'Southgate you're the one': The latest (slightly bizarre) football song
We've brought you a few football songs today, but this remix of Atomic Kitten's classic Whole Again is perhaps the most bizarre.
The song had become a crowd anthem at England matches, with fans replacing the lyrics as an ode to their favourite manager - but it's the first time we've actually heard it performed by Atomic Kitten.
The easing of coronavirus restrictions means outdoor and indoor venues are back open and ready for business and there’s no better place to get in on the kind of buzz that only an England game could generate, than your local big screen venue.
Ahead of the Semi-final game against Denmark on Wednesday, 7 July, which will be kicking off at 8pm, we’ve picked out the best pubs and venues to support the team in the UK’s biggest cities. While tickets at many of the dedicated fan zones and large screens sold out weeks in advance, here are some of the venues still available for booking or taking walk-ins.
Showcase cinemas, nationwide
After a quiet year for the cinema industry, due to the pandemic forcing them shut, Showcase is back open. With cinemas across the country, including Liverpool, Nottingham, Leeds, Leicester and London, the company is using its screens to show England games for free.
An added bonus is that all the screens are indoor, which is particularly convenient given the UK’s unpredictable weather. Tickets are still available at many locations, including its east London-based Newham venue.
Brewdog, nationwide
In celebration of football’s return, Brewdog pubs are turning themselves into fan zones. The chain has venues up and down the country, with more than 20 in London alone. While booking to watch the match is required, many locations still have availability. Visit its website to see which fan zones are still available to book.
Pop Brixton, London
This large outdoor dining and drinking south-London based venue will be showing the game on a mega screen measuring almost 4 metres wide. Opened in 2015, Pop Brixton is home to a range of small, independent businesses serving fresh food from a variety of cuisines. Although it has been taking pre-bookings, the venue has reserved walk-in spots for every match.
The Happenstance, London
A short walk away from St Paul’s cathedral, the Happenstance will be showing the match on multiple big screens both inside and on its huge terrace outdoors. Promising a “sophisticated” spot for the match, the venue has designed a selection of sharing boards and fully loaded burgers for a “summer of sport”. Bookings for Saturday’s match are still available on its website.
Truman’s Social Club, London
East London’s Truman’s Social Club will be screening the match on both of its big screens. Describing itself as a “beer hall”, it has more than 20 beers on tap to get you through the game. Bookings for Saturday have now closed, but limited walk-in tables will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
