FC fan in London in need of a pub that shows the Sky games! : Mon Mar 11, 2013 1:30 pm  

I've been living in in London about 6 months now and I'm yet to find a pub that shows rugby league. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
Looking forward to my first visit to the Stoop when we play you in a few weeks!!
How is Tommy Lee playing for the Broncos so far? I've followed his career since he left us and I hope it works out for him down here.

The Hope on the corner of Whitfield Street and Tottenham Street, by Tottenham Court Road, W1, shows games on friday and saturday nights. Kiwi guvnor who likes his RL.

I'm not in London but these threads pop up alot and the first reply is always "where in London?" so that might be a start...

As for Lee he's been okay, one of the better ones in a bad bunch.

I've heard about the Hope before but guess with the England v Wales RU match at the same time as our game with Huddersfield they are moe likely to show the union. I might ring and ask.

I live North East London so the Finsbury Park option could be a good one!

Tommy Lee seems to be going Ok - pity he never fulfilled all the promise at FC, but unfortunately he was over-hyped as the next messiah and couldn't live up to that.
Solid player

Yes when we was with us it seemed to me we couldn't make up our minds whether he should be a half back our a hooker and he seemed to have that utility value at the time but we had so many players like that then I lost count.

By the way do we know where Will Sharp has gone? As far as I'm aware he hasn't got a deal yet. Would you have him back at the Broncos?

Looking forward to my first visit to the Stoop. What's the car parking like near the ground?

I wouldn't have Sharp back as we're okay on the wings, Dixon, Robertson & Colbon are all capable so no need to strengthen there.
