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 ? |
I think they said it was 'expected' attendance based on size of the ground and usual attendance I guess.
Not sure covid, unlike me, steers clear of the FA Cup!  |  | | |

I think Brighton had an extra layer of checks where they contacted everyone going to the match beforehand. I can’t remember how it worked though or if they’re still doing it. Also I’d imagine they have more resources than we do. [Post edited 7 Jan 2022 17:24]

You need to bring Photo ID apparently as well as the Covid passport. Also fill in a pre-match online covid registration form. |  |

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! |
Should be possible to set up a self register scheme that involves no input from box office staff. The work would be in the design and installation to get a programme set up and working. | | | |

Or better still, we could give up the whole idea of inventing unworkable, crazy schemes to vet people trying to watch a football game and get back to some kind of balanced perspective. | | | |

I don't see your last para being a problem we all know there's plenty of room at loftus road to dig down... |  | | |

First sentence is easy to write less easy to actually do and the 2nd, even if possible, would probably be finished by the the time the pandemic is 'over'
Lets just leave it as it is , a good old British 'fudge' that creates the appearance of doing 'something' whilst actually not being of any real benefit at all!  | | | |

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… |
So no different to being near other people on the street, in shops, restaurants, pubs, on the train/bus, at work or anywhere else. If you are truly that terrified I guess it’s best to avoid going to any match….or leaving your house at all. |  |

It is different though to be fair
in a shop or on public transport you are not likely to be in close proximity to another person or people for 90 minutes plus with the potential for not only talking but singing and shouting
I take your point about risk, nowhere is going to be completely safe, everyone has to make their own decision about risk/reward |  | | |

Can't blame the club too much on this; the gvmt has, once again, fired from the hip with no practical guidance on how to ensure that people entering have been vaxxed. I "play the game" here like many of you, have been triple vaxxed, have the cards they gave out at the time and can get a passport.
I also know that there are others who don't believe in the vaccine, or believe in some cock and bull great conspiracy who will, no doubt, have their way of "breaking the system". These people have already decided that COVID is a fallacy and relinquished any responsibility to others, so a simple stop and look will not stop them getting in.
As always, it is up to each of us to risk assess. If you're worried, don't go, if your not see you next week.
No-one else will help you, you have access to whatever "facts" you want to believe, so go with it. |  |
