The LFT are such a waste of time. You can literally just register a negative  test without taking the actual test then you get a text saying your negative

Yeah if you're a twat.

Indeed, the entire 'show a negative LF test' thing is so utterly pointless, if people want to get around the rules - and there will be plenty of idiots who do - then this is an easy one to game.

Just watching the news, they are advising people to arrive an hour before the event starts.

AVFCSupport on Twitter now saying that the registration emails will be sent out tomorrow and Friday.

I did think that the club were a bit optimistic saying that the emails would be sent 72 hours before kick off, when it was already less than 72 hours before kick off  ::)

The last couple of games I’ve been the first spectator in the Lower Trinity.

If people can get there 90 mins before KO, I recommend doing so.

Will it be that if you don't register it won't activate your ticket?

I'm taking my son this week, and last time we went together we got in really early. It was nice to have a bit of time and space to ourselves, watch the warm up and stuff, we will be doing it again Saturday.

Whitty telling football fans not to go to stadiums. If they really were worried why not just make the games without fans? Why they just "encouraging" people not attend?

Meanwhile in south africa the rates are dropping a nd death rates are low.

I’m planning to be in the ground by 2pm latest ie: parking up by 1.15pm. Far from ideal but a minor inconvenience overall. Be better if they had the lunchtime games on in the grounds or concourse - I’ve probably missed the answer already but why doesn’t this happen anymore ?

I suspect this pre registering malarkey is so they don't have to check anyone in person on the day. Or at least only give a cursory check.

Isn't it to discourage hanging out in enclosed spaces etc? On the big screen in the stadium might be the only option, but a bit weird

Is it government policy that you got to register before any large event including football
