Wow!!! Probably can add another £5 on top for each ticket for admin/booking/e-ticket fee. With the new Chumps League format you get an extra home group game but as you only play each team once, they might not even get a really glamorous home game against a Euro giant.

I like the way they break it down into various concessions - then hardly reduce the price at all!

I’m not sure the international equivalent of the pizza trophy should count as a competitive game though…

Nah the Nations League is good. Adds meaning to rounds of fixtures in the international calendar that previously lacked it.

I'd question where it is placed in the calendar though - especially this round of games, players have only just recovered from the Euros, and some have hardly started playing for their clubs! Just another consequence of the congested football calendar, which seems to be an 11 month sport for some.

I love the nations league, it's good fun. You get to play teams in and around your level. The relegation other than being a bit embarrassing is good fun, i'd much rather Ireland, Finland & Greece away over the usual Germany, Italy & Spain type teams

I agree, it’s a decent format. England should never have been in the position of being relegated. And to think Scotland are in Group A!

Its another needless and pointless competition if you're one of the big boys of European football. Just about the only teams that look forward to it are the minnow countries as it gives them the chance to make it to the Euros.

I’d rather United had a match this weekend and internationals were just on Wednesdays like they always used to be

Andy Mangan of Conference Wrexham fame heading to Real Madrid. Yes really.
