FA Lowers Ticket Prices, Now It’s Your Move

July 21st, 2010 | by: Matilda |

wembley There are a lot of questions surrounding the England camp, the most important obviously being who’s in the team. Capello’s next move will be very interesting, in terms of just how much rebuilding he does. Well Capello’s next move is scheduled for August 11th, at Wembley Stadium against Hungary in the form of an international friendly. As much as I was appalled by the England team during the World Cup, and as much as I feel sorry for the people who spent money to watch that, I would quite like to go to this friendly. And at the reduced ticket prices, if there weren’t the pesky Atlantic Ocean to deal with, I would be going. The FA announced today that it is lowering the ticket prices, apparently to say sorry after South Africa.

You can now get a family ticket (for 2 adults, 2 children) for £60. In the family enclosure (wouldn’t want them getting out now) tickets will be £20 for adults and £10 for children. For those of you who have never purchased tickets to a football game, that’s incredibly cheap. That’s cheaper even than going to Bolton. The FA really is very very sorry. And by that I mean, they’re very very worried about their attendance figures. Being a Bolton fan, I know that there is very little that’s sadder than a sea of empty seats.

While we haven’t all forgiven England for taking our hearts, tearing them out, and crushing them into the dirt, this is a very important game in that it will set the tone for our qualifying campaign. Capello and co. will obviously want to get the bad taste of South Africa 2010 out of their mouths, and the way to do it is to put out an impressive showing. This is the last match before the qualifiers start, if Capello wants to do any experimenting, this is his chance. This is the beginning of letting go of that performance. Whatever Capello’s direction for the next two years is going to be, it starts 21 days from now.

Before I go to any England match, I want to see whats on offer first. I'd rather spend my cash at Withdean and watch Brighton battle for Promotion or fight for survival like we do every season but that's not what the post is about.
Do I really care about England after that fiasco. Yes deep down I do care, and its very tempting at the reduced pricing. But even getting there is going to cost another tidy wad before eats and watering for 5 of us.
What can we expect if we do go, another poor performance, another footballing lesson. Can't do it to myself or the kids.
So what would I want to see to gain my trust and faith back. Simple, a good performance from all the players win or lose, that die for the shirt that is long missing from our National game.
So team selection must mean some immediate changes. Out would go Heskey, Terry , A.Cole, James, Carragher, Johnson and Gerrard for starters. Question marks on Lennon, Upson and Barry.
We must rebuild the team, give Hart a run and Baines, look for a new Right Back stick Dawson and Ferdi in there, give Crouch and Defoe a run with SWP, Lampard, J.Cole and Milner with options to change if we need.
I don't mind if we get beat provided we given our all.
What do ya all think..

Well, even if they play badly I'd imagine they'd beat a poor Hungary side which failed to make the World Cup.

But your overall sentiment – about a need for some good performances for trust to be re-built – I'd endorse completely.

In general, ticket prices going down has to be a good thing, but I still think they're too high: inflated ticket prices only perpetuate inflated wages.

Compared to here, it's still heavily overpriced, but they've gotta refinance Wembley, too. And the supporters in England are a whole lot more passible, financially.
