The Euros

Will be some buzz if we manage to go all the way after the past year we’ve had, you never know 🤞
Errrh every other countries had the same year. Actually no they haven’t, we’ve a higher death rate than anywhere in mainland Europe. Letting fans travel from abroad will have us locked down again just in time for next season.

Which is why it won’t happen like that. UEFA just want bums on seats and the ££££ that goes with it, more chance of them achieving that here than anywhere else with the Exception of Russia. It’ll be a Brits only tournament, dare i say Swiss delegates would find a way to get the big games though.
 
All restrictions on social contact lifted June 21st, if that moves forward by 2 weeks (or 10 days to be precise) then we are laughing

Ah right didn’t realise they could move it.

It’s a huge ask to have spectators in stadiums for this the timescale is too short for full houses.

To organise it in 8 weeks is a big ask.

Plus the bloke who tweeted it might be full of shit.

I’ve suspected for quite a while it’ll be a one nation tournament, the idea of a tournament as north as Saint Petersburg, as east as Baku and west as Dublin was never going to be a goer in the current climate. Russia even now despite few vaccinations have indoor and outdoor sport at 50% of capacity, I always suspected Great Britain/England or them would get the full thing.

That’s disappointing to hear as I’ve a ticket for Russia v Finland and was hoping I still had a slim chance of going.

I still think they should move the tournament to 2024

Didn’t say anywhere in my post that we’ve had it any worse, just said it would be a great feeling after the year we’ve had. Like it would be for most competing 👍
 
If it means tens of thousands of Europeans travelling here then I'd rather not host it, regardless of the potential boost to economy.

The risks would far outweigh any financial boost. However if this was not the case then fantastic let's get it hosted.
I think the problems of the EU's vaccination programme has been vastly distorted in the Tory press. Things will be really ramping up there on the continent in the next week or two. Vaccine passport/certificate... job's a good'un.

Are there likely to be fans allowed in the grounds ?
21st June it’s back to normality (apparently) England vs Czech Republic 22nd June
