Many popular pubs and restaurants in the city would be
screening the matches live, offering some irresistible deals to tempt the
football buffs. ‘We will be showing the 9.30 pm matches live on our television
sets and with some authentic Italian food. We have an offer for beer guzzlers -
buy three and get two free’, Virender Singh Vohra, manager at Baci restaurant
in Sunder Nagar market told IANS.
Both the fans and the restaurateurs are disappointed that
they cannot have more fun as the scheduling of the matches is in a time zone
that doesn't help public viewing here beyond midnight.
Most pubs and restaurants in Delhi shut by midnight, latest
by 1 am, so that leaves the restaurateurs with just one time slot where they
can show matches live.
‘Last time in South Africa the timings were perfect. We put
up a projector screen and showed all the top matches live’, Trilok Singh,
manager at Gulmohar Sports Club, said.
