Headed up to Galleries South last week to see if anything was showing in the "Cinema" area. Wimbledon was on - on mute - and the five or so rows of Sofas where occupied by people sleeping. The TV and the picture quality was grainy anyway.

Interesting that a significant number of pubs are not showing the England games due to the aggro involved. I can see why BA are not making a big thing out of this in the lounges.
I find the behaviour of fans in this country deeply shaming. Why can we not be more like the Japanese?

I think there is one on the opposite side to the apron windows, but I don't think it's the best TV for the game, there is a bigger TV on the wall on the main floor that makes up the partition from the central food area, and I suspect there will be a bigger crowd by the TV on the wall by the business centre / kids games room (where there is a football table if things get really heavy).
