Incorrect, Wembley site gives you 2 options "via either the NHS app or proof of a negative LFT taken within 48hrs of doors opening". The only difference is people from Wales or Scotland have to demonstrate their status on the Welsh or Scottish app.
As far as I am aware there is no App for Scotland showing vaccination status. It is possible to get print-outs of status and a letter from NHS Scotland to confirm this.

There is an NHS Scotland test and trace App but it contains no details of vaccination status.
 
Half the top tier yet to go on sale and half of the bottom tier still unsold. Going by that and the fact that almost all the open blocks at the moment have gone (apart from around 800) probably sold about 12,000. Not going to look great in the ground.
Leicester, on their site have opened all blocks, so even if they don't sell out, there will be sprinkling of fans everywhere rather than empty blocks.
Leicester still have tickets on sale out of their allocation of just under 27,000 according to their local rag. After months of the government and media terrifying the entire population over covid, I don't know why anyone ever thought this game would sell out.

Don’t forget that each half of the ground holds 45000 people and allocation was only 26000. They may have given away the rest to locals. Who knows.

Just had a look at Leicester website. Looks like they have sold out the bottom tier but loads left at the top.
 
Going off the pre-season games i think the line up will be

Steffen
Cancelo , Dias ,Ake , Mendy
Bernardo , Dinho , Doyle , Zinchenko
Mahrez , Gundo

Sub Grealish and a few academy players.

Surprised we haven’t reached 20k at least. With having no football for over a year etc…
I know we’ve been Wembley plenty of times but still I try to have the mentality it’s the 1st time. Thought I’d never see the place only 10 years ago . Going to look shocking , doesn’t help that it’s on ITV either .

I think someone else has already mentioned it but just as a reminder the M6 has major roadworks with closures around junction 10 from the 09th - 12th August. M6 toll will be probably busy

The game is in London, it’s a glorified friendly and the kick off time is ridiculous for people wanting to do it in a day.

Easy choice for me, Wembley for a friendly with all that crap you need to do or Spurs week after (granted may still need to do said crap) for a competitive match. With how avanti are running the trains can’t be doing with that two weeks in a row

I understand many people have reasons for not going but still I thought we would still conjure up 20k. The novelty has definitely worn off for most fans , add the COVID factor in I suppose 12k is par the course.

oh and just to cheer people up, forecast is it’s pissing down all day on Saturday

Looking at the blocks and capacity of each I think it will get closer to 16k. I'm going, but I'm old school. One day I may wake up and Wembley never happens again and after 40 years of never going - went twice in the fa cup against the spud in 81- I always make the effort, but it is what it is. A friendly in London on a Saturday night which is live on TV during a Pandemic so get why some people will give it a miss. I'm more bothered when people don't turn up for ALL the home matches. Now that winds me up. Glory hunters the fkg lot of them...I

We're going too seen two games live in last 18 month's that said they were two finals but chance of day out with mates watch a game at Wembley to good to pass up £25 for tickets night in Holiday Inn £43 each with breakfast doing RAF museum on way home company petrol so bit of a result. :-)
 
Itv information has it as Lee Dixon and Matterface on commentary, god help those watching it on TV.

Away from that my check in time at the hotel de wembley stadium is 15:45 however I’ll probably still be in The Torch, where’s everybody else loading up before kick off?
