Out of interest, did many people get checked for their Covid pass today?

In the Trinity road middle tier, I couldn't see any random checks on anyone taking place.
North Stand covid pass check was 100%. They were scanning the QR as well.

They were just glancing at the covid passes outside the Holte End.

No scanning or checks whatsoever at my turnstile entrance P for the DE Upper.

Sounds like the club is as organised as our government.

Had QR codes checked outside L3, then when my mate's eticket didn't work we went to the little ticket booth and had two of the pink-hi-vis people give us a wristband while we were in the queue. Waved straight through at L3 with those.

It's particularly frustrating these two postponed games, given they were both against teams we'd probably be expecting to win against. We could have done with keeping the good momentum going, and now there's just a bit more pressure to win the Brentford game (IF, it goes ahead). I don't see the added rest as much of an advantage at this stage as inevitably when these fixtures are rearranged we just stack them up elsewhere. I really feel like we could have done with going straight from the Norwich game to Burnley, to get a couple of wins on the spin (in theory of course). Tomorrow would have been a great time to play Leeds too given their erratic form.

After Brentford it's difficult games against Utd and Everton (A). I'm just mindful of momentum really, as the Chelsea game feels a bit of a pisser now. But hopefully by the time we come round to actually playing the delayed fixtures, we're still seeing the same improvement we have since Gerrard took over.

Short version...
Fuck covid.

We arrived very early (1:45 before KO) and got the wristbands outside the LTR.

However, at the LTR turnstile themselves I saw no checking of wristbands or passes/tests

It’s a tick box exercise, they don’t give a shit about us. No one checked my covid pass, but some goon on the turnstile asked me to undo the zip on my coat.
I’m 52 and not sure what I’m going to hide under my coat…may have been more worthwhile to check my phone…

It’s the same for the security checks - which have now stopped. Half hearted check of a bag or a coat. But an 8 year old with a bottle top…

They were checking most going into Upper North 15 mins prior to kick off
