Vaccine passports to enter the ground?

[wythenshaweblue£££]

no city games for me then

Same I’ve been going since 1994 but won’t be forced into having it to attend football matches.

Meant the free test you get from the chemist

Infairness, hat would be pointless.

What happens if someone tests positive after a game will 54000 of us have to isolate for 10 days after the game?

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

On the NHS app there are two parts to the Covid pass, one that says "Domestic" & one that says "Travel". I would imagine that you will have to scan the code to the domestic one. I can imagine that being chaos if you do that at the turnstile though. If people can't get online on their phone to get on to the app, which is possible if over 50k are all trying to do it at the same time. It would make more sense if you could prove you have had the jabs once and it gets linked to your account, so that you don't have to prove it every game.

I've had both my jabs but unless they come up with a workable way of getting into the ground I'll just sack my Season Ticket off, I'm not pissing about for ages every game trying to get in.

The first game is going to be carnage with a combination of that and not using season cards this year.

All who sit around us in SS3 are unable to access internet when inside the Eithad campus - only 1 guy who has vodafone can

it is making attending the match safer already.

When you open the domestic "passport" you get the option to download the QR code as a PDF that is valid for 1 month from time off down load

That would get round the need to go on to the app live at the turnstile, but would rely on people having downloaded it in advance. There will be loads who haven't before they get there. Then what if it won't scan? Logistically it will be a nightmare. It was hard enough for some games getting in with just a smart card.

Is that because no one will be able to get in the ground?

at least 2 unvaccinated ones wont be going, my DD as already gone out and i'm 2 jabbed up. Might even get back in my seat at half time after my pint before the game kicks off at this rate.

I shall leave early for the game and be ready when the turnstiles open! You ain’t stopping me going to see John Boy and Co!!


:-) I’ve got over my rant of this afternoon and am back to loving my club 100% rather than the 50% I was on then!!!! :-) :-)

The stadium will be empty in the autumn because Piers Corbyn reckons the double jabbed will be dropping like flies by then.

He has the rare talent of being one of the few people who talks more shit than his brother.

Football should fight back against this. This is going to cause a shitstorm across the country for various different reasons. The football authorities shouldn't allow itself to be the battleground on this.

This does seem the fairest solution, certainly reduces risk of catching virus from people who can't be bothered as the vaccine is meant to cut transmissibility

Granted there are a small minority with health reasons etc. who have good reason to be exempt

We’re not really here

Bear with me on this, it is just a random thought that came into my mind a minute ago so haven’t thought it right through: Is there some area of the ground that could be ‘cordoned’ off for the fans who GENUINELY can’t have the vaccine, to be seated? Are away fans allowed in next season? If not can they go there?

Perhaps call it Covid corner?

I'm old enough to remember seat belts being non mandatory Can you imagine the type of mindset it takes to balk at the idea of wearing a life saving device but people refused to wear them all the same.

Maybe give those coviders a tram to themselves also?

It’s starting to sound attractive

It’s obvious that anyone who is genuinely medically exempt from being vaccinated (which will be a tiny tiny tiny fraction) will be exempt and not just banned from the footy / gigs / etc…
