Interesting to hear people's views on this as it may well affect sport in a potentially huge way.

The general public seems to be in favour.

Good piece with the governments current status.

Seems a waste of time in truth. Not really sure what the point is.

It can’t be about flow of virus or whatever else they’d have introduced one years ago for the various other vaccines we have.

I’m sure plenty will argue in favour but just seems to be an implementation of something we don’t need. Impossible to police and smacks of simply tracking folk. Some might call me a tin hat wearer but you asked for views.

Personally I couldn’t give a rats bottom whether people at a gig, in a pub or at the football stood near me have had the vaccine or not, nor is it really any of my business...

Not sure what I think to be honest. If you have a smart phone then you're pretty much being tracked anyway let alone all the apps making all the nooks and crannies of your life available to corporations and hackers. If it means I can enjoy gigs, going the football and other crowd based events then so be it but I can appreciate the 'big brother' arguments against, just think the vast majority are already too far gone with the amount of personal data we store on our phones/laptops/tablets anyway.

So my views are undecided/not sure if I'm bothered.

Don’t give in to coercion these vaccine passports won’t protect anybody.

Public support can be manipulated by the phrasing of the question in any survey. I doubt very much if the take up of these passports for anything other than foreign travel would gain much traction.

I’m very much aligned with your view MM.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Absolutely no need for this at all.

Is the monitoring being carried out by the Met?

I recall from our last couple of visits to Wembley they were there in numbers on more or less every corner of the local area filming fans

No need for the tracking, much like there’s no need or benefit to enforcing a futile Covid passport on folk but people will just happily go along...
