It's make your mind up time for Brigg people who are planning to visit licensed premises to watch live big screen coverage of tomorrow night's major England v Germany 'round of 16' football match in the Euro 2020 tournament.
Kick-off is 5pm at Wembley Stadium, London, and most Brigg pubs and licensed clubs will be offering TV coverage, as they did for all England's qualifying group games. Which 'local' will you choose to visit?
Among favoured venues tomorrow will be the Dying Gladiator, Black Bull, Brigg Town FC's Hawthorns, the Britannia and Brigg & District Servicemen's Club on Coney Court (pictured above yesterday with promotional board outside). There will be no quiz at the Lord Nelson tomorrow evening (Tuesday) with the next being held on July 6.
While one of the qualifiers involving Gareth Southgate's national side was being played, the cheering when England scored could be heard in the Buttercross where a Brigg Town Council meeting was taking place!
England v Germany tomorrow night will generate major interest, with pints flowing either to celebrate what will be a famous England win or to drown fans' sorrows if Gareth's team fail to progress to the quarter-finals.
Many local folk, of course, will be staying at home to watch the TV coverage - some opting to stock up with drinks bought in Brigg shops which have off-licences; another boost to the local economy which has already benefited from the Euro tournament in which Wales and Scotland also took part but have now been knocked out.
Brigg takeaways will also see considerable demand tomorrow evening as people settle down to enjoy a pizza the football action at tea-time!
