"It is free entry. Hopefully we will get a good reception in our first venture into sports. 

"Anyone can come, kids, adults you name it. Hopefully people can have a nice time and come on England.

"We will have a special offer on beer for £5 pints.

"And as we are a cinema, of course, we will be selling popcorn. 

"We will have live music afterwards with Ally [Dickaty} from [Macclesfield band] The Virginmarys. This is part of the 1261 Festival afterparties and will require an official afterparties wristband to enjoy.""
