Looks like govt are going to say a double jab proof will be needed to see a Steelers game.

A good move in my opinion, I know some will disagree with me but I think that move is sensible, certainly in the short term..

As long as there is a process in place for fans who can’t have them for medical reasons (immune system stuff etc) then I don’t see an issue.

Apart from the arena door staff having to perform some sort of checking on jab status and the absolute chaos that will cause, including not opening up early to cope with different procedures..

I wouldn't have an objection to such a ruling, but I'd hope the arena staff are more on the ball than the Yorkshire Cricket staff were yesterday for the T20 international.....what a shambles!

They started off checking Covid Passports, but the queue got so long they started giving out wristbands without any checks.

Regards

Nothing lasts forever except death, I am sorry but given the choice I would rather put up with some inconvenience, it might not stop me moaning about it if it's not handled well, but the only other choice is not opening up again in September...

Its now firmly the arena's problem to solve...

I would personally feel safer sat close to fully jabbed people. Perhaps season ticket holders could be electronically authorised beforehand so there is just a swipe through with their card ticket. May speed things up ?

I would be fully in favour of a no jab no entry rule.
