Reply to the email I sent to my local MP asking if it was genuinely government policy that all those with an LE postcode had to travel by coach (when the 3,600 figure was being speculated on)...

Quoted this to jim

Who stated that the social media mp statement was a load of bollocks as the club followed government advice. Have you sent the original to the club?

 I have just emailed club re above here is the reply 

Thank you for your email. The match on Saturday is part of the Governments Event Research Programme (ERP). This has come from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

 

We have complied with the information provide to us by them.

 

Kind regards

 

Jim

 

The below is from the FAQ's issued by the Club, so it does  appear that they have misinformed supporters regarding the Government mandate. https://tickets.lcfc.com/custom/documents/pdf/FA Cup FAQs.pdf

When you say before the even, is this the test I'm required to take on the same day as the match? 

 

Isn't this the test that isn't mandatory to access the final? Only the test from the assisted testing site? 

Yes the two tests that arrived in the post are not compulsory and if you don’t do them you can still go to the match. They are just part of the experiment to give the government more accurate data on how the event has caused or not caused COVID to spread. 
 

The only test you have to take is the one at the testing centre which will be required to gain access to the match

So: 

The Lateral flow test, the one you'll have booked after 2:15pm today in an assisted site, is the negative result you need to enter Wembley/coach and is mandatory. 

 

The one you'll have been posted today is one we're requested to do by the ERP (events research programme). Now that you don't need to do, but is requested. That's a PCR test you'll do prior to the event (I did mine at a site yesterday for instance). You'll then do another of these within 5 days after the final to help them understand how if any Covid transmission has taken place.

 

Does that clarify it a bit for you mate?

The testing section of this link should help if I've not explained anything well.

The below is from the FAQ's issued by the Club, so they have definitely misinformed everyone regarding the Government mandate. https://tickets.lcfc.com/custom/documents/pdf/FA Cup FAQs.pdf

 

 

You see, we don't know if that's the case that the club has straight up misinformed up, had contradicting information from the DCMS or been told directly to.

You're waiting for an email today mate. If you've heard nothing by 5pm, contact the ticket office.

Splitting hairs a bit as well, but they describe living in "Leicester" and having an LE postcode as they same thing, when in fact you can have an LE postcode in Loughborough, Coalville, Oakham, Market Harborough and Melton for example and definately not live "in Leicester"

Well it is the Government's ERP (events research programme) and the DCMS also belongs to the Government, so looks very poor from the Club as far as I'm concerned.

Or 100 yards from a cv postcode!

"and it's stakeholders" could mean the FA, Wembley etc as well. 

The club are accountable here, but how much so we don't know as we simply don't know the goings on behind the scenes.

For anyone who hasn't had/seen the email from the club. The supporter packs for those with Wembley tickets will be in your seats in the stadium.

[GlennyFox55]

Has anyone actually had their tickets or are they all being sent around 5pm?

[Costock_Fox]

Not going to lie, this is hands down the most stressful event I’ve ever attended.

Probably just as soon as we're all poised to ring/email/tweet the club they will probably pop up in the inbox at 4.55pm.

 

I swear they are just toying with us over this whole thing.

Would be the most LCFC ticket office thing ever to forget to send the tickets. 

Isn't it the FA sending the tickets?

Does the office shut at 5pm?

 

If not they’ll be bombarded with calls.

[boots60]

In about 4 hours time we will all be very happy because we have printed off our FA Cup final tickets

 

OR

 

We will all be banging our heads against the wall because 6,000 folk are all trying to contact the ticket office at the same time.
