@thebritspot: The government has now confirmed that pubs wanting to stay open for the 1am kick-off will need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) from their local council if their existing licence doesn’t already cover those hours. If approved, they could stay open until around 3:30am in case the game goes into extra time and penalties. Meanwhile, Scotland was granted a bank holiday on Monday, June 15, to mark the first time the men's national team has participated in the World Cup since 1998. Although the King formally approved the proposal, employers had to buy into the new holiday and the majority of Scottish local authorities, 27 out of 32, officially rejected or opted out of it.
