    For whatever reason. I’m thinking of asking the pub next door to me in Wentworth about letting us use the events room to watch the footy.?
    I’m not sure if there’s a not so daft tv up there, but I’ll buy one online, if not. & the legality of buying a 24 hour pass, might be an issue.? I’m not familiar with posh football broadcasting..
    Just a thought. & open it up to Owls n’all? Great beer & good snap available, even for weird vegans, like me.
    Heads up in advance. You could even bring your dogs. But nobody can touch my old lad. &, I mean nobody, no other human in the world, except me. Lest you want to lose a finger.!!
    Just a thought. Probably a non starter, stupid thought. I have loads of them. You need only to ask. :)

    They'll need a license to be able to watch live football in public mate. Usually there's a little pint glass in bottom corner of TVs in pubs to easily prove to inspectors they're allowed to show it as a subscription costs alot more to show there

    It will cost an absolute fortune for them to get a licence to show it

    Does that count if they hired the room as a private party event not open to the public?
    Alternatively get someone down with a sky/virgin pass and you could Bluetooth it to the TV from someone’s phone (apparently).

    You could do it, technically. Everyone turns up. Lock the doors before anyone else turns up who are just there for a drink. Have a lock in - then it could go down as a private viewing :):):cool:

    Not quite sure mate, we've watched stuff in my local years ago but that was actually the building itself locked not just the room. As for Bluetooth, fairly certain its still illegal publicly. One of my old locals had similar and it got massive fine and they've stopped doing it since

    Edit - I assume a private room would be fine, it'd just be like if a landlord lived above his pub watching it. Again though it'd have to be closed to the public

    Just thinking aloud TBH. I know when I worked away a lot the place we used for work regular stopped showing games as Sky reclassified them as a Hotel which meant the licence cost £1000’s a year, I used to use our Virgin account to watch games and movies in my room instead.

    Legally you'd still need a sky sports public subscription (or whatever it's called) because you can't get a domestic subscription for a pub for obvious reasons
    Butttt at the same time who would ever know if they didn't advertise it?

    Honestly if you could get enough people from here to do it I reckon you'd all be fine (if pub landlord are willing ofcourse). Just wouldn't put it around Facebook etc

    Its ok if you're really unlucky they'll get the right place but raid the wrong pub, if you're lucky they'll raid the place they play golf

    I’m just not leaving my old dog alone all day,mate. If that’s being an uncommitted part timer, then my hands are directly up..
    Just what comes with elderly rescue Jack Russells. I’ve looked after 4 in the last 5 years, seeing out their last bits of life.
    Sorry, I’ve had a beer & getting sentimental. Missing my Mam.:)

    No need to apologise, mate. Bigger things in life than attending football matches, especially when you can still watch them at home! Sorry about yer mam, I wouldnt have known what to do these last few years without mine. She will be smiling down on ya being mass proud, especially when it comes to what you're doing with the dogs :)
