How is it a minefield? Given that no-one will just turn up hoping to get in and anyone coming will have had some correspondence from the club, then surely it couldn't be any simpler: no mask, no entry. Regardless of what the government's guidance is, the club, as long as it adheres to at least the minimum standard set out, can do whatever it pleases in what's required to gain entry, and will communicate those requirements to everyone attending a game.Further to my previous post, just to demonstrate what a minefield this is, it says on the club website: 'Face maks must be worn at all times once you have entered the stadium'.
it is, I guess, conceivable that the club has unilaterally taken this decision. However, my understanding is that the government guidance published yesterday says the wearing of face masks will not be mandatory – see for instance: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/11/28/exclusivefootball-fans-will-not-face-mandatory-temperature-checks/
