SBPA Welcome World Cup Extension for Glasgow Pubs

Commenting on the decision by the Glasgow Licensing Board to grant an extension of licenses until 30 minutes after the final whistle for all matches during the tournament, Paul Togneri of the Scottish Beer & Pub Association (SBPA) said: 

“Glasgow City Council has shown real leadership with this decision, backing our pubs at a crucial moment. With the World Cup on the horizon and communities gearing up to cheer on the Scotland team, this kind of pragmatic, common‑sense action gives pubs the confidence they need to create brilliant match‑day atmospheres, support jobs and keep investing in the city.

"We urge other Local Authorities across Scotland to follow Glasgow’s lead. A consistent approach nationwide will help protect much‑loved pubs, strengthen local economies and make sure fans have great places to come together and roar Scotland on in North America.”
