Hundreds of England fans attend ball game (not that game)

England’s travelling supporters have a much better rep nowadays, thanks to great behaviour at recent tournaments and the nonstop work of our Fans’ Embassy team, who are out in North America as we speak.

Such is the enhanced reputation of England supporters that other sports have even been working hard to get them along to their own events across the Atlantic.

Our Fans’ Embassy team made a deal with the Atlanta Braves giving England’s fans a 33% discount on baseball tickets, and the Braves even assigned England their own sections, encouraging fans to bring flags to help ensure a great atmosphere at the ball game (we know the lingo).

They even ran free buses from the city meaning it was easier for fans to get to a baseball game than it was to a World Cup match in some cities!

The Fans’ Embassy told us: “A good few hundred turned up last night after the England game to watch the Braves beat the St Louis Cardinals 5-1.

“We were made to feel more than welcome, fans returned the hospitality by adopting Braves player Michael Harris II, singing his name throughout with multiple variations of football songs.

“Somehow, they even managed to hire a red London bus (below) adorning it with our Free Lions logo alongside the Atlanta Braves logo and a St George’s Cross!”

A big red bus with the FSA logo on it!
