[Albion] Paul Barber explains the matchday requirements- youtube video

I do hope the protocols and the code of conduct are properly enforced. From what I understand from a friend who was at Burnley hardly anyone wore a mask inside the concourses or on the terraces.

You do know you don’t have to wear a mask

Added to which what are the terraces in Burnley apart from rows of houses?

No need to wear masks in your seats, including at the Amex.

I take it you didn’t watch any football over the weekend?

…and on the concourse if eating and drinking….plus as I understand it’s guidance …wondering how the OP think it could be enforced

 

[crodonilson]

I thought it was mandatory to wear one indoors in the concourses? It's certainly respectful to others and good manners. Outdoors it's personal choice but I know plenty around our town are still wearing masks around the place.

It wasn't enforced at all against Getafe. I would say one in ten people wore a mask on the concourse.

 

[Napper]

yeah , wont be enforced which sensible as everyone in there will be double jabbed or have a negative test

I`m smart phone free and hopeless on computers. Managed to get my season ticket renewed with picture on. Panick re covid proof of vaccination. Finally today after trying for days in lunchbreaks and evenings and failing to get through to anyone able to help, my doctors surgery BHFC helpline and NHS helpline, have got proof coming in the post. Could take up to five working days to come !!

Please don`t take five days or I won`t be at Watford Game

Instantaneous, good to know. My thinking is I will stock up on NHS testing kits so I always have one to hand when I fly in; then it's just a case of doing it and getting the result. If it goes to plan it's not too much of a hardship.......

My match attendance was similar to yours pre-Covid. Likewise, I'll attend if travel is possible and prudent. Due to other commitments this season, I do not plan to attend a game until first week of October. If you can post your Watford experience I will be appreciative. Good luck.

I imagine that everyone has this sorted out now, but I said I would report my experience so here it is after two games.

The lateral flow tests are available free from chemists. They give you 2 boxes of 7 tests each time. Completing the test is straightforward from the enclosed instructions. Then you report the result to the NHS through the link given. The way to report is exactly as shown in the link that Dazzer gave. Then you get an email and text from the NHS within seconds confirming what you reported.

At the Watford game there was no check of my covid test or id. It was just 20 minutes before kick off and there were long queues. The security staff said that they were only doing spot checks. I was a bit earlier for the Everton game and the security person made a cursory glance at my covid email and my id.

So, no real issues with any of this. Hopefully it won't become more difficult when the actual requirements are confirmed in October.

Thanks for this. My first game will be Arsenal so this post has been useful to me.
