England allows players’ wives stay in Krakow
England will allow players’ wives and girlfriends to stay in Krakow, the squad’s Euro 2012 base, but they will be allowed into the team hotel only the day after matches, “The telegraph” writes.
England have booked the five-star Stary Hotel until the end of the tournament, choosing a city-centre location because they want to “embrace” the event.
The expectation is that some of the families will fly in and out of the Euros, simply attending games, although some may choose to base themselves in beautiful Krakow to be near their loved ones.
Sven-Goran Eriksson was criticised for allowing the Wags to stay in Baden Baden during the 2006 World Cup, leading to a nightly show of some of the Wags being photographed out on the town. Rio Ferdinand described it as a “circus”.
