In a bid to support the nation and create a festive atmosphere, Greene King, a leading pub and brewer, has announced a promotion that allows football fans to claim a free pint if England scores in the Euros semi-finals against the Netherlands on July 10. The offer is available at participating Greene King pubs and can be redeemed by simply saying 'England scored, please pour'. The Managing Director for Greene King Pubs, Clair Preston-Beer, expressed the pub chain's desire to ensure a good time for customers, win or lose. The offer entitles pubgoers to one complimentary pint of various beers or a soft drink alternative [45116554].
This initiative by Greene King adds to the excitement surrounding the Euros and provides an additional incentive for fans to cheer for England. It also serves as a creative marketing strategy for the pub chain, attracting customers and fostering a sense of community and celebration. By capitalizing on the national fervor and offering a free pint, Greene King aims to create a memorable experience for football fans and strengthen their brand loyalty [24fd0f46].
Meanwhile, the World Matchplay Sunday double session in Blackpool may be amended if England reaches the Euro 2024 final. The current plan is for the afternoon session to start at 1pm, but if England reaches the final, it could be changed to as early as 10am. The match is likely to start at 8am, resulting in an early start and a potential 2pm finish. The evening session would be from 4pm-8pm. The decision will be made after England's match against the Netherlands on Wednesday. Players such as Rob Cross, Joe Cullen, Peter Wright, Dimitri van den Bergh, and Ross Smith may need to adjust their schedules. The PDC intentionally selected these players for the Sunday slot in case of this eventuality [1eb05fe0].
