Steve McClaren's team are going away from home at the end of March for two vital qualifiers, first to Tel Aviv on 24 March, then to Barcelona four days later to take on Andorra - and they'll be backed by over 17,000 englandfans members.

The FA has revealed that England will, as ever, be given a massive boost by their fantastic following.

"The number of fans who will be travelling to these two European qualifiers once again emphasises the incredible support and loyalty the England team enjoy," said Adrian Bevington, The FA's Director of Communications.

"Tel Aviv is not the easiest of destinations to get to and yet we anticipate still having between 3,500 and 4,000 England fans supporting the side. That is despite the difficulty due to most flights being full already.

"Tickets are selling very well for the game at the Espanyol Stadium in Barcelona, with around 10,000 tickets already sold.

"With the two ends of the stadium being closed off, it reduces the capacity and there is every chance the atmosphere will resemble that of a home match for England. It is fantastic support.

"But then, wherever England play in the world, our fans always seem to be there right behind the team - however far away and however much it costs them - and it is much appreciated by Steve McClaren, the players and everyone at The FA.''

For englandfans+ members wishing to travel to either of the matches, there is still time to buy the few remaining tickets. Log on to the englandfans website to find out more.
