Rovers v Sunderland 27 dec. plan B measures?

[The Beast]

By my reckoning there are around 2700 home tickets left for this.
With Sunderland selling the full allocation including part of east stand, that’s over 10k.
So this has to be a covid pass game.
Unless it’s called off due to covid in teams.
Or lockdown.
Still nothing from drfc though?

Am I missing something here? If there’s 2,300 left there must be over 12,000 sold, unless there’s 2,000 mackems in the home end I can’t see that. If there’s 10,000 in the ground I’ll be very surprised, in fact I’ll be surprised if there’s anyone in the ground.

So do we take it the game is to go ahead?

it will go ahead ,just likely with no fans and on ifollow ,get the beer

[knockers]

Just been down to the club shop this morning.
 

CR Was the ticket office open?

[Jonathan]

Game can go ahead at full capacity without restrictions as long as it’s reclassified as a work meeting between Doncaster and Sunderland and those attending wear a suit.

Sorry did not notice but assume it would be. Normal opening hours I would have thought up to Thursday.

[drfchound]

Don’t our covid infected players have to isolate ten days from the 17th December.

Boxing Day is the last day hound.
So should be available for 27th but have they trained? If so how much training?

Take a look at the home ticket avail on the website. Click on the seats avail and count them up in each area. Around 2700 left. There will be a seg block in east stand.

Do we need to take cheese and wine to this business meeting Jonathan. Nothing on DROS yet.

Not disputing what your saying just can’t see there being 12,000. Do they keep a couple of blocks free in the West stand? I always notice they’re empty

Maybe keep a couple of blocks in the East free for schools and junior teams as well?

How do I go about setting up a passport for a 13 year old then?

[Metalmicky]

Something on official site now... .... Covid passes required

they were given a card when they got their jab,  that should do..

Just read the EFL blurb on the official site...

https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/2021/december/efl-qa-on-covid-19-certification/

where it says.....

Under-18s will not need to certify their COVID status.

[idler]

How many season ticket holders won't be attending though.
I can't make it and  I'm a quite few more will be absent.

[bobbymax]

I'm another ST holder who won't be there. Could have got Boxing Day at 3pm but no chance for 12.30pm on a work day.

Great, thanks both. Will get them to bring the card just in case.

I could be wrong, but I doubt that it will be available on iFollow, due to it being on Sky Sports.

[roversdude]

I think that’s correct SS

[Filo]

From the ticketing website...

"Ticket Sales Limited to Those With A Previous Purchase History
All Those 12 & Over Will Need To Show a Covid Pass or a Negative Lateral Flow Test To Gain Entry on the Day"

I wonder if we need to scan the QR code at the tunstyle

[drfchound]

I can imagine some long queues at the turnstiles pre match.
Probably a good idea to get to the ground a bit earlier than usual.

Think that’s how it will work.

Told by Liverpool FC it may be needed to get in last week but we were not asked for it on entry.
Will definitely be now.
Just get the NHS app on to your phone. Will show the barcode on it.

[Padge_DRFC]

Could be behind closed doors at this rate. Wales already gone for that. Absolute joke if so.

... or play it safe and watch on Telly ?

[deebee]

Still waiting for my pass letter for over a week now. NHS not sending me the 6 digit code I need to use app tried 20 times blinking useless.

[Campsall rover]

I'm another ST holder who won't be there. Could have got Boxing Day at 3pm but no chance for 12.30pm on a work day.

Not officially a working day though. Xmas day and Boxing Day are both weekend days so Mon and Tues are bank holidays.

Obviously you are having to work which is unfortunate.

[Mr plasterer]

Got my Covid pass!!

will it stop you catching covid though?

Yeah, work in sports media and ruled by deadlines. Used to working bank holidays to some degree but still frustrating when I can't get to matches.
