Blades land England U21 game

[silverfox]

A friendly against the Czech Republic has been pencilled in for November 18 with England hoping to be celebrating qualification for the European Championships after the upcoming play-off with Wales.

"I’m very much looking forward to taking the Under-21s to Bramall Lane," Pearce told the Football Association website.

"It’s a club and a city with a fantastic football history and I’m sure the fans will turn out to see England.

"The Play-Offs against Wales will be tough matches but we are determined to qualify for the Championship and the Czech Republic game is intended as the first step towards preparing the squad for the Finals."

Ah... let them experience what it's like in a nice, modern ground for a change

 

[SotonBlade]

LOL, i hope the band is still banned from Bramall Lane though!

 

[S64 Blade]

Good news. It's been a long time coming!

 

[matth]

Got my ticket on Saturday; last time I saw England U21s was at the Sty. This will be a much more pleasant affair.

The nice chap in the ticket office even said we could change our seats to the Kop if and when it goes on sale. Fingers crossed!

 

[SRBlade]

LOL, i hope the band is still banned from Bramall Lane though!

Did you hear that joke of a band on saturday?!

FFS, it was like listening to balamory!

Everytime walcott touched the ball, without fail, they would harp the "der der der der, theo walcott" tune, of which no one sang along.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure they are not even allowed into the sty!

 

[Linz]

I'd be looking to get them Thursday/Friday next week so if I can know by then, that'd be wonderful

I think we worked out at the pub last night that we'd got enough people for the discount, so as long as they all come through, it's half price tickets for all

No, I didn't get chance really towards the end of last week with feeling poorly but no one has been forthcoming with the cash either.

If people get the cash to me by a week on Saturday (Reading Home) then I can sort the tickets. Unless I get 15 confirmed though, the tickets will be full price. I can still sort them for people, but there won't be the discount.

 

[Sensiblade]

Just asked a mate at work so tickets for me will be Me +1
