Watch more of our videos on Shots! and live on Freeview channel 276 From extended hours in pubs to supermarkets shutting early, events around the country are all revolving around one particularly significant game of football. But there's one Shropshire event that is still going ahead , with the organisers of JLS's Summer Hits Tour having football fans choosing between the band and the Three Lions. The band are set to perform in the Quarry in Shrewsbury from 8.
30pm, after a performance from Queen Millz and Tinchy Stryder. Kick-off for the game, as everyone probably now knows, is at 8pm. Since the England team defeated The Netherlands in the semi-final on Wednesday, some JLS ticket holders have been trying to sell their tickets so they can tune into the match.
Others have been making suggestions to allow the best of both worlds. "What about starting early in Shrewsbury on Sunday???" wrote Alipinknails on the band's Instagram page. "Can we have big screens in the Quarry?" asked a user by the name of Emmyg74.
But yesterday a spokeswoman from organisers Kilimanjaro Live said the gig would be going ahead "as per the originally scheduled timings" after they had "explored all available options". They added: "Due to operational restrictions, it isn't possible to move our set times, or screen the match at the event." Reacting to the news, readers have taken to social media to voice their thoughts.
While some have been using platforms to try and sell tickets, others haven't been so fuss.
