EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Moan about entry time slots

We have known for some time that there would be 30 minute stadium entry time slots and the reasons are justifiable. But I was shocked to see that the earliest time slot is 3 to 2.5 hours before kick off. Let's give the time slots some scores.

1  =  1 to 0.5 hours before kick off
2  =  1.5 to 1 hours before kick off
3  =  2 to 1.5 hours before kick off
4  =  2.5 to 2 hours before kick off
5  =  3 to 2.5 hours before kick off

On that basis, my score is 5 + 5 + 3  =  13

Couldn't they have spread the misery a little more evenly ? I have to spend 8 hours behind the wheel for a round trip to Wembley fixtures which makes it a long day. I don't welcome having the day made hours longer. It's particularly annoying to have been given the earliest time slot for the Croatia match which kicks off at 2:00 pm. I'll need to leave the house at a time when I'm usually still in the Land of Nod, only to have to sit on a plastic seat twiddling my thumbs for longer than it takes to fly to the Med.

The group matches only have 25% crowds. What will happen for the semi-finals and final when it is confidently expected that 50% crowds will be allowed ? Will some fans by instructed to arrive 6 hours early ? Of course not because the stadium only opens 3 hours before the match. It will be the same time slots as above. If 5 time slots are enough for a 50% crowd then you don't need more than 3 time slots for a 25% crowd.

I call upon the Wembley stadium authorities to immediately issue a statement saying that, for any fixture with a 25% crowd :

Fans allocated the entry time slot 3 - 2.5 hours before kick off may enter in the 2 - 1.5 hours time slot
Fans allocated the entry time slot 2.5 - 2 hours before kick off may enter in the 1.5 - 1 hours time slot

    Not sure about a time slot but they’ve got free food and beer before the game so id guess most will be in early as possible
