Wembley security yesterday

55796515 — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 04:01:23 GMT

Something I raised earlier in the tournament was the pathetic security arrangements. After the shambles of last night, quite frankly... we do not deserve to host a home tournament in this country until the security at Wembley is giving a complete overhaul.

When we went to Russia, you had private security, Fifa volunteers, the police and the military all carrying out proper ticket/person checks on everyone at certain checkpoints. It all went very quickly and without fuss.

The scenes yesterday at Wembley were truly ridiculous, from how easy it was for people to get into the stadium for free to random fights breaking out between stewards and fans. What's the point in collecting the caps now when you can just waltz in un-challenged? It was good to see some honest England fans challenging these free loaders but it shouldn't be their job.

The current security arrangements are not fit for purpose. Something needs to happen.

Anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms from the tournament?

I'm bad enough when the group stage goes down from three games a day to two games, let alone when its all over.

It's worse this time obviously as I've never followed us all the way to a Final before, but the defeat mixed with the tournament actually ending has left me with an empty feeling these last two days.

Ii keep looking at the UEFA website hoping they'll announce some more games :-))))

Genuine Fans Refused Entry

Absolutely shocking yesterday. Several fans including myself were outright refused entry as they said the stadium had gone into lockdown. Had to stand outside and miss the first 30 minutes until someone let us in. Shambolic. Compensation should be given for this.

Mask or no mask

According to UEFA

Stadium measures

All persons attending UEFA EURO 2020™ matches are required to comply with all sanitary measures and policies in place, including the requirement to:

Always maintain distance from other fans.

Wear a face mask – the mask has to cover your mouth and nose at all times. You can safely take it off when in your dedicated seat in the stands.

Arrive at the stadium during your 30-minute designated entry time slot (visible on your ticket) which will help keep everyone safe by ensuring social distance is maintained.

BUT according to Mr Jobsworth-Steward who has obviously never attended a customer service course insisted they had to be worn while sitting down cos UEFA are wrong.

Who’s right??

Cheapest England ticket you have ever bought

59004602 — Sat, 23 Jan 2021 18:06:00 GMT

With all the doom and gloom at present here is something a little different

what is the cheapest ticket you ever bought for a england game ?
mate I go with was looking at his euro 88 tickets which were a fiver each . Had a look at my euro 92 tickets which was in Sweden and I think the group games were £20 each but if memory serves me we got tickets for the friendly in russia in 92 from the ground and not through the FA and they were 50 p

I know that was slightly cheating but how low can you go ?

Inability to go to one of the 1/4s

I'll be putting our application for tickets this weekend so apologise if this becomes obvious when I eventually apply. My wife can get to the potential Rome game but cannot make the potential St Petersburg game. Are conditional matches selected individually or is the whole round selected?
