ENGLAND v ICELAND - BRIGG CLASH

Hundreds of football followers in Brigg will be watching TV coverage of England v Iceland in the first knockout stage of Euro 2016.

  • Beer already chilling in the fridge at home?
  • Going to a Brigg bar showing TV coverage?

There are  England flags flying at various points around the town ahead of tomorrow's game, which kicks off at 8pm.
ITV is screening the tie from France and coverage starts at 7pm with pre-match chat.
Some years ago we went to Brigg Town FC's Hawthorns clubhouse to watch coverage of an important England game.
England were winning when we nipped out to answer the call of nature but our footballers had shot themselves in the foot by the time we got back to our seat.
Surely there won't be a repeat against tournament 'minnows' Iceland tomorrow night!
Brigg Blog will be on official duties in the Angel Suite, covering two Brigg Town Council meetings.
The Planning & Environment Committee session starts at 6.45pm.  The Town Council's June meeting then follows from 7.15pm.
Both meetings are open to interested members of the public. 
The odds of the council meeting finishing in time for everyone involved to get home for kick-off are worse than Iceland's currently quoted 12/1 to succeed against Roy's boys!
