Where are you watching the final (if not at Wembley)?

by The Good Dai Yongge » 17 May 2017 14:17

Unfortunately, I am going to be in Boston, Massachusetts on Monday May 29th, where it isn't even a bank holiday. Is anyone else missing the final due to some stupid hare-brained catastrophic cock-up like this?

Does anyone know what US TV channel is going to be showing the match at 10am Eastern Time? I have researched the sports bars, but can't find a definitive answer to this vital question. Fox Sports? NBC Sports? Bein Sports, whatever that is?

Tintagel, I'm assuming there'll be a pub showing it, otherwise I'll be relying on the cottage wifey being fast enough to watch it on my iPad.

I've known for ages and was quietly resigned to missing it but not too pissed off, but now we're actually in the final I'm a bit gutted tbf tbh

Not a Bank Holiday on the 29th here either but as the game starts at 4pm local time, will knock off early and get to the pub.

Can't get back, so have booked the big outdoor TV and table under the awning at a lovely bar at a nice marina. It is a bank holiday here, so will be there in plenty of time for ko.

I am not remotely worried, I have called every game since Rovrum....and honestly think that with two very evenly matched teams, the difference will be Stam. He ain't done much wrong so far....

Come on you Tinpots!

In my father in laws penthouse in Ipanema.

No holiday here so I'm going to have to take a day off work, especially as the game starts at 11 in the morning. Here's hoping I'll be able to see the screen through the smokey haze, and win or lose the game will be followed by a boozey lunch.

Really looking forward to it.

Cannot get the staff so having a promotion party here. 2.50 per pint, free shots every time Reading score, goalscorer sweepstake, flags, Lady Thai on jukebox! Slight problem, I am the only Royal in town, who cares, cheap beer! 40 mins after final whistle, Karaoke and disco!

Can't see any possible problems with that, not like BT would have done anything as foolish as spunking away billions on champions league and premier league rights whilst not bothering to update rural broadband like they were supposed to do.

My daughter and a few fellow Royals she has met up with in Atlanta will be watching it at The Brewhouse (provided they can get them to open up that early). http://www.brewhousecafe.com/

Apparently Bein Sports has a tv channel and a web streaming service. The home semi final was on both, the away leg only the web stream. Haven't heard who is covering the final yet.

Interrupted our family holiday in North Devon so that my son and I could catch the train up to see the opening match at The Mad Stad. Regret missing the PL Game v Middlesbrough due to a holiday in Greece.

That's good to know the semi-final was on Bein Sports, even if only on streaming for one of the legs, so hopefully it will be shown. Trouble is, we fly in the night before, so there's not a lot of time to find out once we're there. If you do find out who's covering the final, please post on here. Thanks.

I'll be watching it in a bar in Suzhou, China. It's Dragon Boat Festival so I have the Tuesday off too so I can really enjoy myself now considering it's a 10pm ko here :D Much easier than 2:45 am for the second leg on Wednesday morning.

I might give Wembley a miss and come to yours, that sounds like cracking fun to me!

We should have a play-off final picture thread, wherever in the world you are, if everyone's not too drunk to take a pic of course.

For the Arsenal game a largish contingent of the Viking Royals came over from various parts of Scandinavia. Not sure whether they are coming over this time, but I have no doubt in Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen and points in between there will be blond haired titans roaring us on......

Need to find a bar in Fuerteventura as we're away. We might stand a chance without me at Wembley this time
