In theory if we get a home semi final in the Premiership we
will.

Erm, why have we resurrected a 4 year old thread?

Were the ticket sales disappointing?

ENGLAND HOCKEY EVENT MOVED TO LEE VALLEY CENTRE
Tuesday, 10th May 2022 @ 15:30
ENGLAND HOCKEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEIR MATCH AGAINST THE
NETHERLANDS NEXT MONTH HAS CHANGED VENUE
England’s FIH Hockey Pro League fixtures against the Netherlands
– scheduled for the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5
June - will now be played at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre
with the same dates and times, England Hockey have confirmed.
The Queen’s Jubilee Weekend were cited by England Hockey as a
key reason for the switch to the smaller venue which had
impacted the number of the local hockey community to attend.
England Hockey Chief Executive Nick Pink said: “We are hugely
disappointed not to be going to The Stoop this year. Big Stadium
Hockey is an ambitious project to grow hockey’s visibility, and
the number of registrants in our ticket ballot gave us
confidence to take the matches to The Stoop. Unfortunately,
those expressions of interest have not translated to the
expected level of ticket sales. Both the lifting of
international travel restrictions this summer and the double
Bank Holiday on the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend have been
key factors.
“Regardless, we are very fortunate to have another top class
venue available in Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, and
hosting the Dutch there in front of a packed crowd will be a
great weekend of international hockey. Ticket sales for every
other weekend are already very positive and we hope the hockey
community will come out in force for the FIH Hockey Pro League.
“I am very grateful to everyone at Harlequins for their support,
and we both remain fully committed to our long-term
partnership.”
Ticket holders for The Stoop will automatically have their
tickets transferred to the fixtures at Lee Valley Hockey and
Tennis Centre. All existing ticket holders are being contacted
by email by England Hockey with details regarding their ticket
transfers and details of how to request a refund if required. If
you have any queries, please contact
tickets@englandhockey.co.uk.
England Hockey are also in the process of contacting all other
stakeholders including hospitality guests, VIPs, Hockey Makers
and officials.
