Please read before arriving at Ashton Gate
Dear Kevin,
As you may be aware England is moving to Plan B to fight the spread of the Omicron variant and we are taking steps to prepare for your safe arrival to the stadium.
From Wednesday December 15th, and subject to parliamentary approval, the NHS Covid Pass on the NHS App will become mandatory for entry into any event with 10,000 or more attendees.
Therefore, matchdays at Ashton Gate will fall under these new rules.
People will be able to demonstrate proof of two vaccine doses via the NHS app. We understand that proof of a negative Lateral Flow Test will also be accepted, but details around this have not yet been released. We will publish a full list of FAQs and information confirming this as soon as we have it from the Government.
To be best prepared for this Saturday’s EFL Championship fixture of City against Huddersfield we would ask all supporters aged 18 and over, to take the following steps in advance, to ensure your matchday entry is as seamless as possible. |
|
1. Download the NHS APP to your smartphone/iPad/tablet today.
2. Watch the following NHS video on how to access your digital Covid Pass.
3. If you are fully vaccinated, you will be able to download a Covid Pass to your smartphone, iPad, tablet. |
Due to the high volume of fans that will be trying to access the NHS app on matchdays we recommend that, in advance you:
A. Print a hard copy of your Covid Pass and bring it with you to the stadium on matchday.
B. Save the digital Covid Pass to your smartphone’s digital wallet and/or your email.
C. You can also screenshot the pass and save it to your digital “photos” folder as additional measure. |

1. BE PREPARED to show your Covid Pass on arrival at Ashton Gate. Additional entry lanes will be used with a “super” entrance of 14 pedestrianised lanes at the Winterstoke Road entrance. Smaller entry lanes will be available at Ashton Road, the Dolman Stand and Raynes Road. For speed, please use the main super entrance at Winterstoke Road.
2. BE EARLY - We advise arriving at least one hour ahead of kick-off. As an added incentive we will be offering a special 20% discount on all food and beverages in our concessions until 2pm.
3. BE SAFE – please do not attend if you or a member of your party display any Covid-19 symptoms and/or are required to self-isolate. |
If you are unable to apply digitally using the NHS App or online service, you can ask for an NHS COVID Paper Pass to be sent to you by post. People requiring digital assistance can call the NHS 119 telephone service to request an NHS COVID Pass.
More information will follow later this week, including further details on admission for unvaccinated adults.
We are working hard to ensure that these new measures will not affect your matchday experience but we do need your help. Be prepared, be early, be safe. |
