Anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms from the tournament?

55023365 — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 13:30:27 GMT

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 :-))))

The Band

Much better atmosphere without them.

Must be time for them to hang up their trumpets.

Worst thing Hoddle ever did introducing them to the games.

Always some idiots

First a great atmosphere tonight and my throat is killing me already but… sadly I had to pop to the shop near Wembley arena to get a drink for the drive home (Sainsbury’s I think) and I was shocked and pissed off that a very small group of so called England fans!!!

They grabbed a group of German flags off some fans walking by… some where off women, They then snapped the sticks, spat on the flags and then tore the flags apart before putting them in the bin!!

I informed a police officer as I walked by one so hopefully got caught in the act! But this was shocking to see!!

It’s always a small few that give us fans a bad name!! But this is shocking.

Euro 2020 ticket app

55020473 — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 22:29:06 GMT

Hi all... Has anyone had their tickets appear on the app yet? Got my email confirmation immediately after purchase yesterday, on which it said tickets would appear in the app no later than 5 days before the match so was expecting it to appear today, but nothing there so far. Thanks.

Ticket app

55023365 — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 08:50:21 GMT

Bought my ticket yesterday but it hasn't appeared on the app yet.

Should I start worrying yet?

Not sure how long it should take to appear?

Anyone else having the same problem?

Mount & Chilwell - 10 days self isolation?

55224487 — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 10:32:26 GMT

Surely they can take a test everyday and, if negative, only need to self-isolate for 5 days.

Gove took this option when he got too close to a Chelsea fan / player.

Moan about entry time slots

59239772 — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 09:12:16 GMT

We have known for some time that there would be 30 minute stadium entry time slots and the reasons are justifiable. But I was shocked to see that the earliest time slot is 3 to 2.5 hours before kick off. Let's give the time slots some scores.

1 = 1 to 0.5 hours before kick off
2 = 1.5 to 1 hours before kick off
3 = 2 to 1.5 hours before kick off
4 = 2.5 to 2 hours before kick off
5 = 3 to 2.5 hours before kick off

On that basis, my score is 5 + 5 + 3 = 13

Couldn't they have spread the misery a little more evenly ? I have to spend 8 hours behind the wheel for a round trip to Wembley fixtures which makes it a long day. I don't welcome having the day made hours longer. It's particularly annoying to have been given the earliest time slot for the Croatia match which kicks off at 2:00 pm. I'll need to leave the house at a time when I'm usually still in the Land of Nod, only to have to sit on a plastic seat twiddling my thumbs for longer than it takes to fly to the Med.

The group matches only have 25% crowds. What will happen for the semi-finals and final when it is confidently expected that 50% crowds will be allowed ? Will some fans by instructed to arrive 6 hours early ? Of course not because the stadium only opens 3 hours before the match. It will be the same time slots as above. If 5 time slots are enough for a 50% crowd then you don't need more than 3 time slots for a 25% crowd.

I call upon the Wembley stadium authorities to immediately issue a statement saying that, for any fixture with a 25% crowd :

Fans allocated the entry time slot 3 - 2.5 hours before kick off may enter in the 2 - 1.5 hours time slot
Fans allocated the entry time slot 2.5 - 2 hours before kick off may enter in the 1.5 - 1 hours time slot

New squad member

55023365 — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 17:12:30 GMT

Silly question maybe, but...... i presume we can put another player into our squad as the tournament hasn't started yet and we're now a player short?

Ticket rationing at Wembley EURO matches - the real culprits

55258571 — Sat, 15 May 2021 12:05:48 GMT

Some of the rationalisations of the 3000 ticket allocation to ESTC members have been too accepting of that mean number - some explanations verge on the pompous and patronising. Putting aside references to the pandemic etc, the real explanation is to be found in UEFA's traditional arrogance - in the good old FIFA tradition - and the English FA's active or passive support.

A 3000 allocation has been justified as a "fair" pro-rata reduction in the usual 12000 allocation. An allocation of 12000 as a share of the 85000-90000 capacity is outrageously unfair. Remember there has been no general sale to the public of tickets for the EURO matches at Wembley - we all had to be paid-up ESTC members. Where the heck were the other 75000-plus tickets allocated originally?

The balance of reduced capacity tickets i.e. about 15000 or so, after the 3000 allocated to England Fans, and 3000 to the opponent team Fans, are clearly going to UEFA, it's mates, cronies, assorted hangers-on, and the lucrative hospitality ticket holders. Most likely as a result of a cowardly deal struck by the English FA with UEFA, to get the matches "awarded" to Wembley.

This unfair allocation has to stop for future tournaments. I do not begrudge those who heard on Thursday that they have tickets - good luck to them. The ballot process was fair, given constraints resulting from the pandemic. The real issue remains the unfair original share allocated to Supporter Club members - England, and Opponents too!.

This unfairness is reflected in ticket allocation for the Men's Champions League final in Portugal. Out of 20000 available tickets, just 12000 are allocated to the two English Finalists, to be split 50;50. Leaving 80000 other tickets. A British Government Minister said this week that UEFA wanted 2000 tickets for "UEFA Delegates" - a polite term for the mates, cronies, hangers-on who fancy a jolly in sunny Portugal.

From a very disgruntled and loyal England Fan.

UEFA Euro 2020 - Category positioning

2232753 — Sat, 15 May 2021 16:34:49 GMT

Has anyone seen an update to where each category will actually be positioned with social distancing in place?

Not seen anything via UEFA or The FA and hoping I’m not placed in a block starting with a 5!
