Playoff final in Chicago?

[Servo]

I'm going to be in Chicago for the playoff final(and USA-England) and was wondering where the best place to watch would be. The Setanta website gives a few choices, but I was hoping to go to a bar where it's not just me and the bartender.

Until Fox Soccer Channel announces its intention to televise the game, those Setanta-friendly pubs listed on the website will probably be your only option, I would think.

FSC televised the game last year, so I am hopeful they will do so again come May 30. If not, it's off to the local Setanta bar for me too, which is fine as well.

Servo - I plan on being at the Globe on Monday

When West Ham matches have been televised this year, the turn out has been good. Last year, I watched the Final at Ginger's and there were about 10 folks there. As it turned out a loss, I'm changing locations to the Globe this time.

Hope to see you there.

So much for watching it at the local Setanta pub. Most watering holes around here close at 2 am. Even those with late-night cabaret licenses close at 4am.

If it's live on FSC, I'll stay up and watch it at home. If not, I'll watch the replay at Legends in Waikiki. That's if they win, of course.

That's the price of paradise, I suppose.

Speedy, we feel your pain.

FYI, Setanta is availbale on Direct TV now for $12/month.

Am I correct in thinking Fox Soccer Channel broadcasted last year's playoff final against Palace? I could have sworn they did (of course, they were called Fox Sports World then), which is why I'm expecting them to show it this year. Perhaps I'm wrong because I haven't heard a word about them showing it Monday. Help me out, yanks. Someone out there must have a better memory than me

Speedy, I remember that the West Ham-Palace Final was pay per view last year. The year before when Wolves beat Sheffield United was on FSW.

Ah...gotcha. Thanks, JT.
