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!

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.

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?

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.
