Re: Covid passports.

It’s a crazy situation. The players don’t have to be vaccinated, and plenty apparently aren’t, but you’ll have to be vaccinated to watch them. That’s nuts.

The stadium manager and his staff have my sympathies as this will be a nightmare for them sort out. The season ticket fiasco was a mess all of their own making, but this time it’s Drakeford & Co who have thrown a spanner in the works.

From next week I can go a gig in a small indoor venue with 300 other people without the need for a Covid pass, but I’ll need one if I want to watch a football match in the open air at the CCS. Madness.

Not Drakeford more the Tory who failed to vote perhaps. The portal was open a good few hours before the vote to allow them to check all was ok apparently and the presiding officer had given him her number as well yet he ‘decided’ not to get in touch, so the story goes today. Conspiracy theory time, did he have an agenda? Did he want the ‘against’ vote scuppered? We knew Mark Drakeford’s stance well in advance, so no about turn there but this ‘no show’ Tory.....hmmmmmmm?

Re: Covid passports.

The same with clubs those working on there don't need it. Only those entering as customers. Madness, doesn't make sense.
A 48 hr LFT is stupid. Within that time I could have a snog with a covid positive lady. Just because you have the vaccines doesn't make you covid free.

Not compulsory in England but certainly needed, I’ve had to use it over the border on three occasions to enter venues. The venues insisted on it or no admission.

Re: Covid passports.

Seems bloody ridiculous to me - apparently all you need to do to get a paper one is give a name and postcode and yet you've got to jump through all sorts of hoops if you try to get an electronic one.

Very definitely, 100% Drakeford. We can’t blame the Tories for a policy proposed by and voted in by Labour.

Re: Covid passports.

All a bit pointless when you just need to provide a negative lateral flow that could have been done by anyone.

Essentially still relying on people to do the right thing, just like we already were.

Re: Covid passports.

Aren't these measures just to ease the pressures on the NHS through the winter, so as soon as the flu season is over then the need for passes will be no more? It's all geared around creating capacity to start dealing with the backlogs.

Of course Drakeford is accountable. He wouldnt call it blame though. This is a Welsh Labour policy.

But Arty must be furious with this Tory member failing to vote.

If hed done what he was supposed to it wouldnt have been passed and it would have been a complete embarrassment and bloody nose to Welsh Labour. A major feck up.

The players will have been tested though same as the fans who dont have a pass.

How often are the players tested? And when?

Re: Covid passports.

If they are anything like " elite sports persons " ( at my daughters Uni ) then they just get a LFT, scan them, click on Negative and away they go, a negative test

I wouldn't read too much into the " tested twice a week " story

Yes (you also have to give your date of birth and NHS number) but they check the details you give against their database provided by your GP, to confirm that you have had the jabs and then send the certificate to your NHS registered address, so it is actually more secure than the digital way.
