Premier League Taking Pubs To Court

[Lazarus]

Just been reading in today's Daily Telegraph Sports Section a piece about EPL engaging in its first attempt to prosecute a pub suspected of showing Football Matches illegally since the infamous Karen Murphy Case.

They are seeking a Summary Judgement against the Rhyddings Hotel in Brynmill, Swansea in the first of up to 100 (Yes, ONE HUNDRED!) cases it plans to bring in England and Wales this season.
