Saturday’s match will be the first game since the easing of the Government’s Plan B protocols. This means supporters will no longer need to present a Covid pass or a negative lateral flow test result to guarantee entry into Molineux. However, fans are urged to follow public health guidance to keep each other safe on a matchday.
Supporters are also requested to arrive at Molineux earlier on Saturday than they would for a Premier League fixture, this is due to tickets being issued as print at home tickets and the entry process takes slightly longer than entering via a smartcard.
Ahead of the 3pm kick-off, here is everything the 30,000 supporters who are attending the match need to know before arriving at the stadium.
Covid protocol and Code of Conduct
Following the Government’s easing of Plan B restrictions, supporters who attend matches at Molineux will no longer be required to present a Covid pass as a condition of entry.
In line with new Premier League guidance, neither proof of a Covid-19 vaccination nor a negative lateral flow test will need to be shown, starting with this weekend’s Emirates FA Cup fourth round fixture at home to Norwich City.
To allow supporters to watch matches inside Molineux safely, the club has published a supporter’s code of conduct in line with Government advice and Premier League protocol.
The full code of conduct can be viewed here and FAQs relating to the code of conduct can be found here.
There are some simple ways fans can help keep each other stay safe on a matchday:
- Be responsible and do not travel if you have Covid-19 symptoms
- Wear face coverings in indoor and crowded areas
- Continue to wash hands regularly
- The best way to protect yourself and others from Covid-19 is to get vaccinated
We strongly encourage all supporters to take a lateral flow test ahead of leaving for Molineux on a matchday to check there is no risk of passing on the virus.
Questions regarding the code of conduct can be sent to fanservices@wolves.co.uk
