Manchester United F.C. has emailed fans who’ve applied for tickets for the UEFA Europa League Final in Gdansk on May 26th this evening with a long list of dos and don’ts.
Thank you for registering your interest in tickets for the UEFA Europa League Final. We continue to work extensively with UEFA, the Police, Transport Authorities and the Department of Health to understand everything which will be required of our fans travelling to Gdansk. Please take note of some important information below – if you would like to withdraw your application, please click the link below before midday on Wed May 12th.
Before you travel
• You need to make sure that you have booked all required PCR tests, for before and after your trip – further information is provided below, but you will be required to book and pay for them all before you travel
• You will need valid insurance, and we would recommend that this includes the cost for any expenses should you return a positive test at any point in time on your trip (UEFA / trips will not be refundable by the provider)
• We also suggest that you plan your travel insurance in advance, as we have been advised that it can be difficult to obtain this when travelling to an Amber category country
• Departure out of the UK will be dependent on you returning a negative PCR test, which you must book and pay for prior to travel. The cost is usually around £100. This should be undertaken within 48 hours of departure so that the same negative test result can be used upon returnArriving in Poland
• If you arrive at Gdansk Airport on May 26th you will not be required to undertake a further test, but may be required to evidence your existing negative test (we are waiting for confirmation from other airports)
• Arrival in Poland on any other day will require a further test at the airport, and anybody who returns a positive test will not be permitted to enter Poland – the process for those affected, and where they will be required to wait, is not yet confirmedIn Poland (based on current guidance)
• There are no facilities such as fan zones, bars or restaurants open as the country is still in lockdown, so please bear this in mind when planning travel
• Public transport is operating with 50% capacity seating to maintain appropriate distance between passengers. You can still use taxis
• Face masks must be worn at all times
• If there are medical reasons why you cannot wear a face mask, you must carry a doctor’s note with you explaining this. Bandanas, scarves, balaclavas and visors are not permitted alternatives to face masks
• Police and sanitary inspectors are entitled to issue you with an on-the-spot fine (approximately PLN500/£100) if you are found not to be wearing a face mask when you should. Further prosecution could result in a fine of up to PLN 30,000 (£6,000) for failing to follow sanitary rules
• Stadium entry will all be via digital tickets, which are issued to fans by UEFA directly. Whilst we will issue as much notice as possible after our ballot, by Friday, there will be no option for us to support you with this, as we will not have access to their ticketing system. You must therefore ensure that you preserve your mobile phone battery during the day so that you can use your device to enter the stadium with your digital ticket. If you do not have a mobile phone that is compatible with digital tickets, you should cancel your applicationArrival back to the UK
Arrival back from an Amber category country requires you to prove at passport control that you have:
• returned a negative PCR test before travelling
• completed your passenger locator form (you can do this at https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control) and
• pre-booked your PCR tests for day two and eight of quarantine.
• These will each usually cost around £100, but can be as cheap as £116 for two tests
• Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend providersFailure to be able to provide evidence of all of the above could incur a fine of up to £10,000 or up to 10 years in prison.
Quarantine Information
• You will be required to quarantine in your home for 10 days following arrival back in the UK (noting the day after arrival back counts as day one)
• Quarantine compliance checks will take place and the Police will have access to information provided in your passenger locator form
• Any supporters found not to be observing the quarantine face fixed penalty notices of £500. Please ensure you fully understand quarantine requirements, which can be viewed here
• There is as an option to do “Test to release” for early release from quarantine, which is an additional day five test with a private provider. This can be done in a clinic (this provides much quicker results) or via post. A list of providers can be found on www.gov.ukWe understand that confirmation of Poland being placed in the Amber category may have impacted your initial decision to register for tickets and as referenced earlier, if you would like to remove your registration of interest, please click here before midday on Wed May 12th.
If you do still plan to attend the final, please note that the ballot will take place on Friday May 14th, at which point we will confirm details of available travel via Sportsbreaks.com, and the process for securing tickets through UEFA. At this time, we do not have any further information on what price tickets will be available, and to who, but we are hopeful that all supporters with at least one European away credit will be successful.

As the Man Utd fan who passed this on to us said, “All this to see a football match!”

Ah, the final’s in Danzig, with its much reduced German population!
I’ll try once again with the vaccines. What I want to know from any advocate of these “vaccines” (or sceptic for that matter) is this.
In France, there have been rather more deaths attributed to covid-19 through April and May than in the UK. The “vaccination” of over 75’s has also been continuing through April in France by my calculations (whilst having more or less finished significantly earlier in the UK). Is there any possible connection to hitting the most vulnerable with these experimental drugs through April and the larger number of deaths, and what is your evidence? And preferably avoid citing big pharmaceutical companies and their various proxies.
The French all causes deaths for 2021 are EXACTLY the same as 2019, monthly and cumulative. The numbers you see in worldometer etc are recording a casedemic.
The number of people who have had one injection is 27% of the population, those with two is 12.7% , the government target is 60% . Currently they stand no chance of reaching that number.
If you want to dive deeper into typically French detail look at this site which is as accurate as it can be , its maintained by non-government people. The main pages are about the virus/disease. The ‘vaccine’ numbers are accessed by the drop down menu under ‘outils’ on the top right hand corner of the banner.

This is of course ludicrous. But is it any wonder that clubs/EUFA think that fans will be willing to do this, when it seems to have been decided that elite men’s football is an “essential” industry that simply had to go ahead despite us supposedly being in a deadly global pandemic?! Bread and circuses…
Welcome to your new future on planet insanity.
Both Left and Right wing governments are no bastion of freedoms shock horror
Seem to be 2 brands of the same globalists to ensure zero real choice.
I have had both AZ vaccines. I am happy and I know some people with real animus towards pharma will call me a willing sheep. I am happy and can defend the science. I know there are people who are sincerely concerned about vaccine safety but I really do think we need to stop conflating lock down scepticism and vaccine scepticism.
Wouldn’t make a scrap of difference if you were a fan wanting to go to Gdansk. Did you get jabbed under the misunderstanding that it would give you ‘freedom’, or because you were really worried about getting a disease with an IFR of 0.15%?
It’s not conflation when it was offered as the means to escap lockdown.
Control sport, particularly football, and you can control the unwashed masses.
It sill amazes me how dumb they all are.
“Face masks must be worn at all times”
From this Saturday this is no longer true, masks outside in Poland will not be required. Will only apply to inside and on the public transport.
