    stick it out as i think a full refund is on the cards anyway i think it will be in 1 country behind closed doors

    Twist....Keep Group v Scotland, Round 16 and Final. and then keep fingers crossed......

    C followed by B if necessary.

    I'm keeping my tickets hoping for the best.

    I'm keeping my tickets and I'm still hoping for a full Wembley (maybe without away fans).
    Reasons are:
    All vulnerable people will have been vaccinated in UK.
    It's in the summer so transmission is low and the NHS shouldn't be under pressure.
    There are measures that can be put in place to limit spread. E.g nasal sparys, masks, temperature checks etc.
    Maybe a limited capacity is more realistic but I can't see an argument for playing behind closed doors.

    Wembley use a company for all the stewarding,yet FA are advertising for an unspecified number of ‘stadium access staff’ for match days,I could just be putting 2+2 together,but this sounds like a contingency to provide some sort of extra layer covid related function!

    While I do agree with what you saying the UK will be in a much better place come the summer but will the rest of Europe?
    I believe it will be held in 1 county but I’m not overly convinced it will be here. Can you imagine the outcry from the press and MP’s if the government made a bid to host it and then there was another surge. “It will be all this, why did we invite so many other teams,press and back room staff not to mention fans no mater how limited”
    Look at the outcry when 2.5k Madrid fans was it were at Liverpool for a CL tie.

    I don't think it'll be in one country. Although it makes sense from a safety perspective, it would be a minefield for UEFA if they took it from a country against their will.
    There may though be a few countries no longer willing to host it.
    I can see Johnson hyping up this tournament. It's the boost the country needs and, with him being an optimist, I think he'll take the risk.

    totally agree look at the bad press was it the grand national got if fans weee to be allowed i cant see which games will be used as test pilots surely they need a couple of test pilots before jumping straight in

    I believe all teams,back room staff and dignitaries will have been vaccinated prior to the tournament,the probability will be that mass transit by plane will be severely curtailed eliminating the Liverpool scenario,the chances are we’re already past the peak of this virus,as cases have started to drop,the fly in the ointment is if one of the other strains supersedes this Kent one!
    The likelyhood is the change of weather,increase of warmth and sunlight will have a major effect of suppressing the virus,as it did last year,in the meantime vaccinations continue to happen at pace!
    Due to the multi cultural metropolitan mix of our cities,all countries would have a fan base within the UK,were it to be exclusively played here,ensuring a decent atmosphere whatever the % of fans attending,we’re miles ahead of the rest of Europe with vaccinations,and we’ve peaked in virus cases before many of them,it remains to be seen how quickly we can get cases/deaths to fall by late February,that the next snapshot to appraise the Europe wide situation,and for UEFA to peruse all the nations responses of their contingency planning!
    It will be all about data,trends and the ability of nations response and contingency management,Wembley,London and UK are in pole position if it goes to 1 country,the stadia,hotels and travel infrastructure is all in place!

    In reply to Terry Moore:

    Sticking. A chance to have a full home tournament methinks. Perhaps other fans flying in have to have a negative test in hand. Won’t be the huge amounts anyway. That’s my dream!

    Uefa chiefs are pushing ahead with plans to hold the climax of Euro 2020 at Wembley Stadium after being reassured by the scale of the UK’s Covid-19 vaccination programme.

    Wembley is scheduled to host both semi-finals and the final of the delayed tournament, as well as England’s three group games — including against Scotland — and a round-of-16 match.

    The FA has until February to give Uefa its Plan A and a Plan B about the number of fans it expects to be allowed into the stadium by the government.

    It is understood that the scale of the vaccination programme in Britain has given Uefa huge confidence that the climax its major tournament can go ahead with
    significant numbers of supporters in attendances.

    It is hoped that the FA will confirm it expects at least 30,000 fans to be allowed into the stadium, a third of the 90,000 capacity, and potentially significantly more — even the possibility of a full stadium.



    Another encouraging factor for Uefa is that Wembley has 17,000 hospitality seats in its Club Wembley area which is a major revenue consideration even if social distancing has to remain in place.


    Britain is some way ahead of the rest of Europe in terms of its vaccination program with more than 3.8 million having received the jabs already and a target of 15 million by mid-February.

    Euro 2020 is being staged in 12 different countries across Europe, including Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, and as things stand Uefa is working on the basis of all the 12 cities remaining as host venues.

    However each country will be asked to confirm its plan for supporters next month, and it may be that some — particularly those who have not qualified for the finals — may pull out. If that is the case then England and Scotland may be asked to host more matches.


    Last year, FA leaders opened talks with Uefa about stepping in to host the whole Euro 2020 if necessary, but that was only considered a possibility if the entire tournament was to be played behind closed doors and that appears far less likely now.

    The only possible issue is if the vaccination programme is derailed by a new variant of the virus that is not affected by the vaccine.

    In reply to Ian Lennox:

    I'm reasonably optimistic that there will be at least some limited attendance allowed by June/July so will keep hold at the moment.

    Just considering whether to cash in my Munich & Bucharest tickets as I'm less convinced that there'll be much international travel back on track by then.
