THE nation has gone “big screen crazy” for this summer’s World Cup but do not expect to see a fan park in the conurbation for England’s quarter-final clash on Saturday.

After claiming a dramatic victory on penalties over Colombia on Tuesday, attention has turned to the quarter-final against Sweden.

Just hours on from the memorable win at the Spartak Stadium, a number of supporters were calling for a fan park to be organised for people to come together and back the team.

However, both Bournemouth Borough Council and Borough of Poole said yesterday there were no plans for a big screen to be set up for the match on Saturday afternoon.

Footage of fans celebrating Tuesday’s shootout victory in fan parks across the country have been shared thousands of times on social media.

Paul Hingston, operations director of Bournemouth-based Fonix LED who are one of the leading suppliers of big screens for sporting events, said the company had been flooded by requests with a surge from England’s success.

Fonix LED has provided 14 screen across London, including London Bridge and Tower Bridge and Regents Place, to show the World Cup and Wimbledon matches.

They also were the official screen suppliers for the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The company said many event organisers have been left in “sheer panic” attempting to find a screen and they had been forced to turn requests away due to a shortage of screens.

After seeing the progression of fan parks in Europe over recent years, Mr Hingston said the interest was spiking to new heights in the United Kingdom.

He said: “We have screens all over the country and our phones have not stopped ringing with people looking for a screen. The country has gone big screen crazy.

“It has been a busy year for us and England’s success has added to that recently.”

Possible areas for a big screen in Bournemouth include the beach, Meyrick Park, the town centre gardens and Kings Park, while Poole could host an event at the quay, Falkland Square and Poole Park.
