    Do you know what I think will be a funny original idea. If when England score everyone jumps up and down like lunatics and tries to throw their pints of drink as far as possible. That will look good on the highlight packages on the news later in the day.

    I mean the covered in beer thing doesn’t appeal to me, but last summer was pure class and if we can go one further this time and win it, they’ll be great places to be in. Everyone was buzzing and I would love to see it again, try and get some of the feeling we had in 2012 with the Olympics

    it got so ridiculous in the world cup. even when the game was finished and people were celebrating the win v Sweden i put my pint down for one second to answer a phone call and some absolute bellend picked up the pint and threw it in the air.

    they should give everyone glasses rather than plastic cups (they should still throw them around after goals)

    I was going to ask if that what happens with Scotland games - then I realised they don’t score goals.  ;)

    Scruffy Murphys Bromley high street as we went out on penalties to Argentina in 98 employed this policy for 5 minutes after the missed kick

    Only open for England games I believe. Priority for local residents although not sure what this will mean.

    Well I am a local resident, so can't wait for all that noise, drunkedness, packed people, and football hooligans :)

    Local residents will get priority (and it won't be open for other country's games)
    Bit of a trek from Leeds though

    I reckon at £7 a pint and a 3 hour bar queue, people might be a bit more careful next year.

    That's not too far off of half time bars at most grounds and the problem still persists. Perhaps if they served lager that didn't taste like weasel urine they could be on to a winner?

    I'm pretty certain there are some folk who buy pints just to chuck. #Ladz

    Well here's one local resident who'd rather stick pins in their eyes than attend a rain fest of beer while watching a tv screen

    Fucking crazy at those prices. Why not cut out the middle man & take an empty glass with them & drink loads of water before they go

    In a pub in Catford for Euro 96 against Scotland, Seaman saves McAlister’s penalty people started chucking beer about, a minute later Gascoigne scores and the now empty pint glasses are thrown about, bouncing off the ceiling and walls, pictures are ripped off the wall and frisbeed around the room – it looked like a warzone.  I was glad England didn’t score a third as I imagine the only way to up the ante would have been to burn the pub down.

    I dont think it's for the likes of us SHG.  20 years younger (okay perhaps 30) and i'd be well up for it but sadly those days are gone.
