GPCharles? Username checks out. You're King Charles, aren't you? You have a secret house in Grosse Pointe where you do weird, unholy things with Camilla, don't you???

Camilla taught Charles everything he knows.

I'd call around and confirm.

Might want to be *quite* specific about the kind of "football" you're trying to watch. Have had that bit of confusion in the past with some of my UK colleagues. Mock arguments followed, but we had fun arguing...
December 27th, 2022 at 3:59 PM ^
A lot of the reviews there specifically mention US college football. He just has to ask if they will be showing the Michigan game.
December 27th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
While this is typically the case, I'm not sure there's going to be much competition for a game kicking off at 9PM London time...
December 27th, 2022 at 3:46 PM ^
Pretty easy google or Facebook search will get you what you’re looking for. I looked on the UM London Alumni Club’s Facebook page and it looks like a place called Passyunk Fitzrovia will be showing the game. Looks like it’s going to be £100 to get in based on the comments on the thread, but all you can eat/drink.

I was in London this year, watched the PSU game at Passyunk Ave in Waterloo with the Michigan Alumni folks who I connected with via the London Alumni Association’s Facebook page. Had a good turnout. It was the official place to watch the game with the Alumni Association. Passyunk Ave is a bar (duh) located off this artistic underground tunnel (I know- sounds weird, but it was cool). They showed the game on a projector screen downstairs and another one upstairs, too. Here’s a link from google maps.

There's a 'University of Michigan Alumni UK' page on facebook and it looks like they've been talking about a watch party.
December 27th, 2022 at 3:47 PM ^
The old Mgoblog humblebrag whilst incompetent tradition…
There is a thing called the alumni association that has watch…
Forget it, I’ll be on my global express going to dive the Galapagos, anyone know how to stream satellite while in flight?!

Ah, yes, the traditional OMHWIT.

You can piggyback off my yacht's Starlink connection. We'll be anchored at Puerto Lopez, Ecuador and you should be ok until the curvature of the earth blocks our signal.
December 27th, 2022 at 7:11 PM ^
What is this curvature of the earth that you speak of?

We found Kyrie's MGoBlog account!!!

If he's trying to brag, he's doing a poor job. London is a relatively cheap and short flight, and traveling there is basically like going to America with an accent.
Now, if he was flying to the Maldives in a suite on Emirates Air with a team of Eastern European "models" and needed to find a place to watch the game in Male... Now THAT would be a humble brag...
December 27th, 2022 at 9:23 PM ^
Speaking of which….any suggestions?
December 29th, 2022 at 3:14 PM ^
Actually? I think just lamenting the need to get new carpeting for the G650ER would surpass that minor bit about flying commercial on Emirates Air ...

Contact this woman. She'll know.
December 27th, 2022 at 11:04 PM ^
Make sure you have protection before you contact "this woman"!
December 27th, 2022 at 4:45 PM ^
We should have a watch thread in different cities since the sticky hasn’t been updated in sometime.
Along those lines, any recommendations for Mexico City?
December 27th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
And once again, username checks out.

Belushi’s is an American style sports bar chain in London. I’d guess they’d be showing it but I would check ahead to be sure. You also will likely need to reserve a table.
December 27th, 2022 at 11:20 PM ^
At least you have the chance of finding an establishment at which to watch the game. 10 months ago we booked a New Years Eve cruise of the western Caribbean. We'll be traversing the Gulf of Mexico at the kick off. British registered ship, little chance of catching a satellite feed of ESPN.

The alumni group has plans to watch the game in the Bullpen area at Passyunk Avenue in Fitzrovia (as stated elsewhere). However, they have now arranged so that the event is free and also that they will have the sound for the game on.

Was in London for a week in October. Went to the Kings Sports Bar at the Empire Casino on Leicester Square. They put the Guardians-Yankees ALCS game on for us.
