Gibraltar FA are allowing fans in for their game on Tuesday v Netherlands. Thought it might be of interest the protocol fans have to go through to get in; From the GFA;
Some points - virtually all residents in Gibraltar have had the vaccine; but if this is the new future for the UK even after vaccination, how many fans of sports teams or other entertainments will put up with this continually just to gain entrance? Cinemas/pubs/clubs??
Right now I'd walk over glass just to watch something, but after a wee while I'd get fed up of continually having tests especially since I would have had the jab.
If people are in the venue and supposedly protected, why the tests? I suppose the answer is to find out if those vaxxed can still pass on covid, and if so how much, whether those vaxxed get a bad dose of covid or whether it's effective.
Supporters who have received their email notifications allowing them to buy a ticket for tomorrow’s World Cup Qualifier between Gibraltar and the Netherlands have until 12 noon today to complete their ticket purchases.
Upon completion of their purchase, all supporters will receive an email from Maritime Medical Services (MMS Ltd) with an appointment for a Fast Flow (Antigen) COVID test on the morning of the match – 30th March 2021.
Anyone receiving a complimentary ticket for the match will also have received an email from MMS requiring them to have a Fast Flow (Antigen) COVID test on Matchday.
The Matchday FAST FLOW COVID tests will take place between 8am and 2pm at the MUGA Area in the Victoria Stadium. Entry to the testing facility is between the Tercentenary Hall and the World Trade Centre. Anyone who does not turn up for a test on Matchday or does not record a negative test will NOT have their matchday ticket activated, and will NOT be allowed access to the Victoria Stadium.
