if you don't like football,
as most Wetherspoons will be showing the FA cup final kicking off at 3pm

Also a big game in Scotland, 12:30, can’t wait for either.

How times have changed. Originally, Wetherspoons had no television, music or gaming machines so that they could maintain a quiet atmosphere.

I won't be visiting one today anyway.

Not all spoons have TV’s.

The ones that do only show big sporting events, like the FA Cup Final, Six Nations Rugby, World Cup (Rugby and Football) along with the Olympics.

They do not show weekly games, events.

I saw the title and thought hello that’s ‘Infoman’

Isn't the FA Cup a big event any more? It certainly used to be.

GrannyGravy13 Thanks for the extra info - shows how often I visit one (hardly ever).

The majority of Wetherspoons with a TV permanently display subtitled news with the sound off, apart from showing major sporting events as GG13 said.

I expect it will be on in the sitting room here ⚽️
I shall retreat to the peace of the conservatory!
