Title: England v France ticket available
Post by: Longines on November 16, 2015, 06:14:35 PM
I'm going to the game tomorrow night with my 16yo son and have a spare ticket that is going to go to waste. 20 rows from the front near half way.

First PM takes it, will obviously need to meet you at the gate. Twenty quid for medicine sans frontires would be a nice gesture if you can.

Cheers,
Grant

did you enjoy the night?

was the atmosphere as special as it seemed from watching on the tv?

thought the whole pre-game was impeccably done

It was very special indeed. From the singing on the tube to the view of the stadium as we approached. Inside we were sat underneath and just to the side of the main away contingent, but there were loads of French supporters in our section too - I understand there were a lot of tickets sold since the weekend and the demographic reflected that - it felt more like a rugby crowd than football.

The anthem was stunning, the minutes silence was almost eerie with 70,000+ in total silence. The sound of the helicopters was actually quite intrusive during that minute and I was getting annoyed that the didn't think to retreat to a suitable distance - and then realised that this in part is the price we have to pay.

The FA deserve credit - the whole pre-game process was handled perfectly.
