Watching Blackpool v Saints in Rome

[saints_is_the_south]

This is really for the attention of suewhistle, but if anybody else can answer too then great!

 

Basically, me and a couple of lads will be in Rome the weekend we play Blackpool live on the beeb. I believe some channels in Italy show Championship football (Sport Italia I think!), so what chance of finding somewhere to watch the game live and what channel would itbe likely to be on.

 

Cheers

Plenty of Irish bars in Rome so they'll be your best bet.

Most of them I have already visited, been to Rome about 10 times! If there are any Premiership games on at the same time then we'll have no chance, which given that Sky Italia show a lot of English football is likely.

Only just seen this, sorry! According to the listings they're showing serie B Inglese at 18.00 on SportItalia 2. Not sure what competition for the screens there will be, but if you're a group and nice and friendly and promise to buy quite a few beers... I'll be trying down the Gecko bar in my town where I last saw Saints against Man U. It was on one of the pay as you go channels and I said "I'll pay, I'll pay!!" but they didn't charge.

 

Good luck, and hope you find somewhere.
