I could suffer it if we were doing well but that's not going to happen.

I was listening to a travel agent being interviewed on the radio last week, he was talking about the number of fans going to Russia. Can't remember the exact figures now but it was somewhere in the region. At this time before the last World Cup, 94,000 had booked to travel, compared to those going to Russia this year as 22,000.
The figues can't be just because of the spy business, there must be other fears.

Sam there was an item on TV recently about Russian football hooligans in training , they were like an army . Apparently, they are ready and waiting for our fans.

Re: Should we boycott the World Cup ?

I can honestly say that I boycott the world cup every year.

I find football the ultimate bore.

I read this...https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...oligans-world/
So maybe it might be better to put a ban in place, we are not exactly chums at the moment anyway. I suspect the state will ‘support’ the Russian ‘fan gangs’

Totally agree mate. It would be nice to actually go out for a quiet pint without all those open-mouthed gobby morons jumping around like apes at a King Kong convention

Wouldn't it be good if it could be held elsewhere? Get lots of countries to boycott ................ then re-arrange it!

That would fix 'em!

I don't go to my nearest pub for the simple reason that they have football on TV screens in every room. You can't get away from it.

Now if they'd put on cricket, that's another matter.

Of course, this is Lancashire. LCCC? Who are they?

At least it's quieter with a cricket match.

I'm happy with a rugby league game. At least it's civilised.
