FA CUP Final - I'm in BOSTON, USA

[Andyo]

:confused: Well Darn!,

I've got a training course and I'm gonna be in BOSTON, USA on cup final day. Now I've been so busy supporting the gooners that I've never even looked that side of the pond (been to Europe a few times...) anyway, looking here I notice that some Americans have not only taken to "soccer" but even to my beloved Arsenal!

So please can someone help me... Where in Boston can I watch the game??? I want to wear my shirt and scream at a tv!! Please help!!

I'm in the same boat...I'll be in Boston for a cousin's graduation and definitely need to find a place to watch the game with some Arsenal fans.

I can't speak for Boston, but hop on the T and cross the river into Cambridge....the Phoenix Landing is a great place to catch any Arsenal game.

The flat-screen TV to patron ratio must be like 2 : 1. Hard to argue with that.

[Andyo]

Sounds like a good plan...

Spike, do you want to find somewhere to watch the game together??? At least I will (kind) of know someone...

Post a message on the New England Revolution board in the MLS section, I'm sure you'll find plenty of people who are watching the game.

Phoenix Landing always shows games, as does the Common Ground pub in Allston.

Andyo,

Phoenix Landing sounds like the place to go and it's only a couple miles from my hotel.

512 Mass. Ave
Central Square, Cambridge
617-576-6260

I'll probably try to get there around 9. I'll have the red O2 jersey and a blue UK - University of Kentucky baseball hat on.

Just fyi - I think it'll probably be $20 to watch the game.

[Andyo]

$20, worth every penny!!!

ok - I'll be there. I'll be wearing this years home shirt. Erm I'll get there just before 9am and hang around outside at 8.45. I'll look out for your cap!

Does anyone know what satellite provider is carrying the game? Someone on another board (MUFC) said Setanta but they don't list it.

I'm trying to find a place to watch the game in Louisville, KY (I'm going to need some luck).

Thanks.

It is listed on their website. Poor site design makes it a bit tricky to find but you can see it listed here (http://www.setanta.com/content/setanta/na/cms.nsf/systemcontent/tvschedule?open&action=specialevents&)

Here is what I found searching for Louisville, KY 40232:

Sometimes Setanta's own website is wrong. You should call to confirm that any of these places are actually showing the game. They also sometimes fail to list places that have the games so you might find something closer. It is also available to residential customers through some cable (and I'm guessing satellite) systems for about $25.
