Hitting home tonight, just on the news now about Welsh fans in the bars of Baku, only 6,000 tickets out of the 30 odd thousand available have been sold apparently. Why bloody Baku?????
Personally - I think the whole thing is a farce, England gets to play their games at home, Italy the same what was platini trying to engineer here when he dreamt this one up.
IIRC England engineered the 66 WC so that they played all their games at Wemberley
Fixing tournaments is nothing new.
What an absolutely awful stadium for the fans. Had I not applied for a refund for my tickets I would have had to invest in a pair of binoculars.
Should have been only smaller countries with games but once covid should have just scrapped the idea
The reason for that is exactly the same as why the West Ham supporters had the same complaint.
Both places were designed and built intentionally for athletics with a running track. They were never intended for football. And we can see the result. (Or maybe can't!)
Its a stitch up
I hope England get leathered
Wasn't the idea that smaller nations get to host games because they'd not be able to host tournaments? So why do places like Rome and London get any games let alone the latter hosting the majority of the tournament?
Either switch it to England fully because of covid or do better at meeting the original aim. This fudge gives some sides such a huge advantage and most of them don't need it.
