England Supporters Club

World Cup draw party

Posted by Team England at 16:55 on Friday 01 December 2017

Over 100 Travel Club members came down to Wembley on Friday to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia draw, eager to see where they would be travelling to come June 2018.

Guests were treated to complimentary refreshments (including festive mince pies from Lidl) in the newly opened Three Lions pub as CheekySport hosts David and Joel entertained the crowd and held a Q&A session with special guest Graeme Le Saux.

Soon after the draw had finished, confirming England in a group with Tunisia, Panama and Belgium, taking them to Volgograd, Nizhy Novgorod and Kaliningrad, CheekySport looked to Le Saux for his thoughts on the draw and some insight to what it is like being in an England team at the World Cup.

Each supporter who attended was entered into a raffle for a chance to win a signed England shirt or two FA Lounge tickets for the England v Italy match in March.  Two lucky winners Peter Connolly and Blaine Fleet were drawn out of the hat (actually a bag) to win the signed shirt and FA Lounge tickets respectively.

As the guests started to leave, no doubt with many of them having already booked their flights and hotels, the excitement that comes with the World Cup began to set in.

The official ticket application process for England Supporters Travel Club members opens on Tuesday 5^th December and will be open until 31^st January.  Anyone wishing to join up and apply for World Cup tickets can still do so whilst the FIFA application window is open.  Membership is now only £30 (£15 for Juniors) and all the information on the Travel Club, including a link to join, can be found by clicking here.
