Supporters are being offered the best view in the house for the UEFA European under-21 Championship qualifier between England and Macedonia at the Ricoh Arena. Stuart Pearce’s young lions will take on the red lions of Macedonia in a crunch qualifying match at the £113 million venue on Friday, October 9, and fans have the chance to watch the action in style. The first 40 people to take up the gold hospitality package will be issued seats in the directors’ box as well as being treated to all the usual benefits including access to an exclusive lounge and bar, a three-course carvery meal and car parking. It is the second time the Ricoh has hosted the under-21 team following the 1-0 victory over Germany during a qualifying play-off in October 2006 in front of a sell-out crowd. The fixture with Macedonia is also expected to sell out fast and supporters are being encouraged to book their hospitality packaged early to avoid missing out. Mikala Turner, special events manager at the Ricoh Arena, said: “We are expecting there to be a real family atmosphere and the action will be all the more exciting if, as we expect, it is played in front of a sell-out crowd. “This event is the latest in a string of high-profile events hosted at the Ricoh Arena and we are looking forward to building on the success of the hospitality packages offered for the Take That and Oasis concerts. “This will be a record year for corporate hospitality sales at the Ricoh and we would encourage football fans to get in touch as soon as possible to avoid missing out on these exciting opportunities.” Gold packages are available from £49.50 plus VAT for adults and £24.50 plus VAT for under-12s. Executive suites packages, which include a two-course hot buffet, padded seats outside your suite and car parking, are available for £65 plus VAT based on 12 guests sharing.
