I didn't go but I doubt if there was any if that. Our support hasn't got it in them.
Passes fine... bit of a longer queue than normal on Park Lane because of the fiddling around with mobiles and sunshine on screens when scanning (presume will be considerably worse next week with larger attendance) but OK... ticket at street level, Covid pass at the security arches upstairs, ticket again at barrier (doofus here kept putting it the wrong way up...)
Attendance... top levels closed except South?Seemed pretty full in South behind me... North bit patchy. About a quarter I think maybe less stayed for Women's game.
Chants... nope.
Kneeling... applause.
There aren't any. Yesterday was just a trial because the Government's threatening to make them mandatory from October (except it would be double-vax only, no testing option).
great, thanks for that!

Premier League prepares to welcome fans back to grounds
Matchday protocols created to keep supporters safe at Premier League matches this season

"From the start of the 2021/22 season, match-going fans should be prepared to show they have been fully vaccinated or have received a negative lateral flow test in the previous 48 hours."
Sounds like it might be spot checks rather than the full shebang but still
That is something that I continue to find difficult that people don't understand.
Yes we have the stadium but at the end of the day if no one is in it, visiting, spending money in it, then we are no better off. Plus we now have the expense of paying it off without the bonus of the increased income.
What's the price of a pint going to be now?
No sign of the £5 a pint when I was at the Villa game.

Wasn’t Amstel £4 a pint before lockdown? Will try and support the local pubs more with the price rises at WHL… although it is bloody convenient to drink in the stadium bars.
There was no Amstel at the Villa game.
There was a queue around the stadium. I am not sure who was supposed to scan my pass because I didn't even show it to anyone.
It was a third full.
No anti Levy or Kane chants.
Why would there be booing for kneeling? We have always clapped it.
£5.49 for a Neck Oil now
I had a proper Covid Passport check, just before the 'Search' bit in the South Stand. Seemed quite thorough which surprised me to be honest
Even if that was free, i'd pass.
I was in a queue near the northeast for the south stand and this was 50 minutes before the game. Maybe they just let people through.
Wouldn't surprise me. Queue was getting quite long so if they'd have carried on at that speed it would have built up.
Was meant to be mandatory at Wembley for the Euros and the stewards didn't care (was least of their problems to be honest). A bit more organized at Tottenham which is good.
Think they are just trying to prepare fans if the Government bring it in. No decision made yet and hopefully will not happen. Does not sound as if yesterday or Euros were very well dealt with.And a few hours after I post this, the PL change their minds...
