    England under 21s (ie young players), thousands of tickets given to children and what music doea the club play? Thats right songs from the 60s. Thatll entertain them and encourage them to come back.

    Last nights match was good but sadly the club was found lacking in MANY areas. Ticketing, traffic management, merchandise sales, refreshment sales, pre match/halft time entertainment. If they could get it wrong they did.

    Quite possibly all, perhaps barring ticketing and "entertainment" are nowt to do with the club.

    Merchandise sales is I assume because it was the last time we hosted an international (i'm talking about the fact that I couldnt find ANYONE inside the stadium selling programmes) I assume the entertainment is to do with the club too because only BFC would use carnival de paris as entrance music for england (genius) and have a man shouting 'this is a message a message. yankee foxtrot zulu india india india foxtrot foxtrot tango' like a mad man.

    The refreshment stands were the clubs usual ones who are operated on the clubs behalf under contract from the club.

    And the clubs staff were the ones saying seats were full (they werent) and telling everyone to go to the north stand when turnstyle operators in the east and ponty stands were sat doing nowt.

    No it wasnt. THe same team that handled the merchandise were at Wembley tonight.

    The clubs staff were working under the direction of The FA. (Who effectively ran the game I believe)

    I believe you are incorrect in your assesment. The FA had a hand in most things Im led to believe.

    The message I heard was "go to North Stand if you are paying cash" - obviously other turnstyles were not set up to take cash
