Pre-season friendly thread

Anyone know whether you have to wear a mask in the ground on Saturday? Thinking of buying a ticket and going with my boy and his daughter. Her first time..

Mask in the concourse areas, not needed in your seat.

Behind the directors box.

I'm just staring work on my "Where's the money gone?" banner.
 
Maybe our genius of a new manager should have bothered doing some fitness work in pre-season. He didn't, according to Spiers.
Comes to something when you're so anti-Lage that you're actually believing Spiers' "insights"...
 
tbf your Dad sounds like a top bloke. I haven't been able to drag mine back to Molineux since the 6-0 defeat to Southampton.
Weird isn’t it, not been able to get mine back in the last two seasons. Spent all those years following us being shit and now it’s too much of an effort when I offer him a free ticket 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
My dad is in a fluster about what proof he needs of jabs for access for Saturday's game, I haven't been able to find anything official quickly, anyone know? I didn't think we needed to provide evidence, but i hadn't really thought about it until now!

Edit: looks like it's all on the ticket, double jab proof will be required from October, but not yet.
 
It's all on the Government really, if they decide everyone needs double vax status/proof of a negative test before entry then we have to go along with it. Otherwise I don't think the club have the appetite to individually check 31,000 people every single home game, especially with the access issues we already have in parts of the stadium.

The Government are considering those measures for October but they haven't said anything concrete yet. Seems pointless to me if by then we're offering a THIRD jab to certain demographics.

As far as I'm concerned you buy a ticket and enter at your own risk, if you're that worried then stay away.

If he downloads the NHS App (not the COVID-19 one, just the NHS app) you can get your COVID passport on there.

It isn't about that really, coming from an events standpoint... a lot of these businesses have been closed for 18 months and are safeguarding against staff going off on sick and potentially taking the entire base down (as if one gets it, there's a high chance at least 25% of your staff will be buggered). Whereas if your staff go out socially and get sick, you're probably just going to lose one or two. For some another fortnight/three weeks of closure could be catastrophic and the government refusing to put in hard lines and leaving businesses out to dry to decide their own rules isn't helping.

I'm not saying I approve, but it's a hard and fast rule to bring in to ensure your staff are safe and won't be going off on sick in a large majority, meaning your business won't close down again. For where I work there's only seven of us, so if one gets it we're buggered.
 
Thing is though that we know that double vax/negative LFT doesn't necessarily stop infection. Those protocols were in place at Wembley for the semis and final in the Euros and it still spread like wildfire.

Basically we need to get rid of the shite isolation rules.
 
Can't wait to go through that with him :ROFLMAO:
Just nab his phone, set up the app then around 3-4 weeks before it is needed, download the cert - email it to yourself and then print it off. (the cert is valid for 1 month on the app so presuming its the same if you print off a copy)
 
AFAIK there are no vaccine passport/certificate needed for this Saturday.

Yep, my double vaxxed son and his partner were at Wembley for the final. Both got C19.
 
Just noticed this says the car park is closed 60 mins before kickoff.

Surely they don't expect you to get there over an hour early? Or do they just mean getting out again as per the last sentence?
You'll have to go for an £8 pint and a read of the free programme 😉
