I had deja vu (London 2012 ticket application) - a nice round zero in my four applications. For matches with lower demand. I've used stronger words today.


Mates who applied for two matches had 0, 0, 1 and some lucky bustart 2 successes.


Haven't worked out the odds yet, but even 1 application out of 4 would have been OK


Have to break it to the boy. Any words of consolation?

Bit late to the party here but I actually managed to get four tickets for three separate fixtures, two group games and a quarter final match.


I only plan on going to the quarter finals at the moment so depending on how the groups are drawn in December I may have some tickets for sale for any of you guys that missed out, or anyone out of luck in the next ticketing phase.


I'll keep you updated on what matches I'm drawn later in the year.

I didn't get them in the second ballot either, and was already peed off by the geographical spread, the inclusion of so many teams, and some of the second round draws which pit 3rd against first in the group stages which will probably be pointless.


I'll stick with my memories of World Cups in Germany (Dortmund( and in Brazil (Manaus) and our much better value tickets to the ladies finals at Wimbledon.


I assume that you were successful as you went for the top price tickets

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
