The BBC touring Big Screen visited Halifax and only managed 4 people. The fact that it was Monday's match Saudi Arabia v Ukraine was probably the reason!
With other screens being unable to show England games, crowd control problems, riots and one being blown down in the wind, it hasn't exactly been 100% successful!
Rioting, oh dear!

Oh dear, just 24 people turned up to watch one of the BBC big screen events in Preston (I think it was the roving Five Live screen).
This really needs to be reviewed- the screens are fine in big cities and for England games, but this PC "inclusiveness" agenda of appealing to smaller cities is a bit embarassing when no one turns up.
In other World cup news- BBC radio ads now an altered ending with something along the lines of "the only place to follow England from now on- the BBC".
I think the Sunday 4pm game will get a massive share (85+%) but probably won't topple the actual viewing figures obtained on the 8pm Sweden kickoff.
It'll be an absolutely massive match for pubs, and public screenings though.
