After a delayed paperwork issue almost denies them access to Euro 2016 stadiums this summer, here are the best of the England Supporters Band jokes.

Reports that the FA had failed to request access for the group amidst tightened security measures at the tournament in France emerged on Thursday.

However these were denied by English football’s governing body and the band will be able to go to matches after UEFA approved the request.

Grumbling fans made England Supporters Band jokes on Twitter before the musicians’ eventually confirmed appearance at Euro 2016:

England's #EURO2016 starts on a positive note: FA paperwork delays mean that dreadful band won't be allowed to take instruments into games.

This unfolding England Band saga has only one outcome: double-pager in The Sun of them, with their trombones, Looking Sad and Disappointed.

the england supporters band is just another reason the EU should be looking to expel us, rather than the other way round

You have to sort of begrudgingly applaud the England band. Absolutely despised by everyone but they keep going. Like a musical Robert Mugabe

The utter shamelessness of the England supporters band is astounding. Hated by 99.9% of fans but they will never turn down a freebie.

I don't advocate violence but surely it wouldn't take much of a whip-round to get all of the England band's arms cut off.

Today I learned that some people are actually pro the England band which came as a genuine shock to me.
