What a month following England!! Met some great people, covered 6 countries, and spent a sh*t ton of money! England fans often get tarnished with a bad rep, but we didn’t see one bit of bother! WGA in 2 years, now get me home to my girls!! ❤️ 🦁🦁🦁

@EnglandOnOurWay Friday Isle of Man / Dublin / Düsseldorf / gelsenkirchen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So who’s officially on their way? Anybody in Germany yet? If not when are you going? ✈️🇩🇪

@WeAreFreeLions @NCFCJamesWilko Get in early doors then to make it happen. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@Jones8IOM @NCFCJamesWilko It’s possible there will be some segregation between stands.

⚽️𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐯 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 🗓️𝟏𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, 𝐆𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 🏟️𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐀𝐮𝐟𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞 England fans will have access to the Trabrennbahn Gelsenkirchen, the racecourse, which has capacity for 40,000 people and will open at 11am on matchday and close at 3am. Entry is free. Inside there will be more than enough bars, €5 Bitburger Pils on sale as well as multiple food stalls including Bratwurst, Currywurst, pizzas, pretzels, nachos, tofu etc… There will be a large screen to watch the football for those without tickets to the game. There are some bars in the town centre, but not many. Serbia fans have sold their allocation of 10,000 and have a meeting point at Sankt-Urbanus-Kirchplatz in Buer, so it is advised not to use this area. 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐡𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 From Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof, there will be free shuttles to take you to the racecourse, plus you can take tram 107 to Revierpark Neinhausen, which is right next to Trabrennbahn. From Essen, you can catch tram 107 which will also take you direct to the racecourse. 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 From the racecourse, tram 107 will take you direct to the stadium, there will be shuttle buses on standby should it be busy. We would advise heading to the stadium early. Journey’s should take around 20 mins. From Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof, you can take tram 302 which also goes direct to the stadium. The tram stop at the stadium, the Veltins Arena is where you will get off. Fans with accessibility needs should get off at Willy-Brandt-Allee, which is the station just before, assistance will be waiting to take you to the stadium. 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐀𝐮𝐟𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞 The stadium will open 3 hours before kick-off at 18:00. Cashless payments are preferred. Alcohol will be limited to two beers per sale, and drinking in the stands is forbidden. Power banks are allowed. Carry some form of valid ID. You must get your ticket activated at the stadium by a steward at the security perimeter, it won’t work at the turnstile without this process. 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 Tram services will run for at least two hours after the game, and to assist with the demand on trams, shuttle services will run from car park P6 to Essen Central Station and to Gelsenkirchen Central Station. We have been assured there will plenty of trains afterwards to take you to surrounding towns and cities. Patience is obviously required, be kind to the volunteers. 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐬’ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐲 Our England Fans’ Embassy will be located outside of the main station in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday 15th June (around 11am-4pm) and on Sunday 16th June (around 10:30am-5:30pm). We have arranged for ESTC staff to join us on matchday, 11am-1pm. Issue 185 of the Free Lions will be available to collect. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@NCFCJamesWilko @WeAreFreeLions I have one in west and one in south was hoping to just move around to south and stand together. What’s the thoughts on this from inside?

@WeAreFreeLions I have a ticket but it’s come through as in the Serbia fan section, any advice if I will be able to move to the England fans in the ground ?

@Danmain96 @FCIsleOfMan Fc Isle of Man. Had 22 seats secured at 3.39 for the travelling squad. But all bury players left airport at 3.30. And staff wouldn’t call them to come back to airport. #Managerschoice

Unfortunately after a lot of hard work from all at FC Isle of Man and Loganair in an effort to get the game played tomorrow whilst Bury fans still on Island, we regret to announce that as things stand the game won't be played this weekend. i.mtr.cool/ivpbyqgtrc (1/4)
