Ray Parlour backs local pubs during World Cup as late kick-offs keep Brits away

Ray Parlour is championing local pubs during the World Cup, noting that many Brits are skipping pub visits due to late game kick-offs and high drink prices. A survey revealed that nearly half of Brits plan to stay home rather than endure these inconveniences. Parlour's support comes at a time when pubs face declining patronage, highlighting a broader trend of changing viewing habits during major sporting events. This shift underscores the need for venues to adapt to retain customers during popular global spectacles.
