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: Tim Vickery: Gold-standard stadiums but the infrastructure looks green around the gills

    Some may say that Brazil’s new 2014 stadiums have turned out to be ‘anywhere arenas,’ robbed of their local identity. It is an understandable point of view. A year on from its re-inauguration, I still can’t make my mind up about...

    I’m old enough to have experienced the first-team shirt numbers as 1-11, and No3 was always the left-back. To receive that shirt at World Cup 98 was very special. There have been some greats and you can’t dwell too much on the significance...

    Back in 1969, Charlie Croker and his team pulled off the Italian job, sneaking $4 million through a traffic jam. Forty five years later, well into their retirement, Charlie and the boys may well want to cross the Atlantic to follow England’s World...
