Cramptons bar staff Paries Smith and Holly Robinson sport the new 3D specs.

Football will take on a whole new dimension for fans in Thanet on Saturday (April 3).

Manchester United's clash with Chelsea -- a crucial game in the race for the Premier League title -- will be shown on 3D screens at Thorley Tavern venues across the isle.

The pub chain has installed 20 of the revolutionary TVs at outlets in Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Kingsgate, and will be supplying fans with special specs.

Craig Knight, operations manager for Thorley's, said: "It's the next best thing to being at Old Trafford! We're proud to be one of the first pub groups in the area to offer the 3D experience to our customers."
