England v Wales

[Uncle Buck]

Tickets came through yesterday, train is booked, so looking forward to this one. Days drinking in Manchester, the outside chance that Cardiff will be put in their place and then a home international derby.

Anyone else going to this? If so how are you getting there?

 

[The Wookiee]

I will be there, catching 8:10 train from Kings X to Leeds. £19 return, bargain!!

I had to save some money somewhere after spending £125 on a match ticket!!

[Gwylan]

Fingers crossed, I've got a freebie ticket in one of the hospitality boxes.

It's with a Welsh company though.

Missed out on getting one through the official sources and had to use a ticket agency.

www.westminsterevents.co.uk

I have noticed the price has now gone up to £150!!

Thet are for north or south stand tickets which are the best tickets which the face value I think is £50.

I am sure touts will be selling them for at least £300 outside the ground!

Best not to admit using touts on here, somebody will go off on one....

 

[Beefy]

I'll be there.Driving up on the Friday and staying in a hotel close to Old Trafford for a couple of nights.Hope it's better than the last England game I went to (Macedonia)!

the outside chance that Cardiff will be put in their place

What's that all about?

I suspect that there are an awful lot of firms from lower league clubs out for a bit of pay back that day. You know the ones that have been to Ninian and been kicked all over the place. Round Piccadily could be interesting.

Still I am heading for some of haunts we know on Portland Street and the like and having a beer.

Aye aye, the wannabe hooligan strikes again......

You make me laugh, you really do. You regularly moan about Cardiff's hooligan following, and yet you also talk with pride about your hopes that 'Cardiff will be put in their place'. Make up your mind, you f***ing hypocrite.

Tell you what, if you really want to 'put Cardiff in their place', I'll point you in the direction of a couple of pubs that will be packed to the rafters with our resident nutcases when the Seagulls come to this fair city next February. How about that?

By the way, the Welsh FA have allocated Wales fans just 2,500 tickets for the England away game. The rest are going to sponsors. All of the tickets that are being made available to proper supporters are going to the people who regularly travel away with our national side, none of whom are 'lads'. So it looks like you and all of these ficticious 'lower league firms' you talk so proudly about will have to wait for another day to administer 'payback'.

 

[DannyBhoy]

see u in February!!!

 

[DannyBhoy]

Infact hope to see u in October or r u just a homer!!!

With regards to Cardiffs hooligan following, all I will relay is my previous trips to Ninian Park and the fact that on our last visit, your fans spent a good amount of time after the game trying to attack the Brighton fans. It was only the fact that they got baton charged up the road that meant people could get back to their cars etc. I know people go on that clubs have their element it is just Cardiff seem to have more than most and strangely that day fans in shirts trying to attack Brighton fans. Coupled with the fact it was one of the most racial atmospheres I have been in, with chants along the lines of 'Oh England is full of shit' and 'always shit on the English side of the bridge'. Now if we did something similar aimed at the Welsh, I am sure your fans would be screaming racism, but it was OK to do it us and Sam the Man was hardly doing anything to stop it. If your fans hate the English so much, why oh why do you play in the English league? (I know the answer to that one).

With regards to that game in Manchester, if the Soul Crew travel, I hope somebody gets to them and they are outnumbered and given a pasting, just like the bully boy tactics that they administer to fans at Ninian Park. However I hope your genuine fans have a good day, except between 3pm - 5pm.

Regarding next February, I have no intention of drinking in the Ninian Park or Prince of Wales or any of the other Soul Crew Pubs.

Also if the FAW have only given 2500 tickets to members, that is a joke as your allocation was over 6000.

didnt anwser the question bluebird!

The allocation was 6,500, and you're right, the distribution of those tickets IS an absolute joke. Only 2,500 tickets have gone on sale to Welsh fans.

The other 4,000 tickets have ALL been given to the 80 FAW committee members - each member got 50 tickets EACH to distribute how they see fit. Apparently these are supposed to be sold amongst grass root associations, sports clubs within their communities etc etc. But you can guarantee those tickets will find their way to friends and family members, corporate groups out for a jolly, and eventually the black market as well.

Absolute disgrace.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: England v Wales

Our hooligan problem: blah blah blah, same old stuff. Much of it correct, but much of it also outdated. The last time your lot came to Ninian Park was September 2001. Thankfully, plenty has changed since then and the place is much safer and far more comfortable for away fans. There has been no significant trouble either inside or outside Ninian Park for a couple of years now. I'm not pretending the problem has gone away, of course it hasn't, but things have improved significantly.

The Ninian Park and the Prince of Wales are Soul Crew pubs? Are you having a laugh? Lets' be honest, your information is hopeless. You'd better give me a shout if you are going to travel down in February, or you might accidentally end up in a REAL Soul Crew pub!

The Welsh tickets: the Welsh FA have been given 6,500. Of those, 4,000 are going to committee members and sponsors. There is uproar about it here. The 2,500 that are going to the real fans are only going to people on the FAW database who have previously travelled away - the applications are apparently being vetted to make sure those who deserve tickets the most get them. Rest assured, there will be no Soul Crew allocation.
