Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:12:35 Of Course I've ripped this off the OS however shame its on a Tuesday night as could have the potential to get quite a few down here for this.
Good opposition as well and could definitely make for a good game. For the sake of 3 quid think I'll go........ Title: England Under 19's Post by: yeo on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:14:26 I dont like going of the OS it takes to many clicks :|
So when and who :D Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:16:03 5th February and its V Croatia.
5th is a Tuesday and 3 squid a ticket in advance. Title: England Under 19's Post by: yeo on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:19:45 ta
I might go if I remember Title: England Under 19's Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:25:41 Its always good to see if there is young talent coming through.....I watched a similar side on the box v Argentina a while back....all the England players were at Prem clubs, but had to not be first team regulars to get picked.
In the England side were Sean O'Hanlon (Everton) and Brian Howard (Soton). England got beat 8-0. Total gulf in class. England age sides nowadays seem to consist mainly of athletes. It could be good watching the Croats though, as the old Yugo and the current indy states have produced some excellent players. Title: England Under 19's Post by: fatbury on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 18:43:16 should be good ... might be some Arsenal kids in there (dont all laugh - Arsenal do have English players!) .. Henri Lansbury plays for them im sure

Title: England Under 19's Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 21:34:24 I think that James Henry played against us at Bournemouth.
Might go down and watch. Title: England Under 19's Post by: Nemo on Thursday, January 3, 2008, 23:05:33 50p in groups of 15+? I'll buy 15 tickets and hand them out.
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 12:58:53 *BUMP*
Just got our tickets for this and they are predicting at least 11,500 people there and are using the TE as over flow. The Kingswood is already sold out, should be a good one. I love the tat the club shop are selling :D Title: England Under 19's Post by: Panda Paws on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:43:33 I presume you can pay on the day??
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:46:32 Yeah its a fiver mate.
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:47:11 I ended up buying 30 tickets, and now own the entire front row of the Arkells by the look it. Should be good.
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:49:45 Have you actually got people to fill it! :soapy tit wank:
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:50:04 Just a note, it's a 7pm kick off, I expect that will catch people out. Look for the large amount of people coming in at half time looking confused.
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 13:52:51 The club shop... selling tat (probably left over from the world cup!!)...never
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 14:04:18 Quote from: "STFCLady" Have you actually got people to fill it! :soapy tit wank: To be honest, I haven't a clue. I've emailed about 50 people, so I may well turn up and find its just me, but there you go. Title: England Under 19's Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 15:55:50 Just a warning :
Due to resurfacing work on County Road, they have closed southbound traffic between the Transfer Bridges and Manchester Road. Avoid if at all possible !!! Title: England Under 19's Post by: swindon-chap on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 16:03:16 Is the Town End open and how many seats are left there anyone know?? :?
Title: England Under 19's Post by: axs on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 21:21:23 that was quite good fun, lots of young 'uns showing off their skills and lots of pace up front. England won 2-0 btw.
getting a burger at half time was fun. Only 10,000 other people trying to do the same thing. Fortunately I managed to get served whilst still 3 rows from the front - one benefit of being ginger and standing out in a crowd :D Title: England Under 19's Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 21:51:03 Pretty good match. The gulf between us and them obviously is massive. I would love to see that kind of football every week at the CG. The only annoying thing about internationals is kids with those stupid horns!
Title: England Under 19's Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, February 6, 2008, 16:36:38 over 11,000 for that game last night :shock:

Title: England Under 19's Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, February 6, 2008, 17:42:41 aye but if you're a neutral, wouldn't you rather watch england u19's rather than a mixture of league one reserves?
i know what you're saying though. hopefully some of them will be sufficiently impressed with the facilities, atmosphere and 'event' to return for a town game. Title: England Under 19's Post by: Luci on Wednesday, February 6, 2008, 19:21:27 Some good talent on show there. Impressed.
Only thing is that being quite young and inexperienced, they all like to try and pull off runs and shoot for goal themselves like the young Wayne Rooney would have done before he grew up a bit. Fair play to them however for putting themselves in the spotlight. They actually spent 90 mins with their foot on the pedal, if only the first 11 could keep that up. |
