Yep, when the venues were announced in 2019 it said where the England games would be, although not obviously who the opponents would be at that stage. We also know that England’s quarterfinal would be at Anfield and Semifinal would be at Emirates if they make it that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think everyone knew about Newcastle hosting England’s first game (against Greece I think) and being the opening ceremony. Didn’t know about Sheffield and Bolton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is the opener and all the knockouts, but if I can manage another trip north, I'd quite like to see a decent match up in a proper rugby stadium. I haven't been to Headingley since it was rebuilt so Tonga vs PNG there would be the dream fixture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling Headingley (and Leeds) will play host to either a big side like Tonga or NZ, or will be the base for Jamaica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi mum Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 A friend of my other half works at Sheffield United and the word is England v Greece. I am not sure how reliable his source is but let’s see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I would have guessed the opposite, Greece match at Bolton, since it holds 4000 less than Bramall Lane. But time will tell I suppose. My goal is to take the entire month off and go to all 31 matches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I will be aiming to be at all England Games plus whatever goes on in Coventry and will try to sneak in a Scotland game or two depending on where and when once the fixture list is out. BUT unless there is a covid-19 vaccine developed by the end of the year, at what point should we start to get concerned about the World Cup going ahead as planned ?
