You’ve got more chance of them just all failing off, so it looks better.

It's going to be a strange opening ceremony when Italy v Switzerland & Slovenia v Sweden will have kicked off
6 hours earlier at St George's Park & Walsall respectively...

Many global events have this happen particularly multi-discipline events where some competitions have started two days before the "official opening". More unusual for football but I guess this will be a centre-piece for sponsors and the big-wigs.

I appreciate that Pete but how many host venues would bill it as the opening game of the tournament when it isn't?

From the FA site: "As hosts, the young lions first group fixture at Chesterfield will also be the opening match of the tournament. Be there from just £5 for adults and £2.50 for under-17s."

It seems to be the official line rather than from the Club as on the link page the earlier matches have ticket sales.

Yes and I suppose we have to toe the line to curry favour with the FA, not right though that our fans in particular should be misled, it was clear from the draw it was always going to be the joint 3rd game of the tournament

Might get my 'Free Palestine' flag out for this one, anyone know if it will be shown on TV?
