Where to watch the final?

Post by Somethingfishy » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:47 pm

With the ongoing restrictions it has become a total free for all to find places to watch the football. Tonight was difficult but Sunday will be nigh on impossible. Anyone know good places that may have space to watch?

Last place I'd want to be is in a place where beer goes flying all over the place and idiots making complete fools of themselves.

:geek: Think most places will have seats up for grabs, but you'll have to get in early, that's the key.

Watched the Ukraine game in the Castle in Accy, but we got in at 5.30, just before the door was locked.

Completely disagree, nowhere like a packed pub to watch a game of such magnitude.

If I'm a beer-covered idiot, so be it. :P

Just stick an old t shirt on.

To be fair, those who throw their beer up in the air when we score, are shandy drinking arseholes. :D

At home with the kids hopefully make memories for them. It’s nice to actually watch the game.

There's no place like home.

Wherever you all choose to watch the spectacle, I hope you have a great time and that the 3 Lions are victorious.

I watched Saturday's game at home and had a great view of the telly. But the euphoria ended at the final whistle.
I went up the cricket club tonight to watch and it was electric after we scored. Amazing atmosphere. Don't waste it at home. Go and dance and celebrate like nobody is watching.

You can’t beat your own house I think if the preparation is right, a fridge full of cold 1s & a decent telly & a nice chilled out relaxed environment.

I’m off back to my dads house in Burnley with my son to watch he match with my dad and brother

My dad brought me up on football and there’s no place I’d rather be. He’s 74 so unlikely we will experience this again

Wouldn't it be good if they did the fan zone and big screen behind the Longside like they did for the European games.

Ah here he is again my own little bumbling personal troll,please enlighten me as to who all the other doubters are,maybe we could all meet and watch the game together and revel in the moment when everything begins to unfold,you maybe should have saved this post till around 10 pm on a Sunday,but then I don't think it would have the same effect then,were are you watching it fella....from under your stone I expect...till next time. ;)

I’m playing a charity match Sunday afternoon

Hopefully my 44yr old knees will come out unscathed and I’ll be able to watch it at home (living room is upstairs)

If not I’ll be watching at my parents bungalow :lol:

At some of the London fanzones & pubs there must be a few grands worth of beer thrown around when England score!

Local pub in Crawshawbooth ended up with damaged tables and chairs, road blocked and passing cars and buses damaged and this was after a win. Problem with the football bandwagon jumpers who can’t handle a shandy.

There is nothing more on God's earth I would like than to watch this with my wife, son, daughter in law and parents, but my Dad ( 85 ) suffers from vascular dementia and will still be in Nelson Community Hospital recovering from a fall come match-day ...

He attended the opening game of the 1966 World Cup, England v Uruguay ... I was only 2 at the time of the Final, and I'm told Mum was so convinced she was a jinx, she went to the hairdressers to avoid the game !
