England fans can see France friendly for a fiver

England fans can see their stars for just a fiver.

FA bosses are taking unprecedented steps to flog tickets for England's friendly with France on November 17.

Having sold just 44,000 tickets, football chiefs are desperate to fill Wembley so they are virtually giving away entry as prices start from a FIVER.

For the first time, 70,000 leaflets will be posted in Wembley's home borough of Brent, encouraging local fans to take up the cut-price offer.

After the World Cup disaster in South Africa, the marketing team adopted an aggressive policy to try to avoid embarrassing attendances.

So leaflets have also been handed out at Football League games in London and the south east.

The Hungary, Bulgaria and Montenegro games all attracted over 70,000 fans and the FA are confident their half-price offer to locals will ensure another decent gate.
