EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Organisation euro 2020

The culture secretary was on the Andrew marr show this morning , when asked if Wembley will be full come July 11th he said you carnt answer that question. He then went on too say about the importance of social distancing and seeing how the data goes , my point is do you think uefa have left it too late as they are still hell bent on staging it in all 12 country’s if possible. Surely this is now impossible. Why didn’t they just give every country an earlier deadline and if england or the uk was happy to stage it just say best and worst case scenarios ie 100 % 75-50-25-0

    Completely agree, however I can’t help but think these event organisers have interpreted the rules as they see fit in a bid to flog as many tickets as possible.

    In the governments road map, this is in the section for Step 4, from June 21st onwards.

    “ The same Events Research Programme will guide decisions on whether all limits can be removed on weddings and other life events.” Can only assume this covers all mass events, be it football matches, gigs, festivals etc

    People need to remember that tickets have been assigned a dedicated 30 minute entry time slot

    In reply to Kevin Jenkins:

    Fully agree Kevin, and I read that lots of others agree with your comments. The wording on the Uefa website says "minimum 25% Wembley", but no mention of it again, unlike the "25-33%" for some other countries who are "reporting back at the end of April to see if can allow more". Do we think its a case for getting this raised with the FA / Government now to press them for a bigger capacity?
    Im sure that the ESTC are doing their best and fighting the fans corner as always . But how can we help and play our part ?

    Definitely needs raising to the Fa and gov, particularly for the 3rd group game which will be after the 'as close to normal as possible' final step of reducing restrictions. Surely that means all with a ticket who want to attend can do, not some random 25% capacity plucked out of thin air. As an NHS keyworker who has worked through, had Covid, both vaccines, test myself twice weekly I'll be furious if I can't attend due to some 'computer says no' idiocy. Feels like the people making this decision are terrified of a spike due to the games. But somehow a few weeks later for the latter stages it'll all be fine. The people have decided if they want to attend and weigh up that risk. It should be upto us as ticket holders, not some decision maker who has no doubt worked from home all the way through.

    blogs: Tim Vickery: A World Cup in every sense

    Two World Cup Finals are being replayed in this week’s 2014 semi finals. The Germans seek revenge for their 2-0 defeat in 2002 when they meet Brazil – amazingly only the second time these giants have ever met in the tournament. And Holland were the closest – so far – a European team has ever come to winning the World Cup in South America when they hit the post with almost the last kick of normal...

    blogs: Sue Smith: England can bounce back

    There’s no doubt England can bounce back – the women’s team did it after the 2007 World Cup by going all the way in Euro 2009. Although we lost against Germany in the final of those Euros, there was a sense of achievement and progress...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Cool-hand Luke can handle price-tag

    Having a hefty price tag can weight heavy on your shoulders – it certainly did for me when I moved back to Chelsea in 1997 for £5.5m. At the time I was the most expensive English defender and there was a lot of pressure that came with that. I found it quite hard and Luke Shaw now finds himself in a similar position after moving to Manchester United for £30m. It does make you look at things differently...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: It’s time to give England’s players a break

    There’s no doubt England’s players will be disappointed with the way things panned out in Brazil, but they deserve a break after the mentally exhausting season they have all had. They’ll feel like they are coming home prematurely because going into these tournaments you always think that you’re good enough to progress, so to lose their first two games and be out of the World Cup this early will...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Fresh faces give us cause for hope

    In my years following England I’ve seen some great players come and go – and teams rise and fall. I can say with pride that I saw every game David Beckham played for England and I have also been privileged enough to have seen all of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard’s appearances. Watching the Costa Rica match it was hard to think that it might be both of their final appearances. I remember Gerrard...
