It should be legally compulsary for all citizens to support a team during the world cup and I'm gessing those asking for footy free pubs are looking to escape footy mad husbands that have turned the family home into a stadium for four weeks hee hee.
When I watched the 1982 World Cup...it wasn't shown in any pubs other than in a few old mans pubs on sets that switched over to the races and at my hall of residence although there was a reasonable interest in the England games (maybe 20-30 mainly blokes) for other games there would be about five of us. How times have changed.
I really am not that bothered about football, much to the horror of virtually everyone I meet. I'm not sure when / how it became such an apparently, compulsory interest (like ???? says above, it wasn't always like this). I like a good kick around with mates, and I will admit to watching the occasional international - but I have friends who literally organise their entire lives around sitting infront of the TV, watching someone else playing football. The level of obsessiveness seems completely wierd to me.

    • In deed.   An hour is optimistic. I'd always use the train/tube, so many options from the slowish Picadilly, quick Heathrow Express and Lizzy line in the middle. In the old days I'd go out to Feltham via Clapham Junction and either get a cab from there or the bus to avoid central London Alternatively 3 hours by bus only Or a couple of hours by bike, I have cycled there a few times including illegally going through the tunnel as it is so bike unfriendly.
