‘I’ve never seen owt like it’: England fans in Benidorm in high spirits before Euro final
Supporters enjoy a ‘buzzing’ atmosphere and predict ‘carnage’ whatever the result in match against Spain
When England beat the Netherlands in the Euros semi-finals, Jodie White tore through Benidorm with her friend Chelsea Hancox on her shoulders. But White insists that if her team wins tonight, only one celebration will do: “I want to be on top of a building. I’ll be like King Kong climbing up it.”
As anticipation started to build among England fans in Benidorm in the early afternoon, the pair, who are both 24 and from Sheffield, were sitting in a bar with two friends, all dressed in red and white. They were easing into the long day ahead with a bucket of Spanish beers on the Calle Gerona, affectionately known as the strip, and gearing up for an atmosphere they hope will surpass the semis.
