Living in Cheltenham, my season ticket is purchased to watch home games and also to support the club. I probably attend at most 10/12 games per season. I would happily donate any unused portion of my ticket to the club, as did many other season ticket holders last time.

That doesn't make commercial sense. If the crowd was 12,000 the additional 2,000 tickets would generate an additional £44,000. More than enough to pay for some passport checkers.

Would it really raise that much? I’m not convinced all 2000 would pay £22 on average. I don’t think it’s a case of cost but more to do with convenience. By having under 10000 and it exonerates Notts responsibility to carry out the checks. The same checks we all know would delay entry to the ground and cause more issues than it’s worth. I also think Notts are being astute not alienating fans who choose not to have the jabs.
Is a few extra quid really worth the hassle?

And maybe alienating some fans who might feel happier if the checks were carried out.

Yes, I do think it's a good thing to do. Can't see that they will take away a negative LFT test as acceptable so can't see a problem apart from a bit of inconvenience.

I don’t trust LFT’s though. They are not reliable and that’s from personal experience. I had COVID in June and consistently tested negative, despite having symptoms galore. I even did an LFT an hour before a PCR (which confirmed what I knew all along).
I don’t disagree with the checks I just know some will moan like **** about them and will see it as more of a hindrance as in there eyes this is nothing more than a cold or the flu.

I am sure that there must be many like myself who would feel much happier in the ground knowing that all those around me had either been vaccinated or had a negative LFT, it's ok looking for ways around this for the Wrexham game but it could prove counter productive in the longer term. If the authorities don't shut the gates first I am toying with staying away until things settle back down rather than risk getting it & passing it on.

LFT aren't 100% but it was said today they are 80 - 90%. I wouldn't dismiss them because I would rather use them and get 8 out of 10 infections than not use them and get 0 out of 10.

Regarding the cold or flu, that just isn't correct, but I think the Govt should have used a different way of reporting than within 28 days of a positive test.

A hindrance, yes, but aren't we supposed to be in this together and take actions to protect others?

Yes we are. Sadly not everyone is doing there bit. I’m not going to open up a can of worms as it’s evident from other threads what some supporters think.
Let’s just say we agree. I suspect our opinions around COVID and being jabbed are the same. I just don’t feel the club wants the responsibility and that you are right in that individuals should police themselves.
