The Club will be open at 5pm tomorrow night, ready for England’s big game against Colombia in the knock-out stages. With a quarter final place on Saturday afternoon the prize, it should be a great game against a decent side, so we’re expecting a few in. So if your partner’s watching Wimbledon, and you need to watch the footy, get yourself down to the Club for the game. And you can enjoy a drink or two in between biting your nails. The game kicks off at 7pm – make sure yu get yourself a place.
We’re not just watching England of course, because there’s plenty more World Cup football on through the week, a little bit of cricket, and some golf. Tomorrow night is easy, England are on. Then on Wednesday we’ll be showing the Notts-Warwickshire 20/20 cricket from 6.30pm and on Thursday you can watch the Middlesex-Surrey 20/20 game from 6.15pm and then the Greenbriar Classic golf afterwards.
On Friday we’re back into the World Cup with the first quarter finals. We’ll have the second half of France-Uruguay when we open at 4pm on Friday and then at 7pm it’ll be the second quarter final between Brazil and the winners of tonight’s game between Belgium and Japan. There’s also golf to watch after the football.
Please be advised if you want the cricket or golf on you’ll need to ask at the bar to have the channel changed. This is because Sky are incredibly bloody slow at releasing some sport on TV details – you’d think they’d want to advertise themselves really – and only release the next month’s data as the month starts. This means it is still to find its way onto our viewing list.
Also, if you want to watch Wimbledon please ask nicely at the bar and don’t be miffed if there’s something else on. We cannot know what the schedule of play is, and who is playing who, until almost the day they play and for that reason we can’t put it on the TV list, but we’d expect to show the finals.
Finally, if you’re keen to see when we’ll be showing the first football games of the new season, we can’t show those until the Premiership stops faffing around and announces the August/September matches on July 15th, which gives us every excuse to not worry about that for another week.
