I’m bringing 2 of my grandchildren to Saturdays game,and I was wondering what the situation was regarding covid passes?One is 12 and the other one is 13.Do they need to show a pass to get in,or is it just me?
TIA |  | | |  |

It's only for over 18s I believe.
And frankly I reckon I could have waved a Tesco Clubcard at them and got in, for all the notice they pay to it. |  | | |

“Who can get a digital NHS COVID Pass
If you're aged 16 or over, you can get a digital NHS COVID Pass for travel. People under 16 may need to show a negative test result.
If you're 18 or over, you can also use your digital NHS COVID Pass for domestic events and venues. People under 18 do not have to show proof of their COVID-19 status for domestic events or venues in England.
If you had your vaccination in the UK or the Isle of Man, it will automatically show on your NHS vaccination record within 5 days.”
Yep over 18’s only. It does say that a negative test ‘may’ be needed if you’re under 16. I guess you’ll need to find QPR’s policy with that. |  |

I notice that the Android version of the NHS app no longer lets you screenshot the screen with the QR code, so you are completely dependent on the phone signal at the ground. |  |

Can you download it as a PDF or something? |  | | |

Thanks for the information.Lucky I just checked my pass and it runs out at 1.07am tomorrow morning,so I’ve just renewed it.
Anyone know how we can stay dry during the game when we’re in the family stand? | | | |

Screenshot seems to work ok in the app on my phone with the latest update (Android 12?)
Anyway you can add it to your Google Wallet and screenshot that if you want. | |

Yes you can although the PDF layout is less ‘phone friendly’. Also there’s an option to send it on an email. [Post edited 7 Jan 2022 9:55]

My phone is on Android 11, so it looks as though the behaviour is different on different versions of Android.
The NHS app version is 2.1.0. | |

Does it log you out after a time?
If not then do what I do and open it up before you go or in the pub and just leave it as an open window and pull it back up using the ||| button bottom left. I do the same for my season ticket. |  | | |

If you add it to your wallet you can do a screenshot from that. |  | | |

Yes I’ve also got NHS app version 2.1.0.
I updated the System to Android 12 last week after getting tired of the nag screens. I updated all the apps at the same time but not sure if the NHS app was one of them. I just tried screenshot again to make sure and it works fine. | |

We use them all the time in France. To get into bars, restaurants, etc.
It's no great imposition.
I would always have a printed copy; in case of problems with a signal |  |

I emailed the club as I found the Covid passport ‘check’ completely laughable.
There was no check to link ID with the content on the phone screen so it could have been anyone’s.
This was the response:
Thank you for your feedback regarding the Covid-19 status checks that were in place. While I understand your comments about verifying IDs against a Covid-19 certificate, in practice this would cause significant delays for spectators getting into the ground and lead to potential disorder and aggression towards staff.
I emailed again to point out that the current process of checking was no more reassuring to supporters who want to ensure they are sitting next to vaccinated people than no check at all.
I haven’t had any further response… | | | |

That depends on your row.
I'm Row L and stay dry as does every one behind me.
Row K's a bit marginal
I'd say anything from Row J to Row A = getting wet. |  |

What do you think could be done better?
I think it has worked to a certain degree in that more people now have valid vaccine passes but not sure it makes a lot of difference. I’m boostered now so what difference does it make if I have a passport or not? As you say if people really want to evade the rules it’s not that hard. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution for everyone unfortunately. | |

Struggling to get enough stewards already. We all saw what happened at Millwall on the opening day with even a slight change/delay. If they enforced this properly you'd either have to get to the ground before 2pm or you'd be lucky to see half time. | | | |

You could say the same about any venue in the country. QR codes weren't designed for people to look at, let alone look at quickly.
Previous comment on this last month:
Vaccine Passports - Cardiff Experience by TacticalR 8 Dec 2021 14:01If there are no devices to actually check the QR codes it does make you wonder what the purpose is. Is it purely ritualistic? Without wanting to reignite the great covid debate, this reminds me of an article that appeared in the summer:

tbf the club have a point, I believe there ARE specific readers that could check ID against your NH record, but slower and more expensive for the club I guess.
Also club (and government) have said that you CAN enter with proof of a negative test without being vaccinated, so the answer is that no you can't be sure that the person next you is vaccinated, but pre covid the person next to you could have ANY infectious condition and you wouldn't know about it and indeed still could! | | | |

Programme it into the booking system. That is register the pass with the club in advance of the match and club store it on the turnstile system. When you scan in, no pass on system no automatic admission. You will then need to get pass or proof of negative test checked before being let in. | | | |

I wonder how the 10,000 attendance threshold works ? Does it mean that the legal requirement for the club to check Covid passports won't apply tomorrow but will for the Baggies the following week ? | | | |

EXCEPT some/most? passes only last 48 hrs, so in effect you're getting everyone (inc away fans?) to do that for every match.
You would need a marquee the size of the pitch to house all the extra box office staff needed!  | | | |
