It should be legally compulsary for all citizens to support a team during the world cup and I'm gessing those asking for footy free pubs are looking to escape footy mad husbands that have turned the family home into a stadium for four weeks hee hee.
When I watched the 1982 World Cup...it wasn't shown in any pubs other than in a few old mans pubs on sets that switched over to the races and at my hall of residence although there was a reasonable interest in the England games (maybe 20-30 mainly blokes) for other games there would be about five of us. How times have changed.
I really am not that bothered about football, much to the horror of virtually everyone I meet. I'm not sure when / how it became such an apparently, compulsory interest (like ???? says above, it wasn't always like this). I like a good kick around with mates, and I will admit to watching the occasional international - but I have friends who literally organise their entire lives around sitting infront of the TV, watching someone else playing football. The level of obsessiveness seems completely wierd to me.

    • I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.
    • https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14349080 Doesn't add much. No accounts. Possibly genuine. Possibly the hard-done-to veterans are themselves
    • We have a place and a date for the first (and hopefully not the last) reborn ED Forum drinks! We have booked tables at The Palmerston on Wednesday 11 June at 7pm, in the area by the window on the left as you come in. It would be very helpful to us (and particularly the pub) if you could PM us in good time if you intend to come, so that we are not reserving tables which won't be used. We will provide labels and pens  for those who would like to use them - definitely not compulsory! Any comments or queries, please post them here or PM me!
