So... will we be able to watch the world cup?!

[thegill]

England vs USA will be on at 8:30pm on the Saturday night... what are the chances of watching it near the circuit?

I didn't really check out the bars of Arnage last year- are they likely to be showing any football?

Well said that man Perhaps if you want to watch football you could always stay at home

[stevetav]

hang on, there are a few motorsport and football fans around here ......but i wont be too concerned for the football at 20.30, just a shower and BBQ....

[RemaL]

I won't going to see a good race and not watch men run around a field after a ball

[Rolls]

Previously the big tent in Expo (the danes - maybe?) has always shown the footbal when its been on.... Sounds like a good saturday night IMO -
Wtach the race for 4 hours or so...
food / football
back the the track!

Yup it is the Danes, though they're not too keen on people randomly coming in to their bar!

I'm interested though - want to know where we can go!

No right minded person would dream of going to Le Mans on a World/Euro Cup year if they didn't show the football - of course it'll be shown.

Despite being a bunch of surrender-eating cheese monkeys, the French actually quite like football (they're just not very good at it without blatant cheating).

Pretty much all the bars will be showing World Cup games, although it probably won't be like Euro 96 when they showed England v Scotland on a giant screen in Tribunes...

The final is on the Sunday night of the Classic so I wwil be going in to LM town centre to watch it.

Could we not ask the chaps at FIFA to play this on Friday night, might keep the knuckle draggers with their water pistols quiet for a bit

Now Now mr Hetherington you should know our setup by now? You are welcome to come and watch but i am sure rules will be enforced

[TonyHetherington]

Of course - thanks Rich, will probably take you up on that!!!

Richard, Rules will definitely be in force

BTW Tony we are in the TL area at Tertre Rouge, so wristbands will be needed - see earlier post from TL

[TonyHetherington]

James - is that the same place as last year? We did come by but didn't come in.

Odd - they've always been ok with us going in there for a cold beer / hotdog!

[TonyHetherington]

Us too - (we camp immediately opposite for the past 10 yrs!) and they're top blokes, I thought it best just to mention and not have 2000 PHers turn up wanting to watch an England match; the power of PistonHeads is often very underated

Ok, gotcha!
looking forward to it again - wondering what the guys in the doubledecker last year are going to turn up to this year!

Lets hope we actually progress in the football!
That'd be nice! Aston win, and England for the cup! - got to be worth a £5 bet - miracles do sometimes happen afteral!

[TonyHetherington]

Yup they were top guys too - had good fun on Expo last year, and will be there this year too. Please do come say hi! (we're in the cattle shed opposite the Dane's tent).

I think your £5 will be better spent on 1.5 cans of cold danish lager (though it will befun to watch the football and hear those Astons again!)

Yes same site. I hope the TL guys will give us the same part of the site as it helps to have some solid ground to park the motorhome on.
