A pub's clever promotion to give away free pints every time Nottingham Forest scored a goal backfired over the weekend when the team won 7-0.
The atmosphere in The Gedling Inn, in Nottingham, on Saturday was like a World Cup final, said landlady Beccy Webster as Forest scored seven goals against Brighton.
The pub had advertised the generous incentive to promote screenings of the games - but the deal ended up costing more than planned as it gave away 300 pints.
Ms Webster, 37, told The Independent she did breathe a sigh of relief when the whistle blew, but said she was glad to give something back to patrons and fans.
