Non Wembley Goers, where are you watching it?

[Dave Cooper please]

No ticket but I'll be in that there London to meet a few of the good fellows from here. I'll find a pub near our Saturday pre-match meeting place to watch our glorious victory.

Aston Villa v Arsenal: Where to watch the FA Cup Final in Birmingham

For fucks sake, who told those breegs about the Clifden?

It's shit in there, don't bother....

[Holte L2]

My son has to go to Manchester for a friends 21st. Can anyone suggest a good pub where he can watch the final?

The Lost Dene on Deansgate or Mulligans on Southgate (which is just off Deansgate) are both decent for the football; plus there isn't much love for Arsenal round this neck of the woods so most of the locals will be supporting the Villa!

The Walkabout on Quay Street is pretty good for football too.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

If they don't show it in the Bull then I'm going to toss myself off Lakey Hill.

[Small Rodent]

I think I'll be going to The Baring Pub in London managed by a Villa fan.

I could recommend the Captain Kidd or The Town of Ramsgate in Wapping. That way if the worst happens it's just a hop step and a jump and your in The Thames .  Doggets aswell in fact.

I'll be watching it at a Roma-supporting mate's house in Rome.

[Pete]

I'll be watching in my local in Huddersfield, The Fieldhead. Along with Mrs Pete, the toddler and the baby, all in colours (57 shirt for me, last years and this years shirts for the little uns, and my wife likes the European Cup final shirt so will probably wear that). The landlord is a West Ham fan so is going to put up his claret and blue bunting - not so much for us, I think, more to piss off the three Arsenal plastics who drink in there. He can't abide them.

I've got friends round there and they are both nice pubs, there is another one further up toward Canary Wharf that, unbeknown to me, is owned by Gordan Ramsey, I strolled in ordered a couple of ciders, two pints of bitter and a bowl of chips and nearly had a heart attack when I got a bill for more than 30 quid. There is also a good one on Wapping High St, owned by a famous actor who's name escapes me for the moment.

Nice little boozer. The only nod to his presence is a wee statue of Gandalf at the back. Only been there once but it felt like a pub from my youth.

The White Swan in Digbeth? Do what? Going to be full of 'Arsenal' fans in there.

[castlefields_villan]

Anyone else, like me watching on their todd ?

I'm at my holiday place in Wales this week on my own and not going home until Sunday - obviously either delirious, that this long wait is finally over, or in one of those frames of mind when you just don't want to speak to anyone.

[steamer]

Home in Jhbg with family.
Had a ticket offer but want to watch it with my son who could not make the trip.
Was at Wembley in 2000 and missed (my now dead) dad who was there in 57 .
Will be trying to stay calm, go shopping in my 72 shirt in the morning.
Come home, light the Braii. scared that I will be so pissed by kick off (6.30 here) that I miss the nuances of the game.
A bit like the Everton L.C Final 1st game where I collapsed on the floor in a drunken stupor and was woken up and assisted from the ground.
Probably best view of the game.
Seriously, the world will be lit up in all 4 corners of the globe (I know !!!) when the famous Aston Villa lift the cup.
I have booked of Monday to recover.
Come on you Lions.
Big Pete, Roscoe, Bernie, Hickman, Coogan, Kenny, Jammy, Foxy, Paul, Jeff, Miffy, J.B, Whillock, Eddie, Granny, Haddon, Dennis, and all the rest give it big time for me.

I live in north London but want to be surrounded by fellow Villains so am heading to Brum city centre.  Any pub suggestions would be very helpful. Is walkabout any good or somewhere slightly further afield? Thanks
