Sky and the new season.

BensGrandad · Jul 29, 2016

With the season fast approaching I am looking for a pub to watch the away games that are on Sky starting with Newcastle. I would imagine most that have sky and food will be busy. Looked at The Grenadier at Hangleton or a few in and around London Rd do they get very busy? Would think those in Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill do?
Any suggestions?

That is where I found the Grenadier but my question really is to ask anybody which get busy or rammed so no seats. The standard or choice of food is secondary to being able to watch the game.

Dont go to away games anymore due to inconsiderate fans wanting to stand, which is their choice but puts me off attending away matches.

Have you ever had Sky? If so do you still have the dish up? If so, use the above Amazon link and buy yourself a Zgemma box.

Depends what you're after. Beer, atmosphere, good view of the screen, etc etc.

Brighton is shit for football pubs.

I had sky some years ago and still have the digibox but never had a dish it ws transmitted through a communial aerial.

Why not buy a Now TV pass for 6.99 (24 hours) or 10.99 (7 days) and watch it on your PC? I'm not 100% but you may be able to watch it via a tablet as well.

Shame. The Zgemma box would save you a small fortune.

I couldn't recommend The Grenadier - so rough that they have door staff even at lunch time. Last time I went there to watch the football there was a good old fashioned punch up ! Food's pretty poor as well. Phone The Neville and see if they are showing the match - a very nice pub.

I'll plead ignorance ... are you saying you can get Sky Sports with this box? Or any other Sky channels? I've just ditched Sky, but never had the sports or movies.

On the other hand, my local sports bar sells beer at £1.99 a pint.

It's a free to air box *cough* I can't condone any person that uses the box for any other purpose *cough* *cough* :thumbsup:

Around Hove station, The Station, Exchange and Hove Park Tavern all have Sky.

That's what I did for the Shef Wed away leg and plan to do for most televised away games this season. Plus the odd day of test cricket.

Not the same atrmosphere as a pub but more comfortable and cheaper than buying a couple of pints in a boozer. Works on the TV if you have Freeview and a smart TV

Plus you get to see whatever else you want for the other 22 hours
