After suffering the Middlesbrough game in a pub in Cirencester which had more people watching the Man U game, the thought of watching the Sheffield Wednesday game in similar company feels me with dread.

So, for anyone in the area who like me can't make the game but can't stand the thought of watching it with the 'it's only a game wife' the recently refurbished Royal Oak in Kenilworth has the game on the big screen as promised by the landlord [MENTION=4815]seagully[/MENTION] [MENTION=5196]Since1982[/MENTION]

I'll be the nervous looking Vincent Van Der Voort lookalike in the corner.

Thanks! I'll tell my son. He lives in Leamington so may well want to come over. This is the Friday game yes? He is considering driving back for the Monday game.

My brother left 2 pubs in Cirencester because they were on showing the Man U game.

I was in the Wheatsheaf. Man u game was on the big screen. Our game was on a small one, non HD with a faulty cable to the sky box. I frequently confused Goldson and Greer. That's how shit the reception was.

I would have joined you but I have a few mates coming over to my house in Warwick. Not sure what I will do IF we make the final

Bring em down the pub. A recently refurbished pub needs beer up the wall. Especially the oak.

Tempting. Was gonna watch it on Warwick Uni campus but would rather be with other fellow Albion fans considering I'm not even a student anymore.

Since1982 · May 11, 2016

My son is a student at Warwick but they showed the Man U game last weekend. Shocking.

Iggle Piggle · May 11, 2016

The oak is even on the x17 bus route from coventry >warwick uni > leamington. What's not to like?

seagully · May 12, 2016

I'm tempted to head over- possibly for the Monday game as I'm WFH that day. Work down in London so will probably not get home in time to head over for the Friday game- will be nervously watching that one at home..

Edit- just re-read the thread properly. Might try to head over tomorrow- depends on trains etc.

Iggle Piggle · May 12, 2016

Come on seagully. You know it makes sense.

Since1982 · May 13, 2016

So my son is planning to be there tonight wearing his stripes. Hope its a noisy evening in the pub!

Shooting Star · May 13, 2016

I'll be there too - UTA!

Iggle Piggle · Oct 10, 2016

Just as a bump whilst I spend my evening in the world's most depressing hotel (It's in Crewe and they are playing COUNTRY AND WESTERN FFS)

The oak is continuing to show Albion games even on the 5.30 kick off with 2 x Sky connections. The Villa game on Friday 18th Nov is next. Hope to see a few of you there.

Just a bump for anyone in the area. Checked with Aaron who runs the Royal Oak In Kenilworth and it'll be on tonight.

Would head down but dry January coupled with getting back from work in London means I'll probably end up watching at home. Keep the bumps coming for future games though!

Friday night games aren't great for viewing. The Oak used to be dead but since the refurbishment it's busy - As someone who has drunk down there and been the only one in the pub that is a shock to the system.

Wandered to the Engine fir the 2nd half which is busier but better.
