Blue Bell in Sandyford was always my decent option but no idea if they still show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a case of trying a few and chancing your luck. Typically it's usually pubs and clubs outside of the city centre where you have the best chance of finding somewhere showing it.

Having lived away for years I have to rely on word of mouth through old mates etc to see if anywhere is showing it and can't find any city centre venues. I'm up for the Palace game and if I can't get a ticket I'll probably go to Shearers,that's why I'm asking if it gets mobbed and you need to be there early Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first went to shearers I thought it was amazing, all decked out in giant quality images of shearer, toon memorabilia everywhere, classy chrome finishes with nice clean tables. Then Ashley stripped it and turned it into what looked like a giant bookies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrone Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Shearers isnt that bad now, if you can get in and get a "booth" at the back up the stairs, you have your own TV and they are a load quicker at serving than what you get at Shark Club tbh.

It’s a working men’s club so there’s currently some ambiguity on who is liable as the steward / licensee are claiming they didn’t know it was being screened. we had a fundraiser to try and help them pay for the fine with Micky Quinn back in May was a canny night. I know lots of pubs have been warned off - the risks of showing it are getting too big for most against the reward when everyone has iptv and most of our games seem to be legally televised (in the UK) anyway these days .

Whitley mag Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Reuben’s/PIF should buy that land as a back up plan if nowt else. No guarantee SJP can be redeveloped and land in vicinity of City Centre is non existent for a stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
