Pubs across the country look set to be allowed to serve alcohol during early morning World Cup matches after a ruling by the High Court.
Landlord Martin Gough, who runs a pub in Bristol, has won his case after magistrates rejected his bid to open his doors early for matches broadcast from Japan and Korea.
Now the 39-year-old's test case win could pave the way for pubs across the country to open their doors for breakfast and football.
John Saunders QC, appearing for Mr Gough, earlier told the court that the question was whether the local licensing justices were entitled to exercise their discretion and grant the licensee a special order of exemption enabling him to open.

Go down to your local pubs and ask them to apply for early opening for the world cup. Each pub now has to apply to the Licencing board in the local courts.
But I know that I will not be going down to my pub at 7:30am or 8:30am to watch footie when there is a prefectly good TV and sofa at my house and I can spend less money getting drunk. Buy an extra valve 6 cans from local Tesco.
Even though the pub is about a 2 minute walk from my house.

Cheers Meka! That will come in very handy.
www.sportinglife.com click on World Cup, then TV schedule, and you'll get the kick off times, and which channel they're on!
I am so going to try and watch every game, even if I have to tape it.
Slightly off topic, can someone tell me where I can get the fixtures for the World Cup as I'm going to make my own wallchart. I've still got Euro 2000 up!

I don't know if I can do that though, drink before breakfast.
Some of the matches kick off at 6:30 am, so can I really see myself walking into a pub for a fry up and a pint of lager?
I've only ever drank in the mornings in the past if I'm still going from the night before, and I actually plan of being able remember the matches, and stuff.
No, I reckon I'll watch most of them from the comfort of my home.
You know there's a couple of days in which there are 4 matches on. The first Saturday they kick off at 6:30 (BBC1) 8:30 (ITV) 10:30 (ITV) and 12:30 (BBC1) That'll only give me a matter of minutes between the end of one match, and the start of the next!
I can't wait!
