AFC Fylde are still uncertain as to what is going to be required for entrance to the ground. They said they will put any updated information on their website. If I haven't heard anything by Thursday I will get in touch with them, and post the outcome here.

Seems a bit ridiculous all this when Bamber Bridge are playing Preston in front of a sell out crowd.

Perhaps Bamber Bridge have the facilities in place to adhere to the Covid restrictions.

Preston have just announced that a negative lateral flow test will be required. 

[Rogerb]

The sell out bamber bridge Preston game is a reduced capacity of 1500 which is one third of capacity.

To tell you the truth, I don't give a toss what Bamber Bridge and Preston are doing.

Bamber Bridge can hold 4500?

I've heard that a negative lateral flow test is required for Fylde on Saturday.

True.

Leeds ask for 7000 tickets for the pre-season friendly. I wonder if Waggot will make it an A+ fixture, just to milk them some more ?

Do you have to bring your own or have one done at the ground. 
 

how does it work ?

I presume that you are talking about the covid tests for the Fylde game. If so, you will have to have a negative test. I don't know if Fylde have managed to organise having the test done at the ground. So to be sure of getting in you should bring your own proof of a negative test.

It could conceivably be our biggest attendance of the season.

You can report your result online, then you get a confirmation via text message.

[den9112]

To gain entry into Mill Farm Stadium, all ticket-holders aged 11 and older must present evidence of a negative Lateral Flow Test (LFT), reported and demonstrated via a text message or email from NHS Test and Trace. This can be shown on your device (including a screenshot) or a printout. The test needs to be taken within 48 hours of the time stadium gates open (2 pm).

Failure to do so will mean you are unable to attend the match and you will be turned away by Matchday Stewards.

It’s a bit futile. I don’t condone it, but basically you go on a website and tick “Positive” or “Negative” and then you get a text confirming that. I feel for Fylde as it’s obviously not their doing. But you would have to question the importance of a system that’s so easily sidestepped being in place when Wembley will host over 150,000 fans this week.

I agree, i also posted the information on the The Rovers Facebook page and got some passive aggressive replies..

All i said was for those that have purchased tickets here is the information, I then got the negative comments. I have since deleted the post when i told someone that as a key worker and being responsible etc etc i decided to comply  , my decision and my decision only i then got a oooo--oooooo key worker reply very childish so i just deleted it.

Have all tickets been sold?

All the away allocation as been sold, saying that the East stand as 99 tickets available and anyone can purchase those at the moment.

[Guest]

I have two spare tickets for the Fylde game. One that I have myself and another which a friend of mine is looking to get rid of. If anyone is in need, feel free to organise picking it up off me on the day

[rigger]

Fylde have confirmed that you have to have proof from the NHS of a negative covid test to get on the ground. If you haven't got access to a test kit,The Rovers are doing tests on the Darwen End on Friday 08:00-15:00. The tests have to be carried out no sooner than 48 hours before the gates are open on Saturday (14:00 on Thursday).
