Practical tips for matchday in the UK
- Arrive at the pub 90 minutes before kickoff — the good spots fill up faster than the stadium
- Standing tables on big games — most England pubs go standing-only on derby days and Champions League nights
- Watch transport after — getting home from the UK after a late kick-off needs a plan. Apps like Bolt + Uber surge hard
- Wear colours, but read the room — some pubs are home end only, others are mixed-friendly
