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.

This tournament has thrown up more than the unexpected. 19 months ago, we were opening applications, running ballots and getting excited about the prospect of Euro 2020… that all changed pretty drastically!

Everything was turned upside down and we had to make some very difficult decisions regarding tickets, refunds and how we would re-ballot the whole tournament. Throughout the entire process we have tried our upmost to be as fair and transparent as we possibly could

We have also tried our best to secure as many additional tickets as possible throughout. This has resulted in late emails and quick, short notice, sales. That being said, our allocations for the knockout games have either run close to, or been over, what we had back in 2019 before the stadium capacities were reduced

We know some of you may have missed out on tickets to certain games, and we are sorry that we could not accommodate everyone, but trust us, we would have done so if we could

To those of you who are attending today, whatever the result, enjoy the occasion. You will play an important role during the match and we know that you will create a special atmosphere, just as you do at every game, home and away.

Lastly, we wanted to thank those of you who have taken the time to thank us either in person, via email or on the forums. It does not go unnoticed and every member of the team is grateful for the kind words.

Come on England!!!

Let’s be patient and positive

For those of us lucky enough to be at Wembley tonight let’s be positive and patient in our support. The last two matches in block 507 I’ve been unfortunate enough to be in front of people who are not happy from the first to the last whistle.

Southgate has got everything call right, yes it was a hard watch at times in the group games but we won, we have got better as the tournament has progressed and are in a final. So let’s be patient and support the team in a positive way, no booing, no saying this is ***, no calling for Grealish from the 5th minute, and when he does come on say his overrated. (Yes someone actually said that).

If you can’t go to a Euros final and support the team in a positive way, you might as well stay at home.

COME ON ENGLAND! IT’S COMING HOME!

UEFA selling duplicate tickets

64350461 — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 02:48:24 GMT

Hi there,

Bit of an odd one but I was at the England/Denmark match with my dad and had bought the tickets through UEFA's ticket portal and 2 men said we were in their seats. Upon checking ours and theirs we had exactly the same ticket but in different names (they'd bought the tickets on the portal too) . We showed the steward who didn't have a clue what had happened but it ended up we had to share 2 seats between all 4 of us.

Around 5 minutes later the same thing happened again to 3 people sat next to us and another 2 people claiming they were in their seats but all had duplicate tickets and all bought from UEFA's ticket portal.

I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else as it's annoying that we all paid the full price and UEFA have sold the tickets twice over?

Many thanks in advance

Phase 3 Tickets

Everyone get one who wanted one...or did anyone miss out as there were around 250 tickets short ..?

Category 3 restricted view tickets @ €225

59505397 — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 18:44:04 GMT

Does anybody know where the restricted view seats are at Wembley? I’m guessing they are lower tier, tucked in under the roof of the lower tier at the back - maybe because you can’t see the ball go too high or similar? I can’t think of anywhere else in Wembley where there is a restricted view.

Reason I ask, if it guarantees me lower tier, I’ll pay the extra 140€ for a ticket over a fans first gamble for row 32 in the upper tier.

Cheers

8000 out of 60,000 ???

Transfer of Ticket due being unable to attend

55136468 — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 18:17:42 GMT

As Lead operator I applied and received tickets for the three group games. I have transferred the tickets to my colleagues and kept a ticket for each game as the remaining ticket is not transferrable.

Unfortunately one our colleagues is unable to attend on Sunday so does anyone know if he can then transfer to a fiend or family who has an Eufa ID or England Fan membership.

I have looked at my mobile app but naturally cannot transfer again but assume he can transfer to someone who is registered with a recognised e-mail address

Rome Qtr final

58179103 — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 08:14:59 GMT

I know I am getting ahead of myself but....

I have tickets for Rome through UEFA sale, I am sure many of us have.

Does anyone think we have any chance of actually getting there ? (5 days quarantine when landing and 10/5 days when home). I cannot see a bubble flight like the CL final, although that would be perfect.

Not sure what options we have other than desperately trying to find a buyer in Rome for them!

Mask or no mask

55027081 — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:46:45 GMT

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??

A long shot

58725442 — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 06:20:34 GMT

As above really but needing 1 spare for Friday

If anyone can’t make it or is part of a group and someone within it can’t I’ll happily take any spares

The ticket rigmarole is too long a story but any help would be appreciated and worth many drinks in Andorra / San Marino wherever

Cheers in advance for any help at all

Rearranged Dublin second round game

Anyone know when UEFA will sell the second round tickets for the Dublin game rearranged for Wembley.

I had tickets, now refunded and want to purchase for Wembley.

Thanks

A Message to our Fans

A Message to our Fans

Our England senior men’s team will today begin their EURO 2020 campaign at our home, Wembley Stadium.

Major tournaments don’t come around often and when they do, it’s an opportunity to unite friends, families and the country. This collective support is what spurs our team on during challenging moments and it gives them the best chance of succeeding.

As the team has reiterated many times, they will collectively take the knee ahead of their fixtures during the tournament.

They are doing this as a mechanism of peacefully protesting against discrimination, injustice, and inequality. This is personally important to the players and the values the team collectively represents.

This gesture of unity and fighting against inequality can be traced back as far as the 18th century. It is not new, and English football has made it very clear that it does not view this as being aligned to a political organisation or ideology. There can be no doubt as to why the players are taking the knee and what it represents in a footballing context.

We encourage those who oppose these values to reflect on the message you are sending to the players you are supporting.

Please respect their wishes and remember that we should all be united in the fight to tackle discrimination. Together.

If you or any of your friends or family do see, hear or experience any behaviour you feel to be inappropriate, anti-social, abusive, racist, homophobic or discriminatory whilst at the game, just know that we are here to listen and to support you in any way we can. All you need to do to report any incident like this is drop us an email to englandsupportersclub@thefa.com and a member of the team will talk you through what can happen next.

Practical response to booing

56931960 — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:21:35 GMT

Other posts have already debated the merits of taking the knee, and of booing players taking the knee. This post is not intended to repeat those discussions.

Myself and my party will be cheering the England players as they take the knee on Sunday, in support of both the players and the intention to promote equality and fight discrimination. I would invite anyone else who feels similarly to join us in cheering.

I won’t be responding to any replies to this post.
