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

    In reply to David Tucker:

    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
