our group...all long-standing members had 15 tickets between them for the three England group games at Euro 2020. Wembley reduced to 25,000 from 96,000. Tickets cancelled. Refunds given (short-changed of course) after waiting over two years with our money in their bank. We knew what would come in the new ballot....would we get pro-rata and 4 tickets....or as we thought the "football family" (mates of the FA) get to steal them all as usual? Of course we got one ticket of the 15. Who really wants to go alone and sit in a near empty stadium in a mask? Liars, thieves and wankers....had it from them since 1982 when it was the "England supporters club". 2,500 allocation for the 1990 world cup semi.....useless.

Can’t think why anyone would shell out 100 quid plus to sit in a third full stadium watching England to be honest but each to their own I suppose.

Because 2 and a half years ago when we bought them there was no covid. Eng v Scotland? Come on. I would go to Gaza right now to watch England dick them. We also have tickets for all the later rounds and final.

Imagine that with England....in obscure countries with all the excitement that would bring. Seen England play in nearly 60 countries.

Seen England play in nearly 60 countries. Never got the “England thing” - lived in Wembley for 3 yrs and went to 2 matches! Just couldn’t relate to it at all.............and having been tear gassed in a Benidorm club years ago I never fancied repeating it regularly following England abroad either - particularly as their was an air of expectancy never matched by results or performances.

We've got England Vs Croatia which is less than a month away (and 9 days before your game) and we still haven't heard anything yet. Not having a go at you, by the way, just the not knowing of it all.

I've lost out on all three group games due to the reduction in tickets by 75%.

I wouldn’t call the FA liars and cheats, more like: arrogant, full of hubris, lazy and incompetent.

It’s ridiculous isn’t it? Understand it’s unprecedented times but they’ve had months to plan I feel exactly the same way. Surely the decisions have now been made regarding the number of fans allowed in, so why can't they now let people know whether they've got tickets or not. We've wondered about travelling by train but we obviously can't do anything until we know for certain. 4 weeks tomorrow is supposed to be our first game.

Oti starts a thread about being pissed off with something.
Thread morphs into it being about Oti's Jetset lifestyle.
