they weren't allowed in with the instruments, despite the FA and UEFA having an agreement for them to go into the grounds with them

Platini has seen to that. Apparently they will be allowed in after this game.

Thankfully absent. Have England ever played well when they've turned up? Buy a CD of the great escape theme if you're that bothered

makes the atmosphere better  fuck me , you ever been to an England game and had to sit anywhere near these tossers. I have on many occasions home and away, plastic and cringeworthy is what i think of them. This is exactly what I came to say, they're a giant bunch of annoying, repetitive fuckwits and it's a blessing to to have to hear that same drivel ALL FUCKING GAME |

On another note did anyone notice how empty it was? I shouldnt have to though should i? I want to hear the commentary team not the twattish din made by the band, which is only slightly less irritating than a vuvuzela. |

Your avatar states "Against modern footbal", yet you like the England band.
That doesn't really add up, MM. They're the biggest bunch on nu-soccer nuggets around. Soccer AM-mad them lads!

When you buy tickets in the Kop at Hillsborough, they tell you where the band is, so you can buy tickets well away from them if you want
Fortunately there's lots of empty seats available, so it's not a problem!
ps don't tell my son I said that!! ;D

The England Supporters Band were unable to play at the team's first 2012 European Championship game after having their instruments confiscated at the stadium in Ukraine.
Band leader John Hemmingham said Monday's match against France was the first time the group had not played at an England game in 16 years.
The Sheffield-based band said it was working with the Football Association (FA) to resolve the issue.
The FA said it did not want to comment.
At football stadiums around the world there are often bans on certain items from being brought into the ground, sometimes including musical instruments, but the band thought arrangements had been made for them to be allowed in with their brass instruments and drums.
Mr Hemmingham said: "The FA had done all of the necessary agreements but it was overturned at the last minute.

It was kind of weird, fans were asking where our instruments were”
John Hemmingham
Band leader
"We got ready to play half an hour before kick-off and then stewards came up to us and said, 'no, we've made a mistake you have to take the instruments out now, you can't play'.
"We had to put our instruments in storage."
The band, which provides music to add atmosphere to each England match, sat throughout the game at the stadium in Donetsk, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
"It was kind of weird," Mr Hemmingham said. "Fans were asking where our instruments were."
Mr Hemmingham, who founded the band in 1993 when members played during Sheffield Wednesday games, said the band was due to meet with the FA and the stadium management to resolve the issue before England's game on Friday against Sweden.
"We've been all over the world - different countries and tournaments," added Mr Hemmingham.
A spokesman for the FA and it would not comment on the matter until discussions had taken place.
