This is how we have chosen to deal with hate and racism.
We'd like to say thanks to Gareth and @england for a month of memories.
And to Saka, Sancho and Rashford, thank you for your courage. #LoveNotHate#Eng

England fans will have access to the Trabrennbahn Gelsenkirchen, the racecourse, which has capacity for 40,000 people and will open at 11am on matchday and close at 3am. Entry is free.
Inside there will be more than enough bars, โฌ5 Bitburger Pils on sale as well as multiple food stalls including Bratwurst, Currywurst, pizzas, pretzels, nachos, tofu etcโฆ
There will be a large screen to watch the football for those without tickets to the game.
There are some bars in the town centre, but not many. Serbia fans have sold their allocation of 10,000 and have a meeting point at Sankt-Urbanus-Kirchplatz in Buer, so it is advised not to use this area.

From Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof, there will be free shuttles to take you to the racecourse, plus you can take tram 107 to Revierpark Neinhausen, which is right next to Trabrennbahn.
From Essen, you can catch tram 107 which will also take you direct to the racecourse.

From the racecourse, tram 107 will take you direct to the stadium, there will be shuttle buses on standby should it be busy. We would advise heading to the stadium early. Journeyโs should take around 20 mins.
From Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof, you can take tram 302 which also goes direct to the stadium.
The tram stop at the stadium, the Veltins Arena is where you will get off. Fans with accessibility needs should get off at Willy-Brandt-Allee, which is the station just before, assistance will be waiting to take you to the stadium.

Alcohol will be limited to two beers per sale, and drinking in the stands is forbidden.

You must get your ticket activated at the stadium by a steward at the security perimeter, it wonโt work at the turnstile without this process.

Tram services will run for at least two hours after the game, and to assist with the demand on trams, shuttle services will run from car park P6 to Essen Central Station and to Gelsenkirchen Central Station.
We have been assured there will plenty of trains afterwards to take you to surrounding towns and cities. Patience is obviously required, be kind to the volunteers.

Great night. Great cause. Thanks to those who watched, donated, played and enjoyed.
Itโs a great laugh and a bit of fun but the serious bit is raising money for a wonderful charity. ยฃ14 million โฆ
Wouldnโt have happened without @robbiewilliams@socceraid and @UNICEF_uk
In 2014 when @England went out of the World Cup Stuart Pearce & I sat down for an interview in our apartment on the Copacabana. 10 years on we will revisit that chat and discuss how England have progressed since then... Here's the article from that day..

This is an excellent grown-up conversation between @sammatterface of @talkSPORT and @PED7 of @ToffeeTVEFC and is well worth watching after their @X drama ๐
Well done to both ๐๐๐
@PED7 If you know me or listen to me I hope you realise that my intention is never to stoke a fire, and if Iโm wrong Iโll endeavour to put it right straight away.
@PED7 Well firstly there are no real facts because we are talking about the future.
Itโs looks sensationalist because you clipped it that with respect.
That was never my intention- hence why today we spent time with Kieran Maguire delving into the finances in detail.
@PED7 The central core was that the fans have been thru enough and Moshiri should have been better in his due diligence. The last thing anyone wants is more issue for Everton, i think thereโs a bit of miscommunication here really, maybe a bit misunderstanding on both parts
@AndyHE29 Andy - yeh I think that was a clumsy figure, maybe not thought thru - but that came about after a longer discussion about how vultures devalue players / PSR/ etc โฆ Letโs be honest, this is a manufactured clip that detracts from the REAL issue !
