This looks like a great idea!

In addition, there will also be a full no-spoiler re-run of the game on BBC Two from 07:10 BST, while a full re-run will be available on demand on BBC iPlayer immediately after the match.

This was announced on the radio this morning.

Good

Sounds like a good idea. Mind you, anyone wanting to watch later with no spoilers will have to avoid all news programmes, not talk to anyone in case they let it slip, etc.

It reminds me of the Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? episode 'No Hiding Place' where they spend the day trying to avoid the result of an England match. ๐Ÿ˜

That's really good. However, as I'm in a hotel in Liverpool at the moment I shall need double earplugs to not hear raucous cheers or groans from the nearby pubs before I can get as far as 7am. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

This is what is making me think I will watch the match live.
I wouldnt even trust my DH not to let something slip.

Oh I can, on holiday.
The hotel has been showing all the matches, so might watch the rerun in the morning ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Yes, that was the first thing that I thought of! ๐Ÿ˜†

I'm gonna watch in the morning on iPlayer. Will get up and go straight on there. Hopefully will miss spoilers, mustn't look at my phone, answer it. And earplugs tonight ๐Ÿ˜Š

We decided yesterday to do this โ€˜stay up or get upโ€™ promotion from the BBC. TV will be on BBC2 tonight before we go to bed, no phone, iPad, Alexa or any other media from getting up at 6:50 7ntil game over.

The BBC should show that on prime time tv!
