Title: Pubs showing the Albion Game?
Post by: Barry Shaw on April 26, 2012, 07:18:57 PM
As the title suggests...does anybody know of any pubs showing the game in South Brum? Will travel to other areas if there are other places showing it.

Cheers

If you hop the train to Stourbridge then the labour in vain by the station is showing it. As is the cross which is just up the road.

Does anybody know if it's actually on in Roccoco? last time I rang up (arsenal away I think) they weren't showing it.

I rung up Rococo before the Liverpool away game and they said they could not get it. I watched it in The Boot in Sutton in the end which was really busy.

Plenty of pubs in West Brom, but you might not want to watch it there!

The Cross doesn't show games anymore, used to be a favourite of mine.   The gaffer has moved a couple of miles to The Brittania in Wollaston and that pub IS showing the game.

Don't think it's as easy for pubs, to get the Saturday 3pm kick offs, as it used to be.   The gaffer of the Brittania was telling me a lot of the time it is pot luck, unless it's being shown on Setanta Ireland in which case they can get that no bother.

Of course if we go down, we won't have this problem next season as not many Championship games are shown on foreign satellites :-(

They have all Villa games on, according to the Poster. Can non-members go in on non-match days?

I rang them and some Spanish sounding lady answered and said it wasn't on. I'll ring back. I have also checked the British Oak in Stirchley and they weren't sure but didn't think it was showing. I'll see if I can find somewhere in Bromsgrove that have it on as not far from me.

I got through to Rococo, they aren't showing. Wonder why they've stopped showing the Villa games.

So that's me fecked then unless anyone knows any other city center pubs showing it?
Title: Re: Pubs showing the Albion Game?
Post by: SoccerHQ on April 27, 2012, 09:02:55 PM
Sutton pubs will certainly have it on, can always hope on a train (although I believe the Gate Inn has closed again).

That's another thing we taken for granted, most 3pm away games being shown live that will disappear if we go down to the championship.
Title: Re: Pubs showing the Albion Game?
Post by: Smoke on April 27, 2012, 09:40:37 PM
Where's everyone going then?

I didnt know behan's showed the games. I normally go to Rococco, might try Behan's if it's any good.

The pubs aren't showing it because the 3:00 matches are now restricted thanks to some case won by Sky I think after the victory by that woman in Portsmouth. I subscribe to LiveOnlineFooty and they usually show Villa games but it is not scheduled tomorrow.  At 3:00 they have Stoke v Arsenal and Wigan v Newcastle.

Scb (station cafe and bar)  Dorridge, right next to the station.  Been showing all villa games recently.

This is the case now. Only one 3pm game can be screened on a Saturday. Unless we're picked (which were not today) then were pretty screwed.

I've never watched the villa in there but know one or two who do, and who should be in there today, and they say it's good.  Come out the station, turn left and it's about 50 yards.  Used to be a bank.  Been converted into cafe/bar about 8 months.

Although you have to wonder if people are still able to get the games, which it appears some are, then by next season places like liveonline footy will likely update their equipment to get the games from wherever they are coming from.
