me in at Wembley.

I've only had 1 jab (second one was meant to be today - sod's law or what) so that can't get me in.

Am I absolutely snookered here and won't be going, despite looking forward to it for ages, or does anyone know of ways around this? I'd like to think the club/Wembley have planned for situations like this but that might be being a bit optimistic.

Hoping some of you bright sparks might know the best plan of action to getting in. Otherwise I'll have to ring the club and I really, really don't want to do that after reading the season ticket thread.

Cheers

The advice I had from a Public Health works colleague is that you are advised not to have a Covid test for 90 days after having Covid. This happened to my son and his wife who tested positive 2 days before they flew home.

However, thankfully, both tested negative on 2 lateral flow tests they took after their10 day quarantine finished - so it’s possible you’ll test negative . My son also tested negative on a PCR test when he did his 5 day test and release on returning to the UK

The test will be free so I guess the risk is buying the tickets but still not testing negative.

Hope this is of some use.

There is on Wembley’s website. It mentions the Scottish or Welsh equivalent is also accepted. Earlier in the thread someone also mentioned City confirmed by phone that’s fine too.

Unless the pandemic has caused you financial woes or you have health risks I see no reason not to go.

Not having a go at anyone, just cant understand it.

My last non restictions game was March 2020 away at SWFC ffs, I will never take anything for granted ever again.

It is of use cheers. I'll get an LFT on order and just keep my fingers crossed I think. I am going to mention this to the club though as I won't be the only person in this position and it could mean I miss the Norwich game as I can only have my second jab a month after the positive covid test. So with that one as well it will be LFT and pray.
Madness.
