The Great Drinkell 51 Posted March 30, 2010 Does anybody on here live in Leicester and know of any pubs - preferably out of town and on the east side of the city - that will be showing the game as I will find myself here on Friday night. The alternative will be to travel to Tranmere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blofield Canary 12 Posted March 30, 2010 The Oadby Owl on the A6 going out of the city shows Sky Sports. Can''t guarantee they have the city match though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blofield Canary 12 Posted March 31, 2010 The Great Drinkel - I''ll be at Tranmere. My daughter is a student at University of Leicester and lives in Halls at Oadby which is how I know about the pub. You live in Leicester? Often call in at Oadby to pick her up for away games. If I have space in the car you are always welcome to join us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 51 Posted March 31, 2010 A lovely offer Jbg and one that is appreciated, I actually live in Norfolk but the in laws and family live in Leicester. Unfortunately my nephew had a bit of a spill on his bike and has been in hospital so we are calling back to see him and the family for a few days.- My sister has sky but she''s going away on holiday so am stuck on where to watch the match.Enjoy Tranmere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
