Nearly half of football fans (45%) plan to watch more of the World Cup from the comfort of their own home, rather than at the pub – with one in ten (11%) even buying a new TV or sound system for the tournament.
Almost a fifth (18%), of 2,000 adults polled, believe they have a better set-up to watch football at home than they would at the pub, with 24% deeming the boozer as too rowdy.
One in three would rather stay at home to watch the matches as it is cheaper than going out – while 14% said it is simply too cold outside.
