England fans at Glastonbury react to Slovakia’s goal in Euro 2024 qualifier

England football fans at Glastonbury react to Slovakia’s goal against the Three Lions during their Euro 2024 qualifier in Germany on Sunday.

Richard Perrott and Alistair Tomlinson, both 29, wore England shirts at the Worthy Farm festival to show their support for the Three Lions.

Mr Perrott, a sofa salesman from Midsomer Norton, north-east Somerset, was speaking to the PA news agency as Slovakia scored to bring the score to one-all, which he said was “shocking”.

“Obviously we watch the football but I thought Glastonbury was a bit more important but I try to still watch it and show the support,” he said.

“It’s very difficult (to watch Glastonbury football), the signal is not very good and nobody shows it sadly, they just try to get updates as and when.”

Mr Perrott said some of his friends had returned home from the festival to watch the game in their local pub.

“I know a lot of my mates have already gone back to watch it in a local pub, they would have stayed tonight but obviously you have to go back,” he said.

He added that he decided to stay at the festival because England “don’t attack the best” so he felt he “might as well stay and watch the music”.

Mr Tomlinson, a police officer from Wigan, told the PA: “I think it’s important to show you support your country, you’re where you’re from and England is a great country.

“I’m proud to be from England.”

Mr Tomlinson also broke the news that Slovakia had scored while speaking to PA, saying: “It is what it is.

“We will come back, I have faith in the team, we just have to keep going.

“From what I’ve seen we’ve had most of the possession so we’ve just got to keep the faith in the players, keep going and I think we’ll be fine.”

Mr Tomlinson said the 4G signal was “very good” at the festival, so he was able to stream the game on his phone for about 10 minutes after watching Canadian country singer Shania Twain.

“We only scored a few goals (during the tournament) but I think we need that positive attitude,” he said.

“It’s a tournament where the top players from the top international teams are playing, so they’re going to be good players.

“We just have to focus, believe in ourselves and keep going.”
