Following the recent announcement of the Government's 'Plan B', the EFL has issued guidance on Covid Passes.
This means that anybody over the age of 18 entering the Candriam East Stand for any reason, must provide evidence of two doses of an approved vaccine (14 days clear of second jab), or proof of a negative PCR or Lateral Flow Test result taken no earlier than 48 hours prior to kick-off.
We're working with the Director of Public Health for Gloucestershire and Safety Advisory Group to ensure all supporters have the safest visit to The Fully Charged New Lawn as possible.
This remains our top priority.
Who does this affect?
Anybody over the age of 18 entering the Candriam East Stand. This includes VIP Dining, the Green Man and general entry through the turnstiles.
This doesn't apply to:
Away fans in the open-air West Terrace
Supporters in the North and EESI South Stands unless they enter the Green Man Bar prior to kick off
When does this requirement begin?
Any supporters attending this weekend's meeting with Mansfield Town will need a Covid Pass or proof of negative test. This will be the case for all games moving forward.
How do I get my Covid Pass?
Fully vaccinated supporters can demonstrate their vaccine status via the NHS Covid Pass on the NHS App. A “booster” jab is not a requirement for certification. If you are unable to obtain a digital Covid Pass, official paper versions will be accepted.
People using Lateral Flow tests can report their results here, where certification of their negative test will be supplied via text or email. Please note: All Clubs have the authority to refuse entry to the ground if a supporter does not provide the necessary Covid-19 status evidence.
We also ask that supporters follow Government guidance on:
Doing a lateral flow test before attending a “high risk” or “crowded” setting (the more people that do this, the lower the chance of anyone who is asymptomatic but infected being able to pass to others at the game).
Wearing masks in crowded places, and indoors in bar/toilets/access/egress areas
Not attending if they have signs and symptoms of infection
