Crikey! With the terrorist threat security checks and the vaccine passport checks before you even get to the turnstiles, better get there mid morning for a 3 o'clock K.O. 

You have to anyway just to get parked!

[Mr Chappers]

At the moment, it’s the usual lack of clarity, masks at a theatre, but not at a concert, and the sport rules to date are totally confusing and illogical. 

[TBW]

Can't imagine the stewards checking 16,000+ people. Will end up spot-checking I should imagine.

Unseated indoor venues over 500

Unseated outdoor venues over 4000

Any capacity over 10,000

All following same guidelines

That’s what they’ve been doing up in Scotland. No way would stewards have time to check every person individually.

It will be checks off app or paper copy I would imagine

Wouldn't be surprised to see timed entries brought back in

Let's be honest actual people in the stadium have been nowhere near 16k for a long time

A negative LFT is all you need. So basically you can order a pack, scan the  QR code and say it’s negative.. 

Missed the bulk of the press conference, this confirmed is it? The negative LFT bit.

If vaccine or bust I'm not a fan, but negative LFT or Vaccine Passport, seems fairer.

Think it's an overreaction anyway, last I read zero deaths from the deadly Omicron.

I agree, personally it's the speed it's spreading that is the concern just incase it does cause fatalities further down the line

Ah. BBC reporting 5k

BRISTOL ROVERS FC STATEMENT:

We are delighted that the new "Plan B" restrictions won't apply to us, because we have no hope in hell of attracting 10,000 to The Swap. 

We'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & welcome you all to "Santa's Grotto" - please note that a tetanus jab is advised if visiting & BRFC accept no liability for any other diseases contracted whilst on the premesis, HOWEVER; don't panic if you have lost the  sense of taste. 

This will have been evident long before Covid & is symptomatic in all Bristol Rovers fans. 

END.

I went to Cardiff recently, to a theatre (to see comedian Joel Dommett) and we had to show the vaccine passports on our phones, paper copies were not acceptable. The door person had to look at our phone and wait until she saw movement on the screen, the bar on the app sort of faded in waves. It was pretty hard to see to be fair. This was to prove we hadn’t took a screen shot from somewhere. I can see this getting messy.

So we have a wee bit of time before our next home game, and the Bears have had their game cancelled this weekend (because or Covid), so it isn't as if there is a Bears game as a test event we can learn from.

With security checks because of the increased terror threat and now vaccine passports, I'm hoping that the club are able to issue clear guidance as to how they'll manage this as efficiently as possible.

Will stewards have their vaccine status checked?

Will the look at staggering arrival times by stands so they can get as many people in the stadium as quickly as possible?

What will the guidance be for using the concourse?

And will the club suggest to the powers that be, that these new guidelines might be an appropriate moment to relax the 'drinking within sight of the pitch' rule. They could close the bars during the game, but it would keep people outside.

I'm sure all will be revealed in time, I expect the club had no prior knowledge of the breakdown before 6pm this evening either

Just downloaded the NHS app . It takes five days for your vaccination record to pull through it seems ! Probably add a few more days to that with 10 million sports fans all downloading it !!

I know they had to give some guidance, but some venues that have a capacity of 300 can feel completely overcrowded so it doesn't really work by limiting it in that way. If I've understood it.

I had the same when I went to Ally Pally in October, there wasn't more than a couple of thousand people there though. They just had loads of barriers up, and a queuing system.

I guess it is down to the ratio in a venue? 

Agree we could be in a room of 10 people and catch it but be in a club of 350 and be fine

I'm stuffed anyway as my Covid passport was withdrawn for 28 days (?) after a positive PCR.

[Bristol Rob]

Will the security checks and now passports put any of you off going?

I would guess that POTD will be hit.

Out of interest how does this apply when you can't retest for 90 days?

I've no idea Phantom. I can only assume it will be reinstated after 28 days. I'll let you know after next Tuesday.

Can only assume that venues WITH A CAPACITY OF 10k would be the measure as you can’t predict whether 9,999 or 10,001 will turn up unless pay on the day is scrapped throughout football !  On that basis I guess clubs like Wrexham , Notts County and Grimsby in the National league will require passports whereas many League 1 clubs and maybe even Luton in the championship may not !

Please keep political discussions for here 

 

It’s not even about politics anymore…

sorry they take the piss outta us what are we even meant to do..

Here’s a question, so if fans can’t come in without the vaccine passport, what about players playing without the vaccine passport?

Good question that! I would hazard a guess at LFT's being the answer for them.

Can only assume this falls under the number of people who they would come into contact with, so would not be an issue

They prob don’t have an answer for it because they haven’t thought that far ahead

[jjcarrera1974]

I refuse to support the club in person or with my family once vaccine passports are introduced. I have been a season ticket holder on and off for 40 years…. 
I will happily join any protest outside Ashton Gate …
