Missed Out on Tickets? Then Find the Best Pubs Showing the 2012 Games With MatchPint's Free iPhone App!
LONDON, July 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
This summer, use MatchPint the perfect app for finding your nearest pubs showing the
Olympics [http://www.matchpint.co.uk/watch-live-the-olympics ] for your favourite events.
With just a few days to go until the start of the biggest sporting event in a
generation, thousands of non-ticket holding types are beginning to ponder where they are
going to be enjoying this historic British summer.
The pub talk has already started - How many records will Bolt break this time? Have
Sir Chris Hoy's thighs got even bigger? And more importantly, how will I know which pubs
are showing all this mouth-watering action?
Well with MatchPint, the UK's number one sports pub finder, it couldn't be easier to
look up a local pub. The free iPhone app tells punters exactly which pubs are showing
which events - from the rowing to the relays - making it one of the best apps for use
during the Olympics on the market. MatchPint will also tell you how close the pub is,
whether the commentary will be on, if the action is in HD or 3D and even whether or not it
has a beer garden for you to relax and soak up the (hopefully) sunny weather. What could
be better?
To download the free iPhone app, simply search for "MatchPint" in the App store, or
click here [http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/matchpint/id502468923?mt=8 ]. Those without
iPhones can garner the same information by visiting the website,
http://www.matchpint.co.uk.
With information on which pubs are showing which specific events, MatchPint is one of
the must have apps in London this summer. Punters without tickets to the 100m final won't
want to walk into a pub only to find that the landlord has the Rhythmic Gymnastics on
instead. With pub landlords updating their own fixture schedules, punters can be sure that
their chosen sport will be on the TV when they walk in.
As well as helping you find your nearest pub for a spot of the action, MatchPint is
publishing a series of blogs giving you the low down on what to expect from each sport.
Unlike the sort of intros you'll see on the BBC and in the broadsheets, each blog has
its own MatchPint spin whether that's listing some key pub facts to help you dominate
conversation over a pint - "Steve Redgrave took two years out of Rowing after his second
Gold medal to try his hand at Bob-sleighing
[http://www.matchpint.co.uk/about-matchpint-olympics-rowing-and-doing-the-hard-yards-96 ]"
- running through some great skirmishes in the Games' history - "in 1924, at least two
Fencing bouts developed into real life duels over matters of honour
[http://www.matchpint.co.uk/about-matchpint-olympics-fencing-and-the-art-of-a-duel-94 ]" -
and drawing analogies between major sports and trashy U.S. teen dramas - "Water Polo and
Blood in the O.C.
[http://www.matchpint.co.uk/about-matchpint-olympics-water-polo-and-blood-in-the-o-c-88 ]".
So whether it's a local pub you're after, or just an entertaining introduction into a
sport you're off to catch, either visit the website or download one of best apps available
for London 2012.
