I just get the sky sports mobile pass on nowtv and watch on my tablet whenever the playoffs and grand finals come round, only costs a few quid and you can cancel it whenever you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Keith Fowler Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Having recently decided to Leave the Capitol (the Fall, 1981, Rough Trade) I can't say. I never found anywhere that would show an RL game but I would expect given it's the NRL somewhere in Clapham will be having it on. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 It’s worth ringing a few pubs with sky sports near where you’re staying, it’s not like they’ll be busy in the morning, or there’ll be any football on, so most places will probably put it on for you.

Jamesthepratt Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Pretty terrible bar but might be worth trying Belushi’s in Hammersmith - they normally play SOO and have a fair few Aussies in there for that. At least they used to pre pandemic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsehhh Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Some good advice above. Anywhere SW or west really, where there are large Aussie communities. Ealing, west acton, Hammersmith, Clapham. I was in the Ram Inn in SW18 on Sunday for the F1. Provided there is no footy on, upstairs will show any sport you want. The owner is really friendly, maybe worth phoning to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Do "Walkabout" pubs still exist anywhere? If they do then surely there must be some in the smoke.

It's on Main Event so any pubs/bars that are open at that time of the morning and normally show Sky will have it on. The hard part, given the time of day, may be locating someone who knows how to use the Sky remote. 1 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

EastLondonMike Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 There’s a sports bar and grill in Farringdon and one in Marylebone. Sure both will show it. If it’s a live sport event being shown on TV they’ll have it on. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Davo5 Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Gould is embarrassing with his biased commentary,didn’t realise Penrith were playing themselves,similar to last years game where they were the best team in the first have despite being 20pts down.

Dunbar Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I enjoyed the game but it was massively spoiled by the commentary. We complain about ours but Ray Warren is two plays behind describing the action and then goes off on massive tangents on where players live or went to school while important plays are happening. And when he isn't speaking it is Gould who's only objective in the game is to prove himself right in whatever he has previously said or predicted. The guy is so far up himself I'm surprised he hasn't disappeared. So glad we only have them on Sky Sports for State of Origin and the Grand Final and Fox are there the rest of the time. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.
