Assuming it's a trip again to Wembley.....

what are the current restrictions regarding the numbers allowed to travel by coach?

I did read somewhere that a 50 seater coach was only allowed to carry half its capacity and the same applies to min buses etc with a seat usually for 2 only now to be used as a single occupancy.

Could be a nightmare logistically to get to Wembley....but we've got to get through a tricky tie v Tranmere first with the final only a week later which doesn't leave much time to organise getting fans to Wembley.

I've been quoted £112 return to travel by train on the Bank Holiday Monday.... :cry:

Will there be a process, if a negative test is needed, for those tests to be undertaken prior to getting on the coach/travelling, for example having a testing centre at The Mazuma, that would be accepted at Wembley? It would be a nightmare travelling all that distance, then not being allowed entry. Plus having someone travelling on a coach, who is later found to be COVID-19 positive at Wembley, but still need to get a coach home should be avoided if possible.

Small matter of getting there first, but some planning ahead would be useful.

You could always take a home lateral flow test the evening before the Monday morning , once registered it generates a text message with proof of the result !
If they are good enough for schools and businesses surely they are good enough for a trip to you know where !

Like has already been stated, it's only 8 days between the 2nd leg and the final (if we get there) Would the club know ticketing arrangements for the final before the second leg? Could be worth knowing before the second leg IF we get there?

They are now having the Champions League final in Portugal, as our government didn't want all the press people arriving here from red countries, which could backfire as 10,000 fans will travel from here, mingle, then come back.

This should mean the play offs do take place on the original dates at Wembley

With our new variant infections, Portugal are considering not letting Brits travel
