Pubs stand to lose out by thousands of pounds after England's exit from the World Cup.
Businesses who had hoped for a bonanza if the Three Lions progressed to the quarter-finals and beyond are now glumly preparing for trade to return to normal.
While The British Beer and Pub Association estimated that a good run by Fabio Capello's team could have been worth an extra £124m to the pub industry, and a single match could see a pub's takings nearly double..
Bars and pubs have been packed with patriotic punters cheering on Wayne Rooney and his teammates during their rocky ride in South Africa, and a quarter-final match against Argentina at 3pm on Saturday would have meant another full house.
