cidercity1987 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Last few matches, England v Netherlands at Norwich, 16k England v Andorra at Chesterfield, 7k England v Ukraine at Bramall Lane, 21k England v Romania at Wolves 15k England v Scotland at Middlesbrough 20k England v Latvia at Bournemouth 8k England v Italy at Southampton 11k Most of those were competitive fixtures, not a friendly like the game next week so it'd be great if we top the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Goalkeepers: Freddie Woodman, Angus Gunn, Dean Henderson. Defenders: Jake Clarke-Salter, Jay Dasilva, Dael Fry, Lloyd Kelly, Jonjoe Kenny, Ezri Konsa, Fikayo Tomori, Kyle Walker-Peters, Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Midfielders: Harvey Barnes, Hamza Choudhury, Tom Davies, Kieran Dowell, Phil Foden, James Maddison, Ryan Sessegnon. Forwards: Tammy Abraham, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Demarai Gray, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ademola Lookman, Reiss Nelson, Dominic Solanke. It's a very good squad. Quite a bit of Premier League and top Championship experience in there, plus Nelson who has tons of minutes in the Bundesliga this season. Fantastic chance to see some of England's future at AG.

When you consider that youngsters such as Jadon Sancho, Alexander-Arnold, Rice and Rashford are all 21 or younger, we really do have some fantastic players for the future.

Are many Gasheads Polish then? Imagine land prices and development costs are much cheaper over there than here in the UK... Perhaps the Gas might consider relocating to Gdansk or somewhere else in the Baltics.? A nice modern steel stadium (bit dearer now though thanks to Lech Walesa and unionisation, but still cheap in comparison) The weather in winter will ensure that the true blues remain true blue through and through.... It'll be perfect for them, Gdansk Rovers has a nice ring to it... They're still potless at the moment though, no matter how cheaply the move might be....

Back Row: Sturridge, Jones, Rodwell, FIELDING, Mancienne, Henderson, Obama Front Row: Walker, Rose, Cleverley, Moses Victor Moses is an interesting character. Though a regular for England from U16-U21 levels he opted to play for Nigeria at full level. He'd previously fled Nigeria as an 11 year old after both his parents - his father was a Christian pastor - were killed in religious riots when rioters invaded their home and slaughtered them. Moses only survived because he was out of the house playing street football. After being hidden by friends for a week other relatives paid for him to travel to England to claim asylum. He was placed with a family in South London and went to a school just streets from Selhurst Park where he was quickly spotted by Crystal Palace. Quite a story, with perhaps an unlikely ending that he'd opt to play for Nigeria after the murderous events that forced his departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Miggins Pie Shop Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 In the 2010 U21s 2-1 win over Uzbekistan, the MOM from this line up was apparently Jack Rodwell, with the full England manager Fabio Capello watching on from the stands. Rodwell’s careered has since drifted, compared to others from the 2010 team, most of whom have gone on to feature as regulars in the full squad. I wonder who, from Thursday’s line up, will do the same. Southgate you’d imagine would want to be in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I presume that the FA just 'rent' the stadium for the night and have agreed to a pricing structure that allows City to discount tickets for season ticket holders. Quite a few FEWERS aren't going because they don't want to give any cash to 'they gurt Teds' but, if they just buy a ticket and don't spend anything at the stadium, they wouldn't be.

He's actually quite looking forward to seeing the stadium. I'm looking forward to seeing how depressed he is on Friday after he realises how far behind us they really are off the pitch (and on it in a non-footballing Desso v Mud Bath sense). Anyway, for me it'll be nice to not have to worry about the result for a change, and find out whether I can actually see anything from 15 rows back in the Upper Lansdown. That's assuming I can both work out how to get up there and be fit enough to do it. Come on England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very family-friendly occasion with family-friendly prices, but on a weekday school night. Rules a lot of us out. One night will hardly damage a school career... When I look back to '72 I honestly cant remember one days exam revision but I do remember the night Ashton Gate hosted England vs East Germany under 23's … the Germans won 1 -0 in front of a 20,000 crowd. Future England stars that night included, K Keegan, F Lampard, M McDonald, Mick Channon, ex Gas Liverpools Larry Lloyd, etc.. Like I said, cant remember suffering from lack of a nights school revision but can well remember going to The Gate that night in 1972 and exchanging waves with the East Germans as their coach went past us in Bedminster after the game on their way back to behind the 'Iron Curtain' . Remember feeling so sorry for them and their lack of freedom compared to us in the West despite them being first class athletes. So I say C Red if you and anyone else wishing to go can get tickets, sod school, don't let that deny the kids a possible lifetime memory, it wont harm 'em, will it?

Do we know this for sure? Perhaps @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO can answer? Hi Phil, you should still be able to purchase 4 seats together as the upper tier of the Lansdown is open. https://tickets.bristol-sport.co.uk/en-GB/events/an england under-21 international - england v poland/2019-3-21_19.45/ashton gate stadium?hallmap Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Parsons Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I believe it's over 20k at the moment and they hope it will hit at least 22k by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gone and done it now. This will no doubt be reported on AssHat, and tomorrow night hordes of dishevelled, unwashed from North Bristol will descend upon our car park to watch the game for free on the stream.

cidered abroad Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm looking forward to this game with real anticipation of seeing some very good quality on the pitch. I last saw an under 21 or maybe u23 back in 1996 ? ,when Buffon was in the Italian goal. Whatever happened to him? And with Lloyd, Tammy, and Jay in the squad plenty of local interest.
