Curses. Same night as England v Denmark so I know quite a few will be missing the game.

Crowd likely to be reduced clashing with England

The Denmark match is only a friendly, and it's on ITV so people can simply record it or watch the highlights. It's not going to be a massive incentive to stay at home.

Not interested in Premier League either. Overpaid prima donna's. Too many foreign players hence Englands decline, its not rocket science.

Not sure how you work that one out if you look at tournament finishes and yearly rankings since 1966.

Yet or English through and through but won’t support the English national team in there greatest spell since 1996. :?

Did I say I do not support them NO , just given the choice would sooner watch MTFC than them.

Its akin to prem fans sat in pubs watching games in prem team shirts but would need sat nav to get to Old Trafford, Anfield or wherever because they never go to any football games.

Another season ticket holder here who will be at Wembley.
England ticket purchased 3 months ago.
Lower league supporters always seem to suffer these fixture clashes with England games.
I'm sure there will be Swindon supporters also in attendance at Wembley, who will be disappointed with the rearranged date.

I used to attend all home England games I could get to. After the Iceland game I’ve been very ambivalent towards them.

Genuinely get more pleasure watching the England rugby team

Genuine question Belly. Why is rugby union so kick orientated. I don’t seem to see as many tries as I used to years ago. It seems to be penalty after penalty. I’m no expert, so the question is, has anything changed in the rules or are the players not quite as good? I’ve just found some England games dull to watch (v the all blacks aside). Maybe there isn’t enough great teams. Could be just me.
