I don't understand either. Pubs are for drinking and swearing. No way should adults have to mind what they're doing to accommodate the parents who simply can't be arsed to sit and watch it in their own living rooms.

It's to allow the kids to participate in the communal atmosphere. A bit of drinking and swearing won't kill them, if they were at the matches they'd be getting the same thing.

Pretty obvious.

We're going to church where they are using their big screen to show the footy. Hopefully not much swearing and the kids have plenty of space to run about..

A lot of pubs might not be licensed for children that late.

Yes, and people are trying to find a place that isn’t a pub maybe? A local community centre here is screening it with a BBQ, I guess people are asking if there’s something like that near them? You don’t know if you don’t ask!

People want the experience of watching it in a crowd. Their children may also enjoy it. But it needs to be an environment that's fit for children.

I quite agree. I don’t want to be surrounded by drunken fans so I won’t be in a pub. It’s quite easy to avoid.

There are options other than pubs.

Our local church is putting on the football on a big screen with soft drinks and snacks for anyone who wants to see it without alcohol being involved. Some places are putting it on outsiude screens in parks nearby too.

Not being snarky, but that is so pretty obvious. Are you genuinely asking this? Clearly you do not have children.

JurassicClark · 14/07/2024 14:19

The kick off is 8pm BST - they are after a communal experience that isn't full of beer-soaked swearing blokes, I assume, so their younger children can enjoy watching.

They want a place to watch football where they can bring their children along. What’s so difficult to understand about that?

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 14/07/2024 14:18

They want a child friendly place to watch the football.

fourelementary · 14/07/2024 14:17

They want somewhere that won’t be full of drunk obnoxious swearing football fans? So they can also enjoy the game while their kids watch/sit on iPads?

Not sure why they can’t watch at home mind you… but each to their own.
