As far as I am aware the useless vaccine passports will only have to be shown for attendances over 10,000.
Apart from the Derby against the Dabs on 2nd February there will be no other attendances this season at Dens Park over 10k.
In my opinion it is doubtful if there will be 10k spectators at the match against the Dabs as it is likely that a number of people supporting both clubs who had returned to stay in the Dundee area for New Year can now no longer attend next month’s rearranged match.
They might return their ticket to receive a refund which could reduce the number of seats sold for the game to below the ‘magic’ 10k figure to avoid 50% of the spectators at the game having to a show a vaccine passport prior to entry.

Papers are reporting that the new rules relate to all events attracting over 1,000 people not 10,000. If we actually do have to challenge half the crowd to prove vaccination (three doses as well) or negative Lateral Flow Test then they'll better open the gates fine and early and folk will have to turn up early to get in. In the real world though I expect we will do the best we can re testing and check as many as we can. Then of course there is the fact that LFTs are virtually meaningless as a weapon in identifying whether a body has Covid when all you have to do is report a negative test whether it is positive, negative or whether you even bothered to do the darn test in the first place. More virtue signalling and a pointless exercise.

Queue for a ticket, queue to get your 'Covid Passport' checked then queue to get in the gate.

Mr. Sensible will be raging.

Surely this isn’t the same Mr Sensible who posts on the DBF?

Thanks to Nippy’s crazy rules in Scotland we are returning to the bad old days of Eastern European Communist countries.
In June 1983 my wife and I had a fortnight’s holiday in Golden Sands in Bulgaria.
One day we took the local bus service to Varna and had lunch in a restaurant. It was more like a basic transport cafe.
We had to queue up to order our meal, then queue again to pay for it. We then had to queue to receive our meal as there was no table service. To cap it all we had to eat our chicken and chips using two forks because there were no knives available for use. Everyone was eating their meal using two forks. No wonder half of the residents of Eastern European countries were desperate to go and live in Western Europe after the Berlin Wall came down.

There is also a problem with registering a lateral flow test if the person taking the test does not have a computer. No doubt the halfwits at Holyrood have not considered that scenario.
