For the amount of fans allowed - the fa, football league or whoever should just say the tickets are free, the trouble fans are going too, to make this game deserves a reward. After all this is a government, fa 'test' for returning fans to sport.The prices are ridiculous, considering the circumstances. I can see it’s still all about greed and the wealthiest being able to go
after this year I struggling to care about football now
Phone Arnie and ask him yourself. But I think you’ll find the only coaches going down will be official club “Covid secure” coaches.If supporter clubs are getting some that means Canal Street Blues and Bredbury Blues are getting the majority
Can anyone confirm if Bredury Blues are running a bus to Wembly ?
If I get a ticket you are welcome to drive down to Kent and park at my place !! Short train ride into London.
We have been allocated 300 car parking spaces in total with 50 reserved for hospitality members. Not sure how it will be enforced (and certainly not with taking the risk) but you must park in a designated spot.thanks very much, I can’t work out why it’s only saying 50 cars spaces though as surely you could just park somewhere else and walk to the ground
I’ll follow this thread closely
Thanks again

I think it's part of the test, you have to use the mode of transport assigned to you, or you're not getting in. So if you have a car slot, you'll have a set parking space, and have to use that one.thanks very much, I can’t work out why it’s only saying 50 cars spaces though as surely you could just park somewhere else and walk to the ground

My wife does LFT twice a week and has done for weeks and never had a false positive. Neither has anyone in her clinic, those that LFT flagged up were confirmed by proper tests.Has anyone who intends to go realised, that you have to take a test both before and after, if either is positive (false or genuine) you will have to self isolate for 10 days, and you'll be committing a criminal offence if you go to work?
I'm self-employed, and could not afford not to work.
According to the BMJ (https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n706 19/93/21), they've no idea what proportion are false positives?
They've used an example in the above report that false positives are about 50%, however as the number of infections falls to zero, the number of false positives must head towards 100%. Infection rates have plummeted, so if you do get a positive result, it's likely to be wrong.
It would be a real kick in the teeth to spend money on this, miss the match and have your income ruined when there's nothing wrong with you?
I'm only making the point in case you're planning on going and hadn't realised the impact this could have on you.
They are claiming about 1 in a 1000 now may be false positive, so an unlucky couple of fans. I am more bothered about a real positive which is more likely.My wife does LFT twice a week and has done for weeks and never had a false positive.

That said she's now had 2 doses but that wouldn't impact false positives.
Anecdotal yes but certainly doesn't back up these stats.
There is none you can walk in without an appointment in Manchester, and most of the appointment ones close early afternoon sat and not open Sunday morning.just spotted the filter . when you set test sites (rather than collect kits) I just get the Reebok and thats closed and dont seem to be able to book appts?

Pilsworth open to 8pm on Sat, but no spare capacity for 1,750 tests after 4.30pm on Sat nearby. It is a London centric policy without having regard to the local offer, and if something goes wrong if you do have an appointment, there is no contingency to go anywhere else
All NHS sites are free for PCR and LFT testsi dont mind booking but i could find anywhere to book.
Also, how do you know if these sites would charge? The MCFC page was saying the tests should be free?
I can get the match/coach/train ticket on Thursday but reluctant to book and pay for those without having the covid tests booked as well and doubt City will provide any more info before Thursday
The test centres at the civic centre at Brent and the local libraries have slipped in a "matchday priority will be given to those attending a match at Wembley stadium" note so clearly these are measures in preparation for the Euros and don't take account of 1000s of travelling fans who could get that far, take a test then not be allowed to go.All NHS sites are free for PCR and LFT tests
Sort of.I can't get my head around the fact that if I got a ticket and passed it to a mate, I could be reported to the cops as I have committed a criminal offence.
If however I live in Brent I can get 2 FREE and flog at least one of them to a stranger.

I wouldn't say football fans are being singled out and treated with suspicion. It's part of the wider conversation sadly. What people don't realise is you'll have to regularly test or carry vaccine certification around at all times. There is a massive inconvenience to everybody involved. Combine that with the risk of getting a positive test and having to lose out financially from not being able to attend people are just going to be turned off.I'm with 1894 and the Spurs supporters trust on this one. Too many hypocritical and downright contradictory hoops, but the very heart of this is that supporters of football are yet again being treated with suspicion yet supporters of other sports are not.
Draconian nonsense dressed up as scientific research. There were 10,000 people in Soho last night. Sat together, drinking at tables laid out by the local authority on roads they closed. Why no multiple tests, dedicated transport and the like?
Well done the supporter groups for speaking for the fans.
