southamptonfc Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 I didn't go to the game today because my Dad (knee replacement required) was worried about the queues and possible jostling - we both went to the Euro final at Wembley which was a bit chaotic at the gates! What was the system like? How long did you have to queue for? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 No problems as long as you were ready. Just a quick glance at your Covid passport on your phone and you were through. No checking of names or IDs. I saw one person walking away from the ground who was checking their printed documentation so I can only guess that they had been turned away.

Sarisbury Saint Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 No queues, only complaint was that I was kicking around for half an hour inside the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 Thought it was pretty swift only the numpties not paying attention and not being ready for the check and going in search of their pass in their App at the point of checking Seemed like a different crew to the normal stewards just in new coats.

Chocolate Box Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 I did not attend as maybe being over cautious, although I am clinically vulnerable. My mate did go and says only 50% wore masks in the concourse. Until the club enforce the regulations I shall not be going back. Ignorant fuckwits. I hope they are proud of themselves putting others at risk, if not themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggee Posted 29 December, 2021 Share Posted 29 December, 2021 The conspiracy theorists (who I think can now reasonably be categorised as people fed up with being right) were saying that Vax Passes were rushed through, before it became clear that omicron was essentially a cold; and had actually been spread rapidly round the globe by vaxxed travellers. If they really are about controlling a virus,(and not about creating division & digital ID's) the Orwellian Vax Passes should end immediately. I don't expect it, and I don't know when I shall go to a match again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have relatives in their 90s and more vulnerable than me. Although I am jabbed I could still pass it on. Why do people not listen to the guidance FFS. I shall not dignify any further comments with a reply. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even saw a number of stewards not really wearing them (tucked under their chins). Edited 29 December, 2021 by Lord Duckhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It was very swift at the barriers checking the passes, and no queuing effectively and I wasn't too early (earliest since I don't know when though!) . I printed mine out so no fumbling with a phone. Disappointing level of mask wearing in the concourses, although once I got to my seat I didn't either.

WestMidSaint Posted 31 December, 2021 Share Posted 31 December, 2021 Didn’t check in the slightest. I had my pass ready but they barely even looked at it. When I tried to show my wife’s i didn’t realised i’d actually locked the phone and showed a blank screen, they still let us in! we got there early (2:15ish) thinking it might take a while and we barely broke stride walking through the “check”. It was all just a big box ticking operation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles34 Posted 31 December, 2021 Share Posted 31 December, 2021 Barely saw a mask in the Itchen North concourse and so what, we are all vaccinated. That’s the point of the covid passport isn’t it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not watched Mission Impossible - they made nuclear launch codes print out in a briefcase in a hotel room a floor below, using a smart contact lens. 🤪😜😁😎🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
