TTFF Release - Tickets for T&T/England match sold out

All tickets Sold out for T&T/England

 

 

On behalf of the TTFF I wish to formally announce that all tickets for the match Trinidad and Tobago versus England have been sold out. It is at times like this the work I do for the promotion of my country through football and elsewhere inspires me to continue despite the ridicule and criticism. I persevere through it all confident that the results of everything I do will vilify my critics. Here we are on the cusp of our renewed efforts at qualifying for World Cup, South Africa, 2010 and the near impossible is achieved, that is, a final warm-up match between a full strength England national football team and Trinidad and Tobago played right here at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.

 

In most parts of the world, pulling that off would have been lauded by all local sports officials and media. Instead, the platform has become a source of the usual criticism, this time about prices and the new electronic ticketing system.

 

Once again, the results speak for themselves as for the first time in the history of any sports event locally I believe, over twenty thousand tickets have been sold out within 24 hours. This reaffirmation of public support goes against the grain of all the doomsayers and armchair critics. The public has kept the faith. May we all use this event to rekindle that belief in ourselves, to inspire that strong sense of nationalism we encountered during the last World Cup and to move beyond the negativity and disbelief we too often display in ourselves. May the nation rally as one, once again behind our team. The surge of support is evidently there, let us build the momentum. It is time to Settle the Score.
