• Please arrive at the ground in good time to go through all necessary entry procedures. You will be given a 20-minute time slot for entry into the stadium this is to assist with social distancing and flow.
• Anyone over the age of 12 must wear a face covering when approaching the ground, on entering through the turnstiles and at all times within the stadium.

Track and trace
Official NHS QR poster will be displayed at all entry points and within the ground.

In England, if you choose to ‘check in’ using the official NHS QR code to provide your contact details, you will not be asked by the club to provide them. If there is an outbreak associated with a venue, a message will be sent to your app with the necessary public health advice.

If you are exempt you are exempt, however, you said you live in a Tier 3 area so shouldn’t be travelling.

Exemptions based on age, health or disability are on gov.uk. If you are exempt you are exempt.

Hi Jody, thanks for sharing, all very thorough in the main.

One question - is there a prescribed distance fans should be aiming to maintain? I’m conscious social distancing is mentioned more generally. Presumably we’re looking at 1m+ given that we’ll be wearing masks or visors?

I would have said you would probably want to avoid going if you have breathing difficulties and thus I am guessing are at extra risk if you got Covid.

That would be my medical advice as well!
