Note the use of NHS App.  I know some are not using it but wonder if they will be stopped. 

Also explains why quite a few are moved from the West.

In the T&C's of the tickets it also mentions that they are non-transferable and they will be carrying out random checks to ensure the person with the ticket is the purchaser, but the list above doesn't mention to bring photo ID.

Not sure how that is planned as despite our 2 tickets being against the 2 STH of myself and the missus, both tickets have my name on them.

Possibly that is a redundant ID check if we are all using the NHS tracking, as it matters only from the perspective of knowing who is in the ground.

Not sure about the arrival time business, that must be aspirational  for entry control as cannot see them refusing entry if someone is late.

Look on another thread as somebody asked and said impossible to arrive at allotted time and Wasps replied that arrive when you can.  Sensible.

All of mine are in my 11 year old daughter's name, they must think she is the most responsible.

Have got a Windows phone, so not able to use NHS app.

The government have stated that you can't be refused entry to a site if you can't use the app. or don't have a device that can use it, and the venue must make alternative arrangements e.g. paper-based, or manual entry computer-based.

Yes you will have to spend the time filling out the form - not onerous.

Saints asked for photo ID and a covid declaration form to be completed.Neither was asked for at the turnstile. Were strict on mask wearing and leaving stadium.

 Irish were just up for the craic.

At Saints we had to show ID and covid declaration at a check before we got to the turnstiles, turnstiles were just checking tickets. As you say they were strict on people leaving, they wouldn't release our block until everyone in the previous block had left, steward went over to kick out 5 people who hadn't moved.

Irish only checked tickets. Almost like a normal match, just with gaps in the stands

You must have walked into  Saints ground a different way to us re ID !

At. Irish , a group of lads moved seats to row in front of us ,to get out of sun, without stewards batting an eyelid.
