A Nottinghamshire pub's clever marketing ploy has ended in disaster after Nottingham Forest's 7-0 win triggered a flood of free pints. The Gedling Inn's promotion aimed to attract football fans by offering a free pint for every goal scored by the Reds, but the team's landslide victory has left the pub facing a huge bill. The pub had started televising local Premier League matches to draw in customers, but this promotion has become a costly mistake. With the rise of sports betting and online streaming, pubs are getting creative to stay ahead, but this stunt has certainly backfired. Football scores and pub promotions can be a risky mix, as this Nottingham pub has learned the hard way.
