Surely that’s against health and safety for fans not being able to buy food or drink? Take it you weren’t in Macedonia in 2008? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a meeting about the fan zone at Glasgow Green next week but that’s all he can see. He did say just because he doesn’t know doesn’t mean it’s not true but that bottles wouldn’t be allowed in the stadium so that part of it least shouldn’t be true. He’s going to ask some questions and get back to me but it will probably be Monday. Seems that it could be true. https://twitter.com/TartanArmyGroup/status/1401176486120505349?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I trust the sun but you’d hope they’d have done some sort of check before running it. There will be an uproar if it goes ahead.

The link I posted earlier wasnt the same source that I heard from last night, but I imagine it has all stemmed from the same source. I cannot see how they can possibly expect to get away with this. If true , it sounds like the authorities are putting these games on through gritted teeth. If they didnt want to host the matches they should have declined 2 months ago., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to suggest you can keep your tickets on the one phone as long as you are using the same turnstile. You shouldn’t need to pass your phone through the turnstile. Just hand it back to your husband immediately after you scan it and then go through. I’m sure the stewards will help you if there’s an issue. You won’t be the only person in this position I’m sure.

Mark Walker is the writer - he is freelance and a good guy, so will have done his due diligence. What happens when everyone needs to pee at half time? Do we have an entry slot to gain access to the toilets. Do you have to pee 1.5 metres away from the next person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J No, he was unable to buy his at the time the tickets came on sale and there was only 130 tickets left, so he emailed me his link and I bought it. I thoughtI would need to sign into his uefa account before the purchase and it would be applied to that account, but it just automatically added the ticket to my account , even though I bought the tickets in 2 individual purchases.

I have a time slot 17:00-17:30 for the Croatia game. Taking my son with me (who incidentally does not have a phone, so I will be using mine for both of us) so no way I am not taking food in with me. Can't believe I was hopeful for a beer, and now I am just grateful for a pie. I wonder how this experience will compare to when we qualify for Qatar....

GaryWood34 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) To be honest... I understand completely the concerns of fans with health issues that are worried about having no kiosk. However for the vast majority is it that big a deal to take in a capri sun and a bag of mccoys if you're needing something that badly. It's 5 hours. We all go 5 hours from lunch to dinner most days. Yes they should be open, yes it's silly they're closed but the furore on social media makes almost no sense to me. We are going to an actual football match. If you'd told me that Scotland would qualify, be playing at Hampden and I'd be there for all 3 matches I'd have taken 3 months in solitary confinement at Barlinnie to watch it. Never mind 2/3 hours wandering around Hampden taking it all in. A bit of perspective perhaps. Edited June 7, 2021 by GaryWood34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to establish blame beforehand, in order to avoid an ugly embarrassing scene at the turnstyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASCO Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have encountered this entry and exit fiasco once before - with Partick Pete at the 2006 African Nations Cup final in Cairo. We left the hotel at 13:00 for an 18:00 kick-off. The game went to extra-time and penalties. As if that was not bad enough we had to remain inside the stadium until Hosni Mubarak's helicopter had departed, more than an hour later. It was almost 11 hours after we had left the hotel before we had out first post-match beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocky Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 i presume with social distance, there wont be much 'patting down' of fans. would you agree to someone else patting you down in current circumstances,? they probably wont want to do it either.
