Ever the pessimist Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Was going to Rotherham tonight, but got covid again. I know there’s no legal obligation to isolate any longer but would be pretty damn selfish to sit amongst other people with it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Unreal day yesterday. We soaked up the atmosphere on Division Street, it was a sea of orange and yellow! Fan Park was ace as well. Really enjoyed the match. Sweden looked great first half and then the Dutch came back into it. 1-1 was probably a fair result. Hoping to get down to the NYS tonight. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan zone area in Rotherham is where the wineos like to hang out but frequently get stopped by police and get there drinks confiscated, I've heard that they're very unhappy that football fans are being allowed to drink.

Pablo Bonvin Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) As regards Rotherham, I looked on the “guide to the host cities” (I know it’s not a city but nobody told UEFA) on the official website. It mentioned Bempton Cliffs and the trams to the beach in Scarborough as nearby attractions. It’s all relative I suppose. If you’re travelling for Spain they are nearer than to you now if you’re here… Edited July 10, 2022 by Pablo Bonvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that it was decent build up play, chances and half chances and back and forth. The standard is genuinely better than I expected. Of course a sport that has been shunned since WWII and is just starting to get a tiny fraction of the resources that the men's game gets is going to have some issues. But overall I really enjoyed it. No hooligans, no aggression, just a nice evening watching decent football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Was briefly in town yesterday, quite rare for me of a weekend, and had forgotten this was happening. It looked like a really nice event, exactly as an international sports gathering ought to be, and the coverage this morning on social media is really positive both for the city and the tournament. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binky Griptite Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Definitely felt sparsely populated today, which is a shame. Strangely lop sided scoreline... France obviously the better side (hard to see past them winning the lot) but Italy were not as bad as the scoreline suggested, they were just far too open. Nice for them to get a goal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social care were specifically attempting to use them to take the naughty kids as reward. Some will most probably have gone but they were still there last week for anyone that wanted them.

Kids loved it playing footie on Devonshire Green. My lad had an Ajax kit on, so many of the Dutch fans took a shine to him. My lads used to coming to Hillsborough, but it was the first game for some of my friends kids. Great way to introduce them to football. Thought the Dutch no 9 and Swedish 18 looked head and shoulders above everyone else by quite some distance. It was only looking them up after where I found out the play for Arsenal and Barcelona respectively and are very highly regarded in the women's game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
