World Cup Dress Code an Issue in Reading Pubs

Reading Police plan to speak to pubs in the town about their policies for fans wearing football shirts after England matches. A spokesman said “One issue that has been identified was a number of venues welcomed fans wearing football shirts during the match, but once it finished they were given an option of either changing or going elsewhere. We will work with those venues this week to clarify what their clothing policy is and to ensure that customers are informed of the policy up front.”

The major bars showing matches all said they welcomed fans in football shirts but policies varied.

There were no serious incidents in town on Saturday night despite thousands of fans packing the pubs for England v USA, but officers plan to talk to pub managers about better publicising their clothing regulations.
