I still think it's outrageous that they didn't move this game to Wembley. Would have stopped all these problems.
I'm at the match, also in the top deck 3rd row with a cat 3 ticket. Just saying i'd prefer to be lower down, even more so if i'd forked out for a cat 2... But each to their own, as you say we're lucky enough to be in the ground...
Different places make for a different experience but you can make the most of wherever you are. We've been lucky with club level cat2s and halfway line Cat 1s for a couple of games but personally I've always liked being behind the goal... against Germany, we were there in row 10, which was effectively row 5 (as the front five were covered over). It was great - one can always analyse the game from a tactical perspective in more detail when you get home!
Doesn't look great for England tomorrow, fans banned from the stadium, tickets cancelled and then this...
The atmosphere looked electric right behind the goal (below the BBC box). Everyone was jumping on those covers, donno how a few legs werent broken lol
It does seem an odd choice however unbiased they will be. Surely any country woudl have been better. Apart from France of course.
Great news for England - The German referee team will 100% love England for knocking Germany out. They've got a chance of getting the Final now. We are bound to get some friendly decisions.
So i am a germany guy that will be at the stadium in rome tomorrow - as I can say: also we germans don`t like brych. Just because he is a bad referee, not because he`s german. I guess this will be a plus for england - he is one of the kind "interrupting" the game very often - this might be a problem for the ukrains, cause they ar good at direct, fast counter attacks after getting the ball
I think there will be. im certain of it, whether we’ll see Cat 3, I don’t know but definitely higher bands.
