Licensing laws will be relaxed during the World Cup to allow pubs to stay open late during some England matches, the Home Office has said. Pubs and bars will be allowed to open until 01:00 BST when England matches kick-off at 20:00 BST or later.

While this should bring in some extra income to some pubs, it could mean the need for more police in certain areas.
Who is for this & who is against the longer hours ?

Besides the usual revving of cars and the loud voices /shouting, it's the flashing blue lights from the police that are the biggest pain
Luckily I don't live there anymore. It wasn't much fun
It's London!
It will create more jobs.
waiting for this from you and you didn't let me down
Several pubs near me open until 1 am everyday and most open until at least 1am and often later at the weekends.
If I owned a pub it'd ONLY be when England are playing and I wouldn't be showing the rest of the World Cup as it isn't a legal requirement for pubs to show televised football.
And it'd be:-
the football DOESN'T come on until kick off and goes off after ninety minutes, no matter what's going on.
If the customers DEMAND I put the football on fifteen minutes/half an hour before kick off, the television goes off/gets turned over half an hour/fifteen minutes earlier.
The first sign of any trouble from anybody and the football goes off.
Just what exactly is the big deal and ever so important about televised football anyway?
I don't get the double standards.
I only know from working in retail when the new licensing laws came in a few (well nearer 10) that you had to apply for all the hours you thought you would need for the next few years, as getting the license amended for a few f=days here and there was time consuming, sou businesses were told to apply for long hours, but of course your local council could object you getting license for certain times, as would the police , as they wouldnt want 20 pubs all kicking out at the same time, so you may be told, no you cant open 24 hours as we need to know your actual opening times to plan security.
They will have a license that allows them to open at set times. Obviously if they are in built up areas they are unlikely to get a 24 hour license, this will give them exceptions so they can open later anyway.
You wouldn't have any customers. They'd be over the road at the sports bar watching the football and taking the piss out of the strange, miserable old bastard who runs the pub opposite.
Of course they should do it. To be honest most pubs in our local town are open late anyway.
Being unable to see what the big deal about football is.
Refusing to conform to the idea that ITV would be lost without Simon Cowell (they've managed perfectly well without him before).
Having a mind of my own.
Not wanting a three figure mobile phone.
Not wanting a Facebook account.
Not using PHOTOSHOP.
Congratulations
I know someone who has a very similar condition, I didn't realise it was called "Freethinkeritis", I thought it was called "Smugpratitis".
I'm a massive football fan, yet I still have a mind of my own. I don't like Simon Cowell yet I appreciate new technology and the fact that I can do a huge array of useful things on my mobile. I also appreciate that Facebook is quite a useful tool when used correctly yet I don't feel the need to shout "PHOTOSHOP" randomly. Bloody hell, I bet the doctors would struggle with a diagnosis.
Pubs are best at 3 pm on a weekday when there's no one else around.
So there.
