World cup
Does anyone know where I can find some sort of timetable for the matches?
Was hoping to find out so we know when the town will be busy and when it will be quiet.
Had a look on a few sites but can't seem to find any times, which is a bit ironic really, considering all the hype. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

The BBC has an excellent guide at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/fixtures_and_results
This highlights the England games so will enable you to shop in peace - just avoid the final whistle as the police were in the habit of turning out all of the fans from the pubs for some reason? The sort of times that Henry down at the Ram was very popular!!

I hope those of us who don't want to watch will have some choices in the evenings and its not going to be on BBC and ITV at the same time.................we don't have all these other fancy things jut the basic 4 to choose from! Can't even get 5 as we are too close to the Water Tower!

BBC 1 and ITV 3 alternate during the initial group stage rounds. Not sure what happens after that.

I think you mean ITV 1 [:)]
According to ITV.com "During the knockout stage of the tournament the split of games between the two broadcasters will depend on England’s progression through the tournament. In all scenarios, the BBC will take first pick of the ‘round of 16’ and ‘quarter final’ matches.
If England reach the semi final, the game will be shown live by both ITV and the BBC. While both broadcasters will show the World Cup final live."

Thanks for the info, just checked the Mercury and realised they are alternating which is a relief........if its only semis and finals we have to avoid thats not so bad.

I relaise that but when you have been up from 5 / 6 am a couple of hours in the evening is my way of relaxing before bed, I normally do something at the same time ie cross stich or similar but football as a background is not very relaxing for someone who hates it[;)] [:D]

I'm someone who likes football though I'd rather hear the background sound of cross-stitching than those damned Vuvu-watsits. They sound like a wasp infestation.
I hope our fans are able to out-sing them when we play our games.
