Vaccine passports to enter the ground?

[JGL07]

So if you get stuck in traffic or your train or bus is late are you not getting in then? That could be fun, especially for people who travel a long way. All those cockney reds will be fuming if they make the trip up and miss their time slot!

It’s all smoke and mirrors. We had the staggered arrival times at matches in Scotland and no one took a blind bit of notice.

It is tick box mentality by the authorities.

Errrr ?

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?

Back in the Spring when baseball started, there were sections for fans that were vaxxed and other sections for those that weren’t. I’ve just checked the Yankees website and as of June 18th, they received approval to resume normal Yankee Stadium seating capacity.
Also, as of 6/15/2021, proof of a negative COVID-19 test or full COVID-19 vaccination is NO LONGER required in order to attend games at Yankee Stadium.

Talking to a rag ST holder earlier. As well as the phone ticket and proof of vaccination, they are getting allocated time slots to enter the ground too!

Between 2014 and 2016 if you want to see them win anything.

Wouldn't seating all of the unvaccinated fans together be worse? It just means all of the people most likely to spread it are going to spread it more effectively. Unless the logic is that at least they're only spread it to other irresponsible people (which is a bit unfair on the people who can't have the vaccine for whatever reason).

Anyway, I can't believe the government has missed this opportunity. Spend a few billion on a specific biometric vaccine passport. That way everyone gets a shiny new card, and their mates get another juicy government contract. Win-win.

Yeah my mate told me this yesterday. If one team are pressing ahead with proof of vaccination you can bet the whole league will. Maybe City should have withheld releasing all those tickets yesterday. Gonna cause a lot of aggro refunding a load of season cards let alone thousands of single tickets

It sounds crap. He said it could be as early as 1pm too! Can you imagine being in the ground listening to our pre match entertainment with no bars open.

Whole thing is fucked. Attending Premier League games was getting worse for years with all the bullshit associated with it. Clubs desperate to tout tickets online to the rich and using terrorism as an excuse to stop fans passing tickets on to genuine fans at face value. They’ve got the perfect excuse now with this one. Allocated time slots would sum up the very contrived way top level English football has gone. Minutes applause for someone’s dead dog next season and terrible atmospheres at almost every ground.

If you’re a season ticket holder maybe you could just go to the ground on a non match day and have yourself added to a list or be given a pass or something once you’ve passed on your proof. Saves you having to prove it every single match day. You can’t get unvaccinated once it’s been done after all.

Tickets on phone was going to hold up the ticket lines but now with covid passports and allocated times..it’s going to be a long season if we aren’t winning on the pitch. Sounds like bedlam

Allocated entry times were given out for the Everton game but it was a complete fuck up with huge queues and no checks. No-one will be checking or stopping you getting in.
