England Under 21's vs Sweden Under 21's

Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:33 pm

Next Tuesday at the Banks's.

Sorry if in wrong section.

Just reading about the full Eng squad for Brazil game and Wilfried Zaha, Raheem Sterling and Jonjo Shelvey all not included, but will be in U21 squad. Looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about Zaha and Sterling especially.

When it was first announced I thought we were on our way to our first sell out in years, but looking at the online tickets they are only selling the F2G Lower and the family stand. With 4 days until the match it is looking like another poor attendance at the Banks's

The Upper is open too.

Before our game vs Oldham, 6000 tickets had been sold. There will be a fair few pay on the day i'd think?

Some of those names may well be called up given the injuries. I think Zaha and Sterling both have chances of being named as replacements.

Dived in with Ken Barlow and we are in the upper tier, Nu5, for a tenner I thought I might as well pop over after work. Should be all right!

Spoke to Dan Mole, this afternoon, and he said that it was a sell-out. However, the crowd will only be just above 9000 paying spectators because the FA insist on a large block of tickets for guests, sponsors and complimentaries. The game is live on ESPN and ESPN HD if you don't have a ticket (6.00 am onwards, New Zealand time! :shock:).

I have to say that looking at ESPN, it does not look anywhere near 9,000.

I know the club announced it was a sellout but looks like fair few rows in different blocks especially the away end are empty.

Doesn't look like 9,000 but glad of any extra income for the club really.

Attendance 9,758. It did not look it at first, but the Tile Choice Upper looked pretty full as well as the most of the Family Stand.

Do we get a % of the receipts or a flat fee to stage the game? What's in it for us except the food sales?

If it was "Sold out" why are there patches of seats?

Am they gonna pay for the pitch :lol:

Judging by what i saw last night watching the game, the future of Swedish football is bleak.
