credit note from UEFA came through today for the knock out stages. No doubt we're cancelled. If we get through there'll be some angst about the ticket distribution. Still no news on whether we'll be let into the Rome game or even Italy for that matter. The current covid advice fron the UK government for Italy is here www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/coronavirusItaly is now closing in on the UK death toll, only about 7K behind us now and averaging a few hundred a day. |

Still no news on whether we'll be let into the Rome game or even Italy for that matter. Also received the "credit note" for the FYT tickets for the semi and final. Not sure how exactly can I redeem the credit on the note? I'm sure that it is just a way to hold onto my money until July whilst ensuring that corporate get their tickets. I doubt that it gives FYT supporters any first dibs on tickets WHEN we get through to the semi and final. |

I don't think you have to do anything. |

I think UEFA are living up to their reputation in mainland Europe on this matter. Problem is that we're too placid accepting this.
People have spent over a year organising and re-organising their trips, already losing life hours and money on flights through vouchers that can never be used and now, within five weeks of the actual tournament starting they pull this stunt and cancel the FYT tickets of the very people who have stayed the distance and whose money they've held on to for over a year.
Respect? They should change those shoulder patches to DISrespect.

Guys - i'm after tickets for the games in Baku - if anyone has any info on availability or wants to sell please message - many thanks There may be another sale for the Baku tickets via UEFA. I think the Baku games are 50% capacity, so 34000 tickets. I would be wary about buying any which aren't in your own name, you may end up going all the way over there and refused entry. |

What's the difference between a right to fly certificate and a PCR test.
Loads of varying descriptions online regarding flying, and the prices seem to vary a lot as well ? Very confusing.

Not only does it act as your visa to be there, it also necessary to by-pass their current Covid restrictions. Will they check everyone coming off a plane full of football fans coming for a football match ? Don't know, but this Eastern Europe and you wouldn't want to be stuck there on the wrong side of customs. Our games were undersold before the pandemic and there'll be hugely less going now. I'm sure there'll be an opportunity to buy again. |

Basically compliment each other. The PCR is a test you'll have to take before flying (usually around 48 hrs) to show whether you have Covid or not. The right to fly certificate is just an 'official' way of saying you've done the test from an accredited clinic. But not all airlines or countries will require a certificate but you'll definitely need the PCR test flying out and on your return. Here's a list of providers of PCR tests www.gov.uk/government/publications/list-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testingAs for country specific rules you just need to keep checking Gov.UK and those countries websites. Ryanair has quite a useful summary here www.ryanair.com/ie/en/useful-info/map-page |

UEFA have added terms that allow you to amend the names on tickets due to covid or any other illness. You can do this on the app once it’s available. So if you are looking to buy / sell tickets it should be easy enough to transfer them.

So Turkey is on the red list for the Euros? £1,800 quarantine upon return. Is that for the transit passengers passing through the Istanbul airport from Baku without stepping outside as well?

Are people still planning on going to Baku? Crazy. I am, but your right its crazy. I've opted for the Wonky sheep direct from Cardiff for the very reason of missing out on transfers. In fact I had a reminder yesterday to pay the balance by the 19th. I'm under no illusions, it is a crap place and there's still a dozen obstacles that could put the kybosh on the whole thing. I don't know anyone going, there were 8 of us out there for the qualifiers but they've all come to their senses before me. |

Following the announcement yesterday by Grant Shapps, the travel minister,here's a bit of a headache for those still holding on to tickets for Rome.
The next announcement is on 28/05,while the situation in Italy is improving and making possitive progression with vaccine distribution, there is still lots to be done if they are to go "green" on this date.
18/06 will be the next announcement date. Just around the time Welsh supporters (if permitted) are about to set off on their journey. So hypothetically you could be heading towards an amber zone country on Fri/Sat, and returning on Monday from a green zone country.Any thoughts??

I can’t see Italy making it to the green list any time soon. There is also a big risk that whilst out in Baku or Rome one of the countries gets moved to the red list which means hotel quarantine and another £1750. They were regularly moving countries in and out last year. Big respect to those still braving it.

