Notes to Editors:


Sports Cafe Holdings plc (formerly Coliseum Group plc), which floated on AIM in
2001, owns and operates the Sports Cafe chain, a leading licensed sports
entertainment venue. The opening of Sports Cafe Bristol during 2006 brings the
number of operating venues in the UK to eight, including London, Liverpool,
Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow Newcastle and Birmingham, while a new site at Cardiff
and is currently in development.


The flagship venue in London's Haymarket is viewed as one of the UK's premier
sports restaurant and entertainment facilities. The Sports Cafe brand
capitalises on the UK consumers' passion for sport and the Board's strategy is
to continue to develop a portfolio of Sports Cafe units, offering access to a
wide range of UK and international sports, and to offer additional sports
related services appealing to broad customer base.


Sports Cafe caters to a wide audience, from sporting enthusiasts to late-night
party goers to office and family functions, by way of multiple plasma and super
screens, pool tables and its late-night licence.


The increased size of the group and the continuing benefit of its focus on
sporting events has enabled Sports Cafe to attract consistently large audiences
and maintain their position at the premium end of the market. The continuing
expansion into new locations throughout the UK will enhance the brand as a
leader in its field.
