Paul Jenkins Express and Star.com, the atmosphere is building at the Billy Wright for Sunday's
00:06
game, England vs Spain in the Euro final. The beer's being delivered here, the big screen's
00:13
being delivered, Tracy the landlady's putting out the flags for Sunday, they've already
00:18
got a great atmosphere. We're going to go in there and speak to some of the customers
00:21
and staff to see what they think and more importantly, what do they think the score's
00:27
going to be on Sunday. How's it been for the part of the atmosphere? It's been like a coming
00:32
together kind of thing, like everybody's kind of rooting for the same thing, we're all together,
00:37
it's like a happy vibe. Yeah, been very busy? Yeah, to be fair. Because I mean, the Billy
00:44
Wright pub, this is one of the few pubs that's named after a footballer, a famous footballer
00:48
obviously, Wolves of England captain, are you a football fan at all? I am a little bit
00:53
when it comes to England, yes. Do you work here during the Wolves game as well? Yes I do,
00:58
I get quite busy then as well. So what are you expecting for Sunday? Tracy, the landlady
01:04
said she's putting the flags out. Yeah, we've got quite a lot of decorations, we're doing
01:09
a buffet, we've got t-shirts and balloons, those kinds of things. Going to be a busy
01:17
day then, how do you think England will do in their final? Well, obviously we're all
01:22
hoping that we win, given the way they've played so far, I think we'll be OK. I was
01:29
getting tips of others before I thought about England going to win, and I'm thinking two,
01:34
after they've gone to the final, third time lucky. You told me off camera you've had a
01:41
good tip, what's the score going to be? Now I've had two votes, two to one, England,
01:48
Trap Corner Insurance did by two to one Spain as well. What do you think the score's going
01:57
to be? Look, it was 11 to 4 when I got the last numbers for England to win the Euros
02:07
outright, that was the top of the week. Do you think England will win, yes or no? Yes
02:13
I do. Good. There you are. It's going to be a fever pitch on Sunday isn't it? It's going
02:17
to be mental in here, anything from the last games in here, it's going to be crazy in here,
02:22
absolutely crazy. How's it been the tournament for you so far in terms of numbers of people?
02:27
It's been very busy, especially the last two games, it's really, really busy. We've had
02:32
the music going before the games, putting in all the old England tunes, especially when
02:39
we're scoring in the last minutes, the place just erupts, it goes mental. Of course you're
02:44
responsible for putting the tunes on, so you've got them all lined up, the three lions?
02:48
It's all ready, three lions, Shades of England, it's all there. So the beer's been delivered
02:54
here, we've seen a big screen TV being delivered for the occasion on Sunday, so it's going
03:00
to be a big one on Sunday. What time are you on from? We start at about five o'clock, there's
03:05
a free buffet on as well, the music on all night then. Good stuff, and what about you,
03:12
you're a football fan yourself? Massive. What's your prediction for Sunday? 3-1. Good stuff,
03:19
come on England. I'm here with John Constable who's created this artwork at the Billy Wright
03:27
pub out the back, how are you doing John? Same. Obviously a big Wolves fan looking at
03:32
the shirt, tell us a little bit about this creation here. When the play's out I'll just
03:39
do it to your name, but Wolves fans, and as I say it's been all over the world, Netherlands,
03:46
it's been everywhere really. Wolves fans all over the world. Thousands of people have had
03:53
their photographs taken here. How long did it take to do? It only took me about half
04:00
an hour to make. OK, but it's an everlasting impression. And as well as being a Wolves
04:06
fan, are you an England fan? Oh definitely. What do you think of the tournament so far?
04:11
Absolutely brilliant. Maybe if we're going to win it, they've got to play the attacking
04:18
maybe in the second half as well and carry on the same, and I think we'll win 3-2. Who's
04:25
been your best player so far? It's got to be Harry Kane. Sorry I'm just a bit nervous.
04:38
No that's fine. Are you going to watch the final? Oh definitely, here at the Billy Wright.
04:43
Go on England then. Yeah, go on England. It's coming home.
04:48
It's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming home. Football's coming home. It's coming home.
