Actually, when Vauxhall took over the sponsorship of the England team they also sponsored Scotland, N.ireland and Wales and insisted that the games were played between the four over the course of 2 years.

Where were they in 99? Standard 7k then. None in the home ends.
Where were the English in the 70s?
No denying that. My old man was there the day they pulled the posts down with very very few English present. He got his Maidstone United scarf nicked by em that day and was saved a kicking by a handy group of Fulham.
Them jolly jocks who are so well behaved, the little rascals.

Don't get me wrong, they're bastards! But you have to tip your hat to them, proper support for a small country and with a side that Charlton could turn over!

nearly 40 years ago now.
Scotland's support has changed a lot since then.
I saw plenty of them being like that around London In 99 pre-game but i get your point.
England's support has changed beyond recognition in 15 years but we still seem to carry the reputation.
People will get tickets on public sale easily anyway, the demand for home games isn't there at the moment. Albeit this one will probably sell out a lot quicker than other friendly's.
The Wembley experience isn't what it used to be if you listen to my dad. Expect to be drowning in the noise of 20,000 Jocks for 90 minutes in August, the home atmosphere there really is non-existent.
Game wont have same feel about as the old games .but lets hope they keep a lid on any trouble otherwise it will be put to bed as a freindly very quickly.

Exactly why I'll be giving it a miss. Couldn't even get an atmosphere going against Ireland.

As Folev said England's support is unrecognisable (think grown men with cuddly toys - I think it's less 'laddish' than Charlton even) from even 10 years ago. There will be no serious trouble, just like Ireland passed without a wimper the other week. Our FA will go out their way to make the jocks feel at home too.

But in 99 they sold thier allocation and that was that. Didnt see any who had chanced the home end or all over London.

England are scum though aren't they?
This is massive game for them.
No different from us taking 7k to Fulham other year.
