One of, if not, the biggest sporting event of 2021 and it's here in England

Stadia announced this morning and some big, iconic sporting vvenues being utilised in what should be a fantastic tournament. Tickets priced very sensibly too ranging from £20 - £275 for adults, with over 60% available at under £35, which in todays climate is very good indeed.

I was in Australia during the WC in 2017, and from what I could tell from the TV coverage and speaking to the locals, a stadium of 10000 capacity would be more than adequate for all the games bar the final which had the hosts in it, which was a 40000 crowd in a 52000 seat stadium. That said, I quite fancy some of this, will look out for who is playing in the London stadiums.

I assume you'll be getting Australia in the sweepstake?

I see Eastbourne has been ignored again.

We’re sport mad over here and with competitive pricing I think you will see some huge crowds and indeed some games will be oversubscribed.
