Tomorrow, the Clarets return to Turf Moor as they take on Huddersfield Town in the Emirates FA Cup (KO 12:30pm).
We are delighted to have supporters back at Turf Moor this season. However, it is vital we all work together to make sure matchdays remain safe as the pandemic continues. Please consider the health of everyone involved in matchday, from supporters to staff, to help prevent further restrictions in the future.
Below is some key information for the game:
Ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup game at home to Huddersfield, we strongly advise all supporters to read the following protocols and guidance before heading to Turf Moor.
BEFORE THE GAME
We have had more than 8,900 people register their Covid status so far, and we thank all those that have done so.
Before coming to Turf Moor, you must fill out your declaration via the pre-registration form (over 18's only).
AT TURF MOOR
Proof of vaccination through the digital NHS Covid Pass which can be accessed on the NHS app or download as PDF.
Alternatively, proof of vaccination through the paper NHS Covid Pass. If you have not done so already, you can apply for this online or by calling 119.
A third available option for supporters is proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow test. You will also need to register this with the NHS and have an email or text message with your result.
Please note: due to the speed of transmission of the Omicron variant, we strongly encourage those supporters opting to use a lateral flow test to gain entry to the stadium, to take this test on the day of the game.
Supporters will be permitted entry if they have a suitable pass of exemption. Both sets of supporters will see Covid Support Teams in attendance on Sunday, carrying out spot checks to ascertain Covid passport status.
Please be match ready by having your relevant documentation to hand when you arrive at Turf Moor.
If you do not supply suitable evidence of your Covid status, you will be refused entry into the stadium.
Please do not attend the game if you are showing any Covid symptoms.
We encourage the wearing of a facemask and ask you to carefully consider your travel to the stadium. Hand sanitisers will be available around and inside the stadium.
We ask that fans don't approach players for autographs due to Covid-19 regulations.
We kindly ask supporters to arrive earlier than usual in order to attend the match on time. Supporters arriving less than 20 minutes before kick-off are not guaranteed to be in their seats before kick-off, particularly due to additional spot checks being conducted.
