England Win The World Cup

[original PM]

The last WWC final that Lord's hosted had 4500 tickets sold.

The one in India had more attendees because the transport minister bussed in about 80000 people for free so it was busy. Unfortunately, he forgot to schedule any busses AWAY from the stadium after the event so they were all stuck there for hours afterwards.

I am thinking that that was not in the requirements and is needing a change request.

Well it was a final, if that's not a sell-out then something seriously wrong.

Shame the women's Euro 2017 doesn't seem to be getting as much support, going by the TV pictures showing whole stands closed off. Surely would have been better to reduce the ticket price even further, or give free tickets to locals/school kids to get the stands fuller.

Was going to go over myself but ended up in contract.

Another sport where the women are showing up the men. Semi finalists (and ultimately 3rd place, beating Germany, double whammy lads!) in last world cup, and currently doing well in Euro 2017, beating Scotland 6-0 and Spain 2-0.

I've watched a few of the women's footy tournaments and 15 years ago the quality was a bit dire, however you can see the money being pumped into the game, professionalism, etc, Citeh, L'pool, Chel$ki, the quality has improved no end, the last ladies world cup was great to watch.

Our girls have a great chance in this tourney, if they can avoid France until the final.

The fellas have a lot to learn from their female counterparts...

I've never seen a ticket tout at a women's game before, but they were outside asking for tickets and not getting much interest that I could see. Top priced ticket was £30, I paid £24 for mine, and well worth every penny.

Indeed, shows what can be achieved with some grit and determination as opposed to gung ho approach of the men in their 2nd test match this summer. They should learn how to battle like the ladies...

It might also show the ECB / MCC / grounds what can be achieved with a little common sense and making the tickets attractively priced. Lord's was the noisiest that I've ever seen it, almost entirely full (one or two empty seats apart from the hospitality boxes and the member's pavilion, obviously), they allowed drums and instruments in - make it inviting and people will come.

It was a great match, plus being able to chat with Mark, Heather, Tammy etc at the end and hold the trophy with them was a pretty great day out

51 years of hurt are all over. We need never mention football again.

Nah we have to keep mentioning men's football as they are over paid prima donnas.
