It's pretty much like seeing The Beatles or Pink Floyd. They're the last of the greats. They're great at what they do. They wouldn't still be around if they weren't.

If the demands of the business allow for employees to finish at 5pm to watch the matches, it can be a great morale boosting opportunity.

Planning is critical. . . . Business continuity and contingency planning is what this is all about.

Ultimately, if employees are given the choice to watch key matches it may result in reduced absenteeism and a more responsible approach to personal workloads.
