This Charming Man

I was stood a couple of rows behind him. True story.

If you were to get there at 12.10am you'd have to wait around a while for the pubs to re-open. I'll be there, I'll be sh*tfaced and hopefully I won't have to spend ages trying to claim I'm not to drunk to enter the stadium like last time.

We're driving up, where is best to park and get a beer? (I'm not driving so I'll be getting sh*tfaced).

Why hasn't that affected any other clubs then? Derby get 30,000 a week, Norwich is sold out every week without fail and even QPR manage 14,000 with their silly prices. There are no excuses for our terrible attendances at the moment.

Well this 'reserve' team play better football than we did last year, have more passion in their little fingers than the team last year and are willing to get stuck in. The stay-aways are the muppets in my eyes, though you'll come running back when a 'big match' pops up.

Seeing as many of the TSF gimps will now be heading there I would normally give this place a miss but may have to pop in and work my way through the food menu quickly.

I think it's pretty disgusting you could have the audacity to ask people to pay for your holiday. You're paying £200 for a holiday that costs £1500! If you were to pay for the holiday yourself then raise the money for charity after then fair play to you. As for the fundraising events - most people work to afford holidays, not mis-lead people into thinking they're donating to charity.

As stated above - join EnglandFans +. If you were to do it now, you could still probably get a ticket for Belarus (though would cost a bomb in getting there now) and Germany. There are rumours doing the rounds of either Belgium or Italy away in Feb as well.

I can't be arsed to read through this thread but what a night that was. Cracking atmosphere from both sets of fans. The nearer the game got the more hostile the Croats got in the city centre, it's what football should be about - hardly any women or kids, all lads on the lash. Our tram ride to the ground was slightly eventful to say the least... As for the game, for me it's up there as being one of the best games I've ever attended as a football fan - only the Cup Semi Final and beating the Skates come above that. When the 3rd went in, our end went mental, I thought I was going to pass out I celebrated so hard. The walk back from the ground into the city centre was a laugh, with bar loads of Croats chanting IRA songs - we kept our mouths shut and heads down and we were fine. I was in a group of about 30 all day and we were fine, though heard people in smaller groups were attacked. The only time we had any trouble was on the tram when our group got split. All in all, what a week - a week long bender across Europe starting in Barca and taking in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Germany plus 6 points - role on Belarus and Germany.

Keep an eye on the England Fans forum, as someone mentioned above, I think Andrea Silk will be trying to get tickets for non + members, though seeing as all 7,000 that applied got a ticket, I'd imagine there will be tickets available from touts out there.

I'm going, all day on the lash in Sheffield... can't wait.

Full Metal Jacket is one of my favourite films of all time, it's a classic and anybody who doesn't like it is an idiot, apart from thesaintfc - he's a c*nt.

He joined me up the back of the Northam for the 2nd half for a quick bundle and a disco. He only came to witness the fitness that is our sexeh football.

Editors were pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of them but I've seen them live 4 times now and they're a good live band. R.E.M were brilliant, sounded good, involved the crowd quite a bit and a very good set list, a nice mix of old and new plus all the classics.

Looks like I will need to have a shave, young adult ticket here I come.

I'm going, think I'm going to be there to late to catch the Editors though.

I have tickets for both nights at the BIC.

It was only a matter of time untill the AIDS took it's toll on him. Rot in hell you f*cking c*nt!

Last I saw of Patterson, he was having a bit of a bowl against the South Africans in Leeds.

We'll start off well, waste a few decent chances then Brum will take over the game, knock the ball around as if we're not there and stroll to an easy 2-0 win. Phillips will also score and celebrate infront of the Northam, despite the fact that he's going to score up the Chapel end. That ladies and gentleman is a fact.

If they are really that bothered about creating a matchday atmosphere, the clueless w*nkers wouldn't have shut down one of the noisest parts of the ground. A bit of music when the teams come out doesn't count as an "atmosphere". What a load of rubbish.

I actually lol'd at that post. I could stand there and wave my arms around, doesn't mean I know what I'm doing. What a ridiculous thing to say.

According to an application on my Facebook I've done 49 grounds - home and abroad. I can't be arsed to list them all though.

Park in the city centre, took me 20mins to walk back into the centre after the game last year.
