SimonVilla Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Alright lads, Maybe not the right place to put this, but anyway. Just moved down to London (for my sins). Does anyone know of any Villa pubs (longshot) or alternatively just anywhere that will tend to show all the 3 o'clock kickoffs (I'm thinking something like Rococo's). If all else fails I guess I can pop in and watch it with Davey C or Mervyn. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Which part of London? There are loads of pubs that show the 3pm kick offs. The Sports Cafe at Picadilly Circus shows every match in the Premier League live on their screens so if you really want to watch a game it will be on there.

SimonVilla Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Excellent - I'm living south of the river, but was hoping there was the slim chance of uncovering some brummie exiles. Looks like The Baring is the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes. The Baring, Baring Street, Islington. Owner is a Villa fan. Do they show all the Villa games? That pub is feasibly within walking distance of my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have seen some games at Sport Cafè, Piccadilly, but there is much confusion and probably, as I read, The Baring is the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, every game I can I try to go to the Baring. I work at the Rosemary Branch Theatre round the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Famous three kings in West Kensington is good for showing 3pm Prem games and I watched Villa a lot in there last season. The are showing the game this Saturday. Good to hear there's a few pubs dotted around London that show the Villa! I will be sure to cheek them out! Be good to go watch Villa in a pub with some fellow Vtalkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 A bit OT but was their not a law brought in last season that made only 1 selected Premier League game available to show at 3pm, as sportsbar in Dublin used to show Villa everyweek until about March when this was explained by the barman to me. or maybe it was just they didnt want to show Ecks Dutch tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have noticed since, certain pubs still show the games (i.e. the one I mentioned above has about 6 perm games on this saturday at 3pm) although some may be via streams rather than direct foreign channels. It definitely took a lull from spring last year but hopefully pubs will still show them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 yeah I remember Villa was on most weeks and then it was stopped because of that, am sure it happened around the Chelsea game at VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 There is a pub called The Albion near my place in East London which is actually a dedicated West Brom pub. Totally random. It's full of Baggies doing their "Baggy Boing Boing" dance when ever West Brom score. They show all the West Brom games live but also usually a second 3pm match, and seeing as they enjoy watching Villa lose it's often us that they put on I've watched us there quite a few times, good beer as well.
