England 4-1 Scotland in 1969. Been to a few home Scotland games, but none away (except Wembley). I’m a proud Scot, but also happy for England to do well.
Was lucky enough to do France 98, two great weeks in my VW Camper. We were at the group game against Romania (last-minute defeat). Then in St Etienne for the Argentina game (Beckham red card, lost on pens).
Then Portugal 2004… lost 2-1 to France (conceded TWO in last TWO minutes)… anybody noticing a pattern here?!?!
Redeemed partly by seeing us beat Croatia 4-1, Rooney on fire!
Happy days!!

Several, although probably only one in the last 15 years.
Good: 4-1 v Holland
Bad: 2-3 v Croatia
Ugly: 3-0 v Andorra (away) It pissed down and was freezing cold. Everyone was underdressed!

None for me... I go to football on my own so wouldn't want to go England on my own.

England v Cameroon with the Junior Seagulls in 1991. Freezing cold night and Gary Pallister got subbed on, ran five yards, slipped on the frozen pitch and broke his wrist.
England v USA - Dunk's debut. Was in The Bobby Moore Club with Club Wembley through work hosting clients. Wasn't going to miss that one.

I think that was the one where folk not in the know thought England were New Zealand for the match as they played in white and England played in black.

Just the one match at the old wembley and Southgate was playing, fowler and Adams scoring to win 2-0 against Ukraine. The stewards nearly had me out, as the caught me swigging from my hip flask. Scholes and Beckham looked so small. Scholes was quality.

My England international attendance career coincides with Howard Wilkinson's international management career.
1999
lost 0-2 to France.
they were better.
Didn't particularly enjoy it.

Seen a few at both the old and new Wembleys, including the famous draw against Poland with the clown goalie, and was at Old Trafford for the Greece game when Beckham scored the free kick.
Took in games at Marseille (that one was a bit hairy) and Toulouse in 1998 which are the only ones abroad.

The last time I saw NSC's old poster Mr Blobby (who by nature of his ultra running is probably far from blobby now) was on the train to Sapporo in 2002 for the Argentina game.
Plenty of others home and away - France, Greece and a friendly in Malta with a week's poolside holiday added on for good measure. The 1-5 in Munich was the best though, not least because Mr and Mrs Owen walked into the bar we were in during the afternoon and said that they were 'quietly confident' about England's chances that night. Day trip from Gatwick straight after the Northampton away game which we'd lost 2-0 - £280 in first class return to Munich with the Travel Club. VFM.
Looking forward to rejoining the Travel Club and doing all that stuff again soon after Southgate's imminent departure.

England Schoolboys game when I was a kid, and a WC Qualifier (I think) v Khazakstan, plus the women’s games at the Amex. Sat at the back of the top tier at Wembley, players looked like ants. Have no great desire to go to any England games there again.

Only been once, Vs Egypt at Wembley 2010. Didnt enjoy it much despite the win, and put me right off going again. The band was pretty close behind us, and the inter-club rivalry from fans to players i found really odd.
Errmmmm ............. I don't think he was supporting England!
(You might decide to whoosh me for that, but by then I will have clicked on 'Ignore thread', so yah boo sucks!)
