Fan Attendance

Last Wednesday the 12 hosting cities at this summer's rescheduled European Championships had to supply UEFA with information on how many fans they intend to let into their stadiums for the tournament. Four of those cities Bilbao, Dublin, Munich and Rome have not been able to make guarantees so could they be stripped of their right to host games? And if so could the UK host additional games? There's information on potential travel to host cities and ticketing information that could be particularly important for Welsh fans ahead of potential trips to Baku in Azerbaijan. Plus, the Podcast begins with thoughts on social media blackouts and Suj wants Jesse Lingard in England's squad but doesn't know who he would leave out in his place. ____________________________________________ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/planetfpl Web: www.planetfpl.com Twitter: @PlanetFPLPod (James) / @sujanshah (Suj) Facebook: www.facebook.com/PlanetFPL Instagram: @planetfpl You Tube: www.youtube.com/planetfpl Learn more about your ad choices.
