[Albion] Season ticket holders: Are you going to the Watford match on Saturday?

[Weststander]

I typed one reply and a message said 3 letters too long or something, tried to edit and lost the message, had another try and it said your inbox was full.

Sorted now

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Don’t blame you. Lovely to have a special holiday after such a long stint working.

There’ll be many unvax’d teens/20’s at the game, Covid numbers are high in Brighton and Hove at the moment in that bracket, as we ease towards mass immunity.

I was under the impression I have to show proof I'm double jabbed. Have the gol posts moved?

 

[Easy 10]

All 25s terminate at the Steine now. But if you want to walk a bit further, you go into 'Scoomb and pick up a 49 and that will take you to Portslade. I imagine the 49s won't be quite as chocker as the 25s either, so may be more relaxed.

Cheers fella.

Anything that gets me back to Brighton city centre is fine tbh, I can pick up a 700 from there along the coast which suits me fine. Will just have to have a few podcasts at the ready.

I think the accepted alternative to being double-jabbed is proof of a negative test within a set timeframe? Not 100% certain though.

The lateral flow test result should see you alright

The lateral flow test reporting is an absolute joke. You enter the result of your choosing, they text/email back to tell you what you've just told them.

Anyone who wants to go to a game can just enter a negative result without even taking the test, if they were that way inclined.

Totally agree about the LFT per se in the UK.

I think there will be a lot of football fans who just see this as another necessary hurdle to overcome to gain entry. Pick up a free pack of lateral flow tests from the chemists. Open one, whack in your details on the gov website and enter the barcode and a negative result. 5 minutes later, receive text and email confirmation back that you're negative. Job's a good 'un.

They'll be zero social distancing, obviously in a crowd of thousands, and very little mask wearing. Fair play to anyone who just wants to go to the football again and take the Covid risk. Each to their own, and everyone has to strike a balance.

The measures put in place by the club are just tick box exercises really. Although to be fair, I can't see what else they can do, short of being honest and saying.... Enter at your own risk.

Naively (even though my wife is an NHS practitioner), I didn’t realise it was as easy as you said. I thought my part-vax’d 19 year old would need to actually visit a pharmacy or similar to get a legit NHS LFT negative, to see the Albion on Saturday. Pharmacies are heavily booked btw.

My kids did a load of LFT’s for school attendance at our home, understandably my wife managed it all. We always did the honest thing and they actually did them. It seems silly to have the physical items and then not bother, lie. But I know the young people/kids themselves often see it as pathetic, why bother? Not necessarily Covid deniers, more the Superman mentality that comes with youth.

Our group of 8 all going. Not looking forward to the train journey as many will not be wearing masks, experience of travelling a lot on trains recently, including Getafe and Burnley game. Almost no-one wore a mask at either concourse at those games.
Might go early to the Swan to beat worse of crowds.
Intending to get to the ground earlier than normal as the pre checks are going to add time, Getafe game we were herded through barriers for pre checks so hopefully they will have more stewards doing this and people are better prepared with Covid pass and ID prior to entry to the ground.
I’d like to say I was looking forward to it as much as the trip to Burnley but I’m not.
Hope I’m pleasantly surprised and proved wrong. It would be great to have a full ground.

 

[RandyWanger]

I'll be there. Will do a covid test later and get my passport (hopefully)

 

[Invicta]

Can't wait !!!

Would also suggest the 49 as they’ll be getting on at terminus/starting point so the bus has to stop to let them on! Likely to be full but that will definitely be less crowded than a train plus the windows open. Sit upstairs and that’s probably the safest public transport option.

Yep. Need to get try and get back to normal as much as possible - but I fully understand and respect others who may decide to stay away.

I went to both the semi-final and final of the Euros which included train and tube travel and where there were a lot more people.

I'll enjoy a drink (outside) at The Swan - and probably won't have a drink afterwards on the concourse.

I hope the club have organised more P & R busses - with no Uni Parking (except for 1901) there will be a LOT more people using the trains and P & R.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

No, away on hold, but shared tickets

As long as people are prepared at the COVID test gates, it's a smooth process.
It's the people who get to the front of the queue and then have to find their phone, and then have to find their ID that slow the whole process down.
Be ready, and it takes seconds

Yeah this is where I am on this. If you’re gonna barge past people getting off the train and hot foot it up/down the ramp at least have the decency to have you ID/pass ready to present.

If I see anyone faffing they will be in the same category of people who wait 30 mins for a bus and once it arrived they get purse out of handbag, fumble around, open purse and count out the correct money.

Idiots.

 

[Hudson Hawk]

I plan on going but I am wary.

Plan on using the park n ride and am hoping we won't be packed in like sardines and they use a bit more common sense than the trains.

I feel confident that common sense will prevail on the trains.
