There’s some strange segregation at the games, pockets of supporters surrounded by the opposition
Some of those supporters look like they’ve been paid to turn out <laugh> <laugh>
There's been complaints about it, it seems fans, particularly on resale have been able to buy tickets anywhere in the stadium, including in opposition sections. The solid blocks are generally where the FAs have their official tickets and have managed to resell only to their "accredited" fans (think tartan army or the England supporters club). But the bits that aren't their official tickets can be bought by anyone and sold on. There's worries about what could happen later if it pitched 2 counties who don't like each other together.

There's also some rumours that some American/visiting/tourist fans are being given complimentary t shirts in the nations colours to "show support" and make it look like there's more fans there than there actually are. Don't know if that bit's true though.

Enjoyed that second half. Will have to catch up on the Brian goals before the next match starts.

Hope Somerville is ok. That looked nasty.
