BRIGG BARS ON THE BALL FOR ENGLAND V CROATIA EURO 2020 FOOTBALL MATCH TOMORROW

 

Most pubs and licensed clubs in Brigg will be screening live coverage of the initial England game in the Euro 2020 tournament tomorrow (Sunday, June 13) and are offering local football fans the opportunity to watch the match against Croatia, which kicks off at 2pm, while enjoying a drink or two or a bite to eat at some venues.
Many local licensed premises have furnished Brigg Blog with information about what they are offering.

The Dying Gladiator, on Bigby Street, has three 70-inch TVs and two more that are 65-inch. It will be serving up free hot dogs at half-time during every England match. 

Brigg Town Football Club is telling local England fans: "We have limited tables outside and booths with your own TV available! We also have tables in the bar and function room. Please text 07904383569 to guarantee your table."
Beer offers at The Hawthorns clubhouse include jugs of Carling for £10, while the club is offering "a free SHOT for every goal scored by England!"
Food from Pips Kitchen (located on the premises) will be available from the grill for all England's games - the others in the qualifying group being: Friday, June 16 v Scotland (8pm) and Tuesday, June 22 v Czech Republic (8pm).
Jim Huxford at the club also says: "We are open for breakfast 9am until 11am; food from the grill from 12 mid-day; bar opens 11am."
The Black Bull, on Wrawby Street, is already flying the flag for England on its frontage and in the large rear beer garden.
Mine host Andrew Noon says: "We are offering our fantastic venue and superb atmosphere and service... the biggest collection of TV screens in the town with nearly all in full HD service."
He stresses the Bull gives support to ALL sporting events... "and the Euros is one not to miss."

The Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street, is offering any drink for £2 "in play until the first goal - one drink per person at any one time."

Brigg & District Servicemen's Club, on Coney Court, will be providing free light refreshments for Sunday's England opener.
TV coverage is only available to those who visit the Woolpack, in the Market Place.
Not everyone in Brigg, of course, is interested in football and some people will just be hoping to enjoy a meal or a pint without watching and listening to England's progress.

The national Wetherspoon chain which owns and operates the White Horse pub and restaurant on Wrawby Street and also the Blue Bell in Scunthorpe, informs Brigg Blog that its outlets "won't be showing the Euros."

Does anyone agree with us that the tournament (postponed a full year because of the Coronavirus emergency) should be known as Euro 2021, instead of Euro 2020? Surely it is the year when an event takes place that should apply!
