James Lamplugh, Group Sales, and Marketing Director at Reapp said; “What our latest data shows is that as hype increases over England’s success, sales of snacks and beer are going up and up as fans look to celebrate. With the cost of living crisis biting, and Christmas just a few weeks ago, we are seeing how football fans have switched from watching the World Cup in their favourite pub, to keeping warm and cosy from the comfort of their own sofa.”
