Like many others, biggest UEFA team I’ve not seen us play. Thank goodness that has been explained thought I was losing my marbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ok let me make my point in a more straightforward way to satisfy the pedants. Other than Greece (and even that’s debatable) the most boring European Champions ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonny78 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Euro04 was great. France v England 2 late goals was sooo funny. Beckham s penalty in orbit v Portugal. Some awright games and our greek friends winning instead of some big gun.. Gives us all hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Albania consider their greatest victory ever to be against Greece in the latter's first game as European Champions. It was a WC 2006 qualifier in Tirana - Albania 2 Greece 1. I'm reliably informed by locals who were present that the party was only called off after a week. There's a certain parallel............

N4Footsoldier Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 On 15/03/2018 at 4:41 PM, drew said: Why should they chuck the season tickets? If you know you can make all the games then it makes it easier to book as one bundle. Not keen on them including friendlies as I can't guarantee I can make them but they could make 2 different packages including and excluding the friendlies. The idea of a season ticket is to add value to the regular attendee rather than (from memory) last time they did it not actually represent any discernible savings. That and if you get stuck near an absolute weapon you know you can't move next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Croatia have announced a match v Jordan for November, so that leaves Portugal and us as the only two UEFA teams without a game, so it's either them or a non-UEFA team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like none of the South American teams have arranged friendlies, nor have most of the North American or Asian teams. We'll probably end up playing the USA or Australia.

Also given A LOT of fans will have booked for Israel, it will be unfair to spring up an away game at this late stage when everyone is already booked to come home from Tel Aviv.

Just checked UEFA kick off times for Sunday’s, 2pm, 5pm and 7:45pm, from those 3 I would say 7:45pm is the most likely one, but suppose what TV companies offer in terms of a deal.
