EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

The ESTC Team

Not one to start conversations or post soppy stuff.

But just wanted to say a huge thanks personally and from everyone else to the staff who have been working morning, noon and night to sort tickets, run ballots, keep us in contact through email, taking calls and trying secure additional tickets non stop over the Tournament.

You’ve probably had a thousand moany calls and emails, but you’ve all smashed it!

    I completely agree with what Stephen Madden says. I have been hugely impressed with the quality of the comprehensive News & Announcements bulletins. It's also apparent from reading the posts on this forum that Team England have been busting a gut on the phone line to help fans with their problems. And, of course, there are the extra tickets which have been secured.

    I do hope that it becomes known to the FA hierarchy what a blinder Team England have played.

    Agree! managed to get a ticket for the SF which was unexpected given my caps number. I had tickets for all group games plus SF & Final originally but opted for a refund (BIG mistake) so massive thanks to EF for securing more tickets for the SF which was a day to remember.

    Unsurprisingly I didn't get one for the final but I'm only 19 so plenty of time to build up my caps for future campaigns

    COME ON ENGLAND and thanks again ESTC

    Completely agree Stephen.

    The team have been amazing! We have had a couple of problems with our tickets during the tournament, but they have always been helpful and professional throughout.

    Many people will be disappointed and frustrated at not getting tickets to matches they really wanted to attend and understandably so. But you just have to remember, its not the ESTC teams fault. If they could get enough tickets for all members they would!

    Sterling work by all!!!!

    Absolutely Stephen.

    They've played a blinder match after match in unprecedented times. Having to make some tough but fair calls.

    This is compounded by having a very small team so the workload, pressure and long hours will all be on just a few sets of shoulders.

    I hope they're able to look around them and enjoy tomorrow knowing how much happiness they've brought to so many.

    Hopefully it'll remain long in members memories next time, some, are too keen to criticise.

    I'd also like to say the caps system is still very much fit for purpose with recent loyalty paying dividends but also giving newer members a chance too.

    Little wonder over 1000 members have joined us in the last couple of days on their own England journeys.

    C'mon England.

    Can I just add my thanks. The ESTC team have been fantastic. Communication has been clear and swift and they have performed miracles in getting extra tickets.

    In reply to Brian Crofts:

    I would like to add my thanks to ESTC and also David Lilley for their organisation and help!

    As a suggestion, I would like to see a return of the Gold (away) and Silver (home) ETSC / ESC memberships.

    In the (mostly) fabulous tournament we have all witnessed and been part of, if nothing else, it has shown us that loyalty should be rewarded.

    Although I rarely venture outside these shores, I salute those who follow England abroad. You, rightly IMO, should always get first refusal for tickets. Loyal (home) fans should be a close second!

    blogs: Ian Fenwick: England emerging for bright future

    I’m someone who is lucky enough work within the FA and the one thing I can say from my experience is that the future of English football is amazingly bright. Of course it’s not enough to always say that the things are going to be good in...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Belo Horizonte a fair setting for England’s new beginnings

    Last time the World Cup came to Brazil, England went to the city of Belo Horizonte to be humiliated; it is the scene of that notorious 1-0 defeat to the United States. Perhaps humiliation is too strong a word this time. After all, England’s 2014 World Cup campaign has been marked by single goal defeats to former world champions, whereas back in 1950 the pride of the old First Division went down to what essentially...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: England can bounce back if they take a few risks

    After the disappointment of the last two games, it’s vital that England take risks against Costa Rica. We don’t need two holding midfielders, Roy Hodgson has to start Adam Lallana over Danny Welbeck and we should switch to three men at the back. There was a clear opportunity against Uruguay and Italy to go to a back three – it would have allowed us to put some of our inventive players into more creative...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Let’s blow our own trumpet for once – come on England!

    I’m used to blowing my own trumpet but not when it comes to predictions – I think we’ll get a result against Uruguay, but I thought we’d beat Italy 4-0! You’ve got to be optimistic as an England fan, sometimes it’s blind optimism but if you do what we do you have to believe. I’ve been following England with the band for 18 years now and it has always been the same. Roy Hodgson...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Uruguay may raise their game away from Fortaleza furnace

    In the build-up to the World Cup a Uruguayan company launched an imaginative advertising campaign. Draped in a sky blue sheet, the colour of Uruguay’s shorts, the ghost of 1950 wandered around Rio frightening the locals – no one ever here needs reminding that the last time the World Cup was held in Brazil, Uruguay walked off with the trophy. So there was an element of Brazilian joy at Uruguay’s humiliating...
