Does anyone know of any boozers around Solihull, b'ham that would show the match on Saturday?

British Oak, Pershore Road, Stirchley.

Gonna pop up for sure as need to see Opening day

Yes. No problems with colours.

Talking of watching it on foreign streams....heard a piece on R5 yesterday saying there's going to be another big crackdown on watching online via illicit streams.  So before I ask 'has anyone got a decent link' tomorrow, does anyone use Villa Streams/is it any good/how much?

£13 for 3 months. It's very good. Used it for a couple of years now.

The Villa boss also confirmed that midfielder Brett Holman has recovered from the ankle injury he sustained while on international duty with Australia against Scotland during the week.

He added: “Brett Holman’s fine and I think that he was taken off as a precaution.  Gabby Agbonlahor, Marc Albrighton and Richard Dunne are still out. Chris Herd trained yesterday and he is fine but Nathan Delfouneso is a doubt.”

I'll take a draw. 1-1 I feel.

Feel better reading that. 

The heat will be a factor tomorrow, supposed to be around 30c in London.

That's that plan buggered then.  Looks like it'll be back to 'anyone got a decent link'

Flashsportsstreams.com - I use it for midweek games and away games i dont go to.....quality bang on. It does cost for a full year, will set you back £39.99 but you can subscribe for a shorter period to see if it suits you. I occasionally use it to watch Sky Atlantic programmes. Virtually every premier gme screened......have a look!!! West ham game on!!!!

[CJ]

Nice one PGW - I'll give it a whirl.  May see what coverage there is for West Ham tomorrow first.

How did you manage that, atomicjam?  I just tried by clicking the "Not registered yet? Signup here" link on the site and got a "Sign Up's are closed" message.  Any ideas?
