I could watch the game at home (let's face it, it will be on tellybox), but I don't want to. I could watch it in a myriad of pubs across Sussex but most of them will be populated bandwagonjumperonners who are there just because of the prospect of Prem football and the intrigue of could they get a ticket to see their adopted big club at The Amex.

What I really want is to watch it in a pub full of proper Albion fans who actually get to see most home games. Watching at The Amex would be OK, but maybe not enough spit and sawdust, so any suggestions or can NSC be the catalyst to arranging something? Somewhere in Brighton or Hove would be preferable.

Where I'll be: the Hiker's Rest. Proper Albion pub, plenty of hardcore supporters there

Same the big screen on the seafront can't show it.

This ties in with the thread about fair-weather fans. If they irritate you so much, it'll only get worse if we actually make it to the Premier League.

I thought all the final games are non-televised 3pm kick offs to ensure no team gets any kind of advantage on the final day. If that's the case it won't be on the TV anywhere.

I might come across as naive here, but how would any team get an advantage by having their game shown live, whilst all the other games are also in play at the same time?

Like the idea from the OP as well.

Need a big pub or a couple of decent sized ones and see if we can book it out.
Hikers is always good for East Brighton.

Don't think there's a good alternative for Hove - maybe Blind Busker could be booked out or whatever the place is called by the Lagoon.

Nobody mention a curry though, k lol x

Do Sky only get to pick one game or can they have 2 or 3 to show at the same time on different channels?

I think the only Premier League game that will be at that time is Man United v Norwich which no doubt they'll be showing, even though it's a bit of a dead duck, so does this mean they'd only pick one Championship game to show? And if so, when do they announce it?

The only way it's not going to be us is perhaps if circumstances dictate that we need only play out a bore draw to ensure both us and Boro go up, in which case perhaps the cameras would follow Burnley's trip to the Valley in the hope of seeing some goals. Although even in that situation it's dumb not to show us

Ok I got the timings wrong they are all 12.30pm kick offs. I genuinely didn't think any of them were televised though smartarse.

Sky choose 2 to be televised I believe. Would imagine now it'll be ours along with Charlton vs burnley

Norwich v man Utd is on BT sport

Any pub in Brighton that decides to show Norwich v Man Utd should be shamed and boycotted for a decade.
