realmadrid Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 My initial reaction was "thats not very big" but its only 3000 people at a time and it looks like a second screen is going up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 ATAC attended a meeting with the various stakeholders for the Hampden games and their minutes are linked below. No kiosks to be open for food and drink but they'll give out free water. https://www.associationoftartanarmyclubs.com/2021/06/05/meeting-3-with-glasgow-host-city-stakeholders-03-06-2021/?fbclid=IwAR1tI_Wl-Z5AeZZzfiFJFTOxwoGHyUIBOVBFVSO7a0zLMKOJ7NcRe-JVi5A 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he rightly states, expecting fans to be in a ground for 5 hours with no food or drink (bet the bottles of water run out very quickly) is not acceptable. "The reasons given for no food outlets was that socially distanced queuing could not be guaranteed" This excuse is such nonsense. The majority of folk have been queuing socially distanced absolutely fine for over a year now! Just paint lines on the ground and get a steward or two to ensure social distancing is enforced when queuing. They really need to sort this, and it isn't remotely hard to have the appropriate measures in place.

Bought Croatia v Scotland tickets in the original ballot but lost them due to the capacity changes. He has made a father and son very happy I was still excited but very excited now! https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/euro-2020-ticket-exchange.2105606/page-12 Sleeper is preparing to put some more tickets for the Croatia game on the forum and has a cat 2 package available atm as far as I am aware . He is very well known and the two times I have bought tickets from now have went very smoothly. It was the poster Juan Mata on here that posted about Sleeper when I got my first tickets and his post is on page 75 I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to sort this, and it isn't remotely hard to have the appropriate measures in place. It is clearly totally unacceptable to say you're not permitted to bring your own food or drink (except it apparently no longer extends to "a small snack")... and yet to also have none available inside (except for "free water")... nevermind in June, with masks being demanded, and with drawn-out arrival slots + kickoff times comfortably spanning lunch. However merchandise will be available. Standing in line for T-shirts and browsing posters is evidently OK. That government and organisers even came to a stakeholders meeting with such intentions betrays how out-of-touch with reality they are and in what contempt they seem to hold fans. It would also heavily discourage people with early arrival slots to actually turn-up on time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 There seems to be a suggestion that a covid test or some sort of proof of vaccination will be required for Wembley too. This is shaping up to be a farce. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I looked into it when they announced you needed to get a lateral flow test at one of the testing centres for the FA Cup final and there was a load of places in London to get it done and some of them were walk in. Seemed fairly straightforward tbh, just a bit inconvenient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just on this... in Scotland people arrested and taken into police custody are entitled to water as required, and food after 4 hours. They're literally wanting to treat fans worse than prisoners . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 That’s a fucking disgrace tbh. Who do you blame for this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wing Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Found this out on Wednesday, ordered LFT from NHS website Thursday, delivered yesterday. Apparently you input your (negative) test result online and are furnished with proof of test and result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the test events at Wembley in the past month they didn't accept tests done at home, you needed to get it done at a test centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHonestMan85 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Is it safe to buy a ticket for the opening Hampden game from a third party website? Unfortunately it's a crazy price, but I'm happy to bite the bullet just to be there. What I'm worried about is, with Covid restrictions have they put checks in place where the tickets are linked to a specific person and you need to show ID that matches their records for who bought the tickets, for example in order to gain entry? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might look to sell our Czech v Croatia tickets if able to as going looks like it might dtop us seeing the England game anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Apologies if asked and answered already, the fan zone seating - is it inside a big marquee/tent etc, or is it just benches in the open air? If the latter then the weather forecast becomes more important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 See they're still attempting to pour cold water over the Fanzone plans, despite said Fanzone looking like its had the meat already built. Screens look to be mostly built, yet SG now saying "nah, huvnae decided yet, pal". I know this is difficult stuff and that things can change, but its gone beyond being cautious now. And the news about no refreshments...Jesus christ. Is that UEFA or SG deciding? Like people have said, there'll be those with conditions, and I dare say some might end up a bit worse for wear, particularly if it ends up in hot weather. Great we all avoided covid from the drinks stand, but wee Tams now in hospital from dehydration. Then he caught covid anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Are we seriously saying some fans will be in hampden from 11-11.30 until 4-4.30 without any food, and only bottle of water. That's a bit on the extreme side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
