THERE was much disappointment among England fans in Worcestershire after the national team crashed out of Euro 2016.

Pubs and living rooms were packed across the city to watch Roy Hodgson's side suffer humiliation at the hands of Iceland who delivered a 2 - 1 defeat in Nice, France.

While there may have been much dismay, luckily, there was no disorder with West Mercia Police saying there was no noticeable rise in crime in the county during or following the match.

Superintendent Kevin Purcell said officers had been monitoring and did not see a noticeable impact on disorder or violence anywhere across Worcestershire as a result of the football.

The unfavourable results did not stop some pranksters having a laugh at England's expense wit two handwritten signs appeared overnight on Malvern's branch of frozen food supermarket Iceland.

Taped to the glass doors of the Church Street store, one of the signs advertised free football lessons, and the other advised staff to answer the phone by saying "the frozen food store formerly known as Iceland".

While some could see the funny side, for the county's pubs it means waving goodbye to a much welcomed boost in trade.

Landlord Keith Newby, said The New Inn, Claines, had been packed for every England game.

"The knock on effect is huge - probably a couple of grand a game but lots will still come back to watch the other matches.

"We had about 150 to 200 people in last night - there may have been even more than that, the pub was packed, you couldn't move.

"This is a sports pub and England being knocked out at this stage is just so disappointing but we will get behind Wales now and hopefully help them do their bit.

"I think it has been the season of the underdog, just look at Leicester City, and now it is carrying on to the national tournaments.

"Who would have thought Spain would be knocked out so early?"

Chris and Claire Bull, from The Swan Inn, Barbourne said they did not know what to expect from the tournament as it is their first year of trading.

"We have had a surprise with how many people have come to ours to watch the Euros as we are a bit out of town.

"It has boosted our takings, its just a shame that England are now out of it as we were looking forward to a great Sunday watching their next game against France.

"It's very sad to see England perform no better than kids in the park using jumpers for goals but we will still fly the flag and support Wales for as long as possible.

"There has been lots of interest in all the games and lots of great banter between all and fantastic atmosphere and passion for the game."

At The Pavilion, near to Cripplegate Park, fans were disappointed with England's performance.

Chloe Spring, 24, said: "All these commentators say we have had so many chances and we are so unlucky but it's nothing to do with luck.

"We create our own chances but don't finish them."

David Walker, aged 21, said: "That's the worst England performance since I was born. Vardy was brought on too late. We had no pace or haste."

Jonny Allen, also aged 21, said: "I don't know what to say, I think our game was lost in the defence but it's 75 per cent Roy's fault.

"We don't feel Vardy had much of a chance today. I would have had him on at the start. We love Vardy and Rashford."

Iceland will now go on to face host nation France at the Stade de France on Sunday, July 3.
