I’ve seen a few references to fans getting in the ground despite covid restrictions on , on spurious press passes. Who we allegedly talking about? Gilso, OFF, podcast luvvies? Name and shame them here.

Any cheering or chanting heard on the streams is coming from the balconies on the flats, no fans are allowed in the ground.

do all people in and around the ground Saturday now have to isolate as a precaution then having been that close or is it classed as not close enough, who knows, I’ve lost any understanding of it tbh.

Presses passes being handed out to podcasts on a rota as far as i know.
I don't particularly agree with letting anyone in who's not essential, but at least if its fair and they are making fans, who might feel very far away from the action, feel a bit closer then I get it.

Well, if the aforementioned superfans really as far up the club's backsides as is alleged, then they've almost certainly caught a dose of the old COVIDs themselves now...

Commentary team made a point several times on Saturday to tell us that. Didn’t get any camera shots of them though

You can clearly hear fans rather than commentators here

There has to be a drummer in there, a few of the supporters club committee, the pink shirted one for sure, the pod guy(s) depends if they let more than one in at a time. Gilso will be there up in the gods with the announcer bloke.

Have these "bunking in" been tested for Covid-19 since the news broke?

I can confirm that no one from the Supporters Club Committee has been inside the ground since it was closed to ALL fans other than for the Pitchside Dining which was open to all.
Cannot speak for any others you mention but know that Gilson hasnt been in either.
Get your facts straight!

Hi, can I put the record straight here.
Luke Lambourne contacted both podcasts and our radio show to explain that whilst we have BCD matches and severely Ltd room for access in the press gantry and into the stadium in general, he could issue one place per home match to one of the 3 shows on a rota. Luke operates a similar rota for club guests to these shows, ensuring everyone is treated equally.
As regards Orient Hour, we were allocated a place V Plymouth and we sent a member of that weeks show panel to make notes and give their review on the Wednesday night show. Yes I suppose i could nominate myself but that would be the height of narcissistic behaviour in my opinion. We sent and will continue to send one of that weeks panel, obviously eventually I guess It will be my turn, but on this occasion we sent Glen Wilkie, who also worked at half time alongside Dave Victor on the audio commentary. Hopefully once this nightmare ends we can all return each match. But for those who think it's special treatment please remember that none of the shows are cobbled together 10mins before broadcast or recording, and whilst a Labour of love for most of us involved its still many hours of spare time producing these shows which hopefully keep fans entertained.
I look forward as most of you do to returning to the ground.

Is there a testing procedure fella ?
Not asking for arguments sake but for safety sake .
Hope anyone who was there gets tested or has already been done.

So far as I know track and trace is in place for all visitors to the ground. I know Glen had to give contact details.
