“U.S. could ask “foreign” tourists for five year Social Media history before entry”.
Do we take it World Cup fans will be vetted?
What do you think of your new-found Peace Prize winning pal now Mr Infantino?

Forum legend nile ranger was banned too, because
of his armed robbery connection. |

Where did he go?

By:
It was Newcastle pre season tour of USA.
I think the three banned ones went on tour with the reserves Maybe somewhere in Europe, but couldn't be sure of that bit. |

Advert breaks...
Fifa has announced that water breaks will be enforced during every game at next year’s World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada. The water breaks will last for three minutes and will be called by referees at the midway point of each half. |

America 2 world cups Mexico 3 world cups since England staged one

Heatstroke was a major issue last time the U.S. staged the W.C. ( I am led to believe ) but I can’t help but think this is crass device to a) increase advertising revenues, and, b) turn matches into four period affairs. Who knows? Hopefully it does benefit the players who are after all the most important feature of the event.

I think you are spot on.

Water breaks ... "and now a word from our sponsors."
It will end up with 15 minute water breaks. |

It should be like baseball: 9 ten-minute innings—one team attacks for 5 minutes and then the other.

Anyone who was thinking of going almost certainly won't now. When I posted about 6 months ago that this was coming and anyone who has posted a pic of an orange with a wig on wouldn't be allowed in I was derided. Why would anyone spend thousands on air fares ,tickets and hotels only to be turned round due to 1 post on instagram made 3 years ago?
I wouldn't be allowed in for this post! Welcome to fascist America everyone. |

It's like when they tell you there will be ticket checks
and added bag searches, but they don't have time. Give your email and musk will run it through grok on twitter There ain't enough people in America to check every visa applicants social media |

By the time they have finished checking the Scots fans' social media, it will be time for them to come home.

Let's just hope those pr!cks with the trumpets have been mean about Trump online.

Looking at those costs you could go to Cheltenham and stay in the town for the rest of your life .

By:
6 and a half grand for any England members prepared to rough it with grade 3 tkts for the final, going to be loads of empty grounds and cheaper tkts closer to games off tounts/secondary markets,when world cup looks like been a pr disaster for trump and america

Will be enjoy the spectacle of pre-match cheerleaders or will Homer Simpson introduce the players one by one?

By:
The wooden planks should never get another wc after this. But they own 11 out of the required 14 in the PL and already have refs mic'd up like the NFL, so expect 4 x 15 minute clocked quarters with ad breaks before there's another 3 wcs.

It's becoming a rich man's game, and enough rich people
around to keep those prices high for many of those games. I got another email today offering me to enter a ballot for the next tranche of tickets. |

Roy Keane gave us the nod thirty years ago with “corporate box” and “prawn cocktail” jibes. It is now entrenched in the game. Elitism.

"It's becoming a rich man's game, and enough rich people

Politics (and life) in the USA has been run for the elite since the early Eighties. The average price for an NFL game is $156. In the Eighties it was $10 to $30 (according to AI) I remember going to Leeds v Boro or Boro v Leeds in the Old First Division, and it being 60 pence, somewhere prolly between 79-81 (albeit those were the cheapest tickets in the ground and I was under 16) |

Ticket prices 1981 First Division
Standing Arsenal £1.80 Villa £1.50 Birmingham £1.50 Brighton £2.00 joint most expensive in Old First Division!! Middlesboro £1.30 joint cheapest Man City £1.30 joint cheapest!! Man Utd £1.40 Nottm Forest £2.00 Seats £5 most expensive!! That's Clough for you Now unbelievably, the most expensive standing tickets were in Division Two at an exorbitant price of £2.50! Doncaster was the cheapest at £1 Freedom of the Betfair Football Forum if anyone gets or knows the answer to which club had the most expensive. £1 in 1981 is about £3 now |
|
By:
Man City had the cheapest seats at £1.60 and the cheapest Season ticket prices at £26.
£1 in 1981 is worth £3.90 now. I misread the calculation before |

Unreal prices them Clydebank
So you could watch all the teams in the top flight for less than £8 in todays money to stand. And a max of £20 in todays money for a seat. (Most in the £10 ish bracket in todays money) Just a rip off today, and still have thousands at the likes of Liverpool unable to get a ticket. No longer a working mans game. For the rich and tourists nowadays. To get a ticket easy these days at Liverpool you have to pay £180 for a hospitality ticket. Match ticket and a sandwich and 1 drink at a nearby hotel. Targeted at tourists who may have just 1 chance to watch a game, and so will pay it. |