I can't believe that they have the fans interests at heart if they go ahead with this. Even if fans are technically able to go at the time of the tournament, mixing with fans from Turkey is not socially responsible in my opinion. |

Just found this on Which.... Can I take a holiday to countries on the amber list? What tests are needed? The government says you shouldn’t travel to amber-rated destinations for holidays. If you do travel there, you will need to quarantine for a period of 10 days at home on your return to the UK and take a pre-departure test, plus a PCR test on day two and day eight. Alternately, you can pay for an additional Test to Release on day five to end self-isolation early. The FCDO currently advises against travel to amber list countries. That means that if you do go, your travel insurance will be invalid. Currently both of our group games are in Amber countries. With travel insurance not paying out if you need hospital treatment I certainly won't be changing my mind and going.

I can't believe that they have the fans interests at heart if they go ahead with this. Even if fans are technically able to go at the time of the tournament, mixing with fans from Turkey is not socially responsible in my opinion. The way I look at it is this: is it fair, or morally right for the Azerbaijan people and their (non-existent) vaccination programme to encourage the country to be flooded with foreigners from Switzerland, Turkey and the U.K. in the midst of a pandemic? It’s a very uncomfortable truth that unfortunately no-one, least of all UEFA, want to confront. Never mind the fans being ripped off, the real people being ripped off and who are at the very back of the queue for consideration and sympathy are the people who live in the host city/countries and who could face very damaging repercussions and all because fans demand their “right” to attend a football match. It’s totally within UEFA’s gift to nip this in the bud completely by mandating no crowds at matches. But they won’t because $$$ and it’s absolutely scandalous in my opinion. As the Euros get nearer I hope (and suspect) that more and more questions will be asked from the world’s media as to why UEFA demanded that there be attendances at Euros games. |

Turkey as a country is in full lockdown at this moment but it’s not a great thought mixing with their fans in Baku and then the Italians (who’s cases are still high) in Rome.

Yes all transit passengers will be treated the same. So definitely red list with full quarantine and serious money. |

Transit stops in amber or red list countries
When you arrive in England you need to follow the rules for the highest risk country or territory that you have been in or passed through in the previous 10 days. That can include transit stops.
A transit stop is a stop where passengers can get on or off the same part of the transport in which you are travelling. It can apply to ships, trains or flights. Your ticket should show if a stop is a transit stop.
The rules of a country or territory that you make a transit stop in could apply if:
new passengers get on and are able to mix with you
you or other passengers get off the transport you are on and mix with other people, then get on again
Making a transit stop would not affect what you have to do on arrival in England if, during the stop:
no new passengers, who are able to mix with you, get on
no-one on-board gets off and mixes with people outside
passengers get off but do not get back on

When you land back in the UK you will be treated as if travelling/returning from Turkey if you transit through Istanbul. This is because you actually change planes and other passengers will have mixed with you. |

Erdogan, the Islamo-fascist leader of genocidal Turkey, is inciting violence and mobilising radical Muslims from Turkey and around the world. This after entering the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The only reason that UEFA haven't kicked Turkey out of the Euros and not removed Azerbaijan from hosting is Azerbaijan's dirty money and through fear of what these blood thirsty lunatics will do next.

I take this is why the FA want the champions league final in Wembley and not Istanbul and in turn the English players are not quarantined for the build up to euro 20 ? |

I don't think it's that ridiculous. Welsh Government have got other priorities other than trying to make things easier for a relatively small number of Welsh football supporters. The details of the amber and red list countries are here gov.wales/arriving-wales-overseas#section-61611 and the process to follow which is effectively the same as England. The only difference is England have announced 'green' countries but neither Italy or Azerbaijan are on there so makes no odds to our group games if Wales ends up having a similar list. |

The process is not the same. For instance you can only use CTM for testing currently (@ £210 a time) whereas in England you have a long list of private providers. The red list is not the same as England nor have they produced a green list (or confirmed it is the same as England). It affects fans transiting through countries. There also no ‘test to release’ as in England. |
