I remember during the last lot of England games - there was a fat riot in Croydon!!

Hopefully it'll be more lager induced shenanigans this time!!

yup, got my tickets, I'll be in the east stand second tier row 5, look out for me should be a cracker, tickets still on sale for the Azerbijan match at newcastle but only the best seats available at £40. I aint paying that to watch a cr@p match, least against N.Ireland there should be some passion in the game.

Funniest thing I've seen was a few years back during an England game we were watching in the pub - massive projection tv!!

Mcmanaman executed one of his trademark ****-ups, everyone groans, geezer behind me calmly stands up.....picks up his newly opened packet of dry roasted peanuts.....throws them straight at the screen whilst screaming:

"You useless, floppy-haired, scouse c*nt"

Whole pub fell about in stitches and basically started throwing whatever bar snacks were to hand at each other!!

10:30 u should hit manc centre for 12 then

to be honest I dont know the name or the address, think its on Brindley Road. We come into manchester via the A62 (from Oldham) then you hit the T junction (great ancoats street) turn right. follow the road (not long) and turn left down Deansgate (A56) basically follow this road all the way, should pass over the A57(m) should see the ground in front of you follow the duel carriage way and there is plenty of MASSIVE signs to the left of the road saying match day secure parking £5 we just pull in there, really easy to get too...
