Judging by the comments it seems many don't know about this new requirement as unless you got an email you probably wouldn't. That's why they didn't check many at the turnstile as this new requirement replaces the full check
Of course they know how many were there, they announce tickets sold but the turnstile records your entry to the ground. You can see the exact time you entered your last game on your phone ticket so this info will be on the club server.
Would it actually have made any difference last night and actually with the new random covid checks meaning you have to prove who you are to reactivate your ticket to get in make it impossible to pass your ticket on any other way.
Not that I agree with the charge.
Yes but I wasn't talking about that I was talking about those who had to queue to get their tickets reactivated after they had shown their details at the ticket office hence the massive queues at the north stand, you clearly didn't get an email
With these new checks which will clearly mean many will miss kick off its clear IMO that the club are trying to stop as many people as possible from attending, what's the betting they have got together with Southern Rail and made up the train shortage story
So if 60% of 6000 attend that's 3,600 or 1,800 a window, shouts superspreader event to me. Say 1 mintue per person that 1,800 minutes hmm, somebody hasn't thought this through have they
