    Normally have the test results by now, nothing so far.......
    You don't. Please don't confuse people. Checking nearly 500 samples takes time. You will get an email when they have the result.
    Lady who did mine said it'd take about a week for the results email to land......

    Hanging could be an option for you?

    Funnily enough people have often said I was well hung.

    A massive thank you to everyone who attended yesterday. To test nearly 500 men in 3 hours is a big task but with such amazing phlebotomists and staff like @Henry Irving there was literally no queues. Also a big thank you to @Garry_Jay1964 with Sharon who helped with the bucket collection raising £725.00. ❤️
    For me personally I was very proud as my Mum (who checked fans in) and Sister (out bucket collecting) attended the event and got to see how the day worked and the appreciation from fans was so touching. 
    Thinking of you all as you get your results this week. Am always here if you need support. Xx
    Thank you to everyone involved in putting this on. It was really well organised and easy to attend.
    I don’t mind a wait for the result as there were so many samples to test.

    In previous years the results have come through very quickly, normally on the Sunday, but they take as long as they take. As simple as that 
    A great service and initiative by Tracey and great for her to continue to push it.

    A disappointing day on the pitch on Saturday means my personal total only crept up a little:
    West Brom (A) - 1pt, 1 goal, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £2
    Wrexham (H) - no points, no goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £0
    Birmingham (H) - 3 points, 1 goal, no academy bonus, 1 clean sheet = £5
    Middlesbrough (A) - 3 points, 1 goal, no academy bonus, 1 clean sheet = £5
    Oxford (A) - 1pt, 1 goal, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £2
    Norwich (H) - no points, no goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £0
    Bristol City (H) - no points,  1 goal, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £1
    Watford (A) - 1pt, 1 goal, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £2
    Preston (H) - no points,  1 goal, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £1
    Running total: £18
    I've bumped it up a bit to £25.22, as that makes the online fundraiser a nice round £5150, and what with the £725 from the bucket collection, the total raised so far is £5875. That's still £1625 short, but the donation page is still open for another 12 days if you'd like to celebrate a green test or make up the numbers for any other reason: https://www.goodhub.com/go/psa-testing-day
    Thanks to Tracey and all the volunteers for all the hard work, and best of luck to everyone that's waiting on test results.

    My thanks to everyone who made this happen and those who helped out on Saturday, very much appreciated.

    Yep - got mine as well. Well organised, hope it continues.
  • Got mine too. Came with a RED marker so will be contacting the quack to take it further. Hopefully a false alarm but needs checking. Thanks to all who helped.

Good luck for everyone.Thankyou Tracey for the excellent organisation, and sorry for me and my son for nearly making you cry for saying how much you are missed and what a loss to the club you are❤️

    Just got mine back , reading of 1.8 from 1 last year , heading in the wrong direction so need to keep a check on that.

    My 4th year attending and have slipped back into the red after two green years (was red in year 1). Would be amber on the NHS/NICE scale, but have booked an appointment with the GP to follow up.

    Thanks as always to @Tracey , @Henry Irving and all the volunteers and specialists for such a smooth running day.  I’ll blame my elevated reading on the bad journey that morning which required a bit of running for a man with a dodgy hip & bruised rib (unconnected ailments, but symptomatic of being an older git these days 😉).

    My result was available to view yesterday, it came back green, so I am pleased with that. The reading is also down on last year's result too, so all looks good thankfully.

    Had my results. I’m marginally up on last year but still in the green zone. Thanks to @tracy for organising this and to @Henry Irving for showing me to my testing station. Wishing those who had a red or amber reading all the best. You know what you have to do …

    I’m green. Didn’t realise how worried I was until I saw the result. Weight lifted off my shoulders.
    Good luck to everyone else who took the test.
