JAMES CHESTER

02/06/16

Wales defender James Chester has expressed his relief at breaking into the West Brom side after the turn of the year as he feared missing Euro 2016.

Chester became the most expensive defender in West Brom's history last summer when he joined the Baggies in an £8m deal from Hull.

But the 27-year-old started just one Premier League game before Christmas and feared that his part in the European Qualifiers would count for nothing if he could not force his way into Tony Pulis' team.

The staggering odds that say a Euro 2016 semi-final place is more likely for Wales than a rugby win against New Zealand



Thursday 02nd June 2016


BY DELME PARFITT



If you fancy Coleman’s boys to go all the way and win the tournament, you can gets odds of 80-1 in most betting shops.


Such is the lack of confidence in Warren Gatland's men toppling the world champions that Gareth Bale and co reaching the last four is priced worse with bookmakers




The Welsh football team are more likely to reach the semi finals of Euro 2016 than the rugby team are to beat New Zealand next week, according to the bookiesThe Welsh football team are more likely to reach the semi finals of Euro 2016 than the rugby team are to beat New Zealand next week, according to the bookies

Warren Gatland’s Wales are less likely to beat New Zealand in the first Test on Saturday week than Gareth Bale and his team are to go all the way to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

That’s according to bookmakers SkyBet who have priced the rugby team at a staggering 12-1 to beat the All Blacks for the first time on Kiwi soil at Auckland’s Eden Park on June 11.

The odds on Wales causing a shock against the world champions are considerably longer than those placed on England to beat Australia and Ireland toppling South Africa.

Eddie Jones’ Grand Slam champions are rated at 5-4 by William Hill to get the better of the Wallabies in the first Test in Brisbane while Ireland are priced at 21-4 for the win against the Springboks in Capetown.


While New Zealand are the number one ranked team in the world, the 12-1 odds on Wales in a two horse race are an indication of how their stock has fallen since the World Cup.


It appears there is greater optimism around Chris Coleman’s footballers to reach the last four of the Euro finals in France, with 10-1 on offer at Ladbrokes for them to reach a stage only the wildest optmists would expect.

If you fancy Coleman’s boys to go all the way and win the tournament, you can gets odds of 80-1 in most betting shops.

Wales #Euro2016 Campaign



8 days!

Wales manager Chris Coleman names his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 without referring to his team sheet.

The former defender almost gets it right - but accidentally misses out Tottenham's Ben Davies.

Rest assured, Davies is flying to France with the rest of the squad heading for Wales' first major finals since 1958.

And after that achievement, Coleman is allowed the occasional minor memory lapse.

Euro 2016: Fans warned over illegal tickets
By Simon Read

BBC

Sunday 5th June 2016


Thousands of fans have bought tickets for England games

Unofficial websites illegally selling Euro 2016 tickets could leave fans being refused entry, Which? has warned.
Rules by the European football body Uefa mean ticket-holders are likely to need photo ID to get into grounds, which won't match the name on the ticket if it is an unofficial one.

The investigation by the consumer group found tickets on unofficial secondary sites selling for up to £5,000.
Tickets can only be bought legally through Uefa itself.
Which? has also warned of scam sites being set up to trick fans out of their cash.
"If you haven't bought your ticket directly from an official source there is no guarantee that you'll be able to get into the game and you could be left thousands of pounds out of pocket," said Alex Neill, Which? director of policy and campaigns.




Fraud and fakes

Under the rules of tournament organisers Uefa tickets cannot be sold on except through its official resale site. Buyers have also been told to bring photo ID to gain entry to stadiums.
In a statement Uefa said: "No tickets for individual football fans are being distributed via agencies or brokers, and Uefa encourages fans not to be lured into deals with touts, who not only demand exorbitant prices but are often not even in possession of the tickets they purport to have for sale."

The final batch of match tickets went on sale on Friday through its official ticket sales website.
Which? said it had contacted several websites to ask why they were selling tickets in breach of Uefa's rules and why they were not warning consumers of the risks involved in buying tickets. It said it had received no reply from any of the sites.
Which? also pointed out that tickets are being sold on the sites and others in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, by not communicating the seat location, original face value of the ticket and any restrictions on the ticket.
The tell-tale signs that a website might be selling tickets unofficially
The site may be offering tickets outside of official channels, often in large quantities
The site may be unresponsive or difficult to contact
There may be a high number of online complaints about the site from previous users
You may be asked to pay by wire transfer, rather than by credit or debit card
The site may have been set up not long before the sporting event.



Fraud crackdown

Last month the Local Government Association called on social media sites to do more to crack down on online ticket fraud.
Simon Blackburn, chair of the LGA's Safer and Stronger Communities Board, said: "Social media sites now account for nearly half of all ticket scams and they need to do more to help prevent people being conned paying for tickets on their sites.
"People should be very wary of ticket offers for 'sold out' events as these situations are exploited by criminals," said Mr Blackburn.




Buying tickets

If you have bought a ticket that hasn't turned up, or you suspect to be fake, contact your credit card provider immediately, as you may be able to get your money back, Which? advises.
If you discover a fraudulent ticket sales site you can report it to the Citizens Advice consumer helpline by calling 03454 04 05 06.
Almost 3,000 cases of ticket fraud were reported to Action Fraud between May and October last year. On average, customers who bought fake tickets lost £444 per transaction.


Football fans are constantly target by illegal ticket sellers. The LGA reported that last month a Liverpool fan was conned out of £700 by scammers selling fake Europa League final tickets on Instagram.

He met the seller to buy the tickets, which he thought were genuine, but later noticed the hologram on the tickets had peeled off - revealing them to be counterfeit and him out of pocket and out of the match.

Rob Phillips in Stockholm with Ashley Williams and Chris Coleman. Both spoke warmly of send off from Cardiff Wales Airport. Coleman quite emotional when talking of representing Wales at the Euros. No need to draft in inspirational speaker, he said. He simply mentions some of the Welsh greats who have never been to a tournament finals. Big feeling of Wales being on the brink of a really special event. And it seems Joe Ledley's miraculous recovery continues apace - on course for Slovakia.
