Where can I watch the GF around the world? 2013 Edition

[hackysack86]

Anyone watching the game at a pub in Geneva, or know what venue is likely to be the best to watch the game?

I have contacted a few sports bars which have confirmed they are showing the game, although I have no idea which bar is likely to be best. Cheers.

Last year someone suggested Saturday, October 1st, 2011 @ 04:30
'The Clubhouse' - Rue Plantamour 25, Paquis, Geneva

But I would ring them and check first.

apparently the pre-game coverage has been dropped for international viewers, it's literally just the 3 hour block for the game itself

 

[seysearles]

For anyone in Sub-Saharan Africa, the game is being shown live on DSTV on Super Sports 1 despite it not appearing in theironline tv guide. I called them up and they confirmed it with me. Coverage starts at 6am Central African Time (CAT). There is also pre-match coverage that starts at 2am. In case you're worried feel free to call Super Sports on +27 (0)11 2892223.

In London.

I'll probably watch it at the Junction just near Highbury and Islington station. Watched yhe Cats win in 11 there. Was a good morning.

I watched the '02 GF in the Walkabout on Shaftesbury. Good atmosphere.

Have watched a few games there. Was great. The Slug in Fulham was the best place to watch footy until it shut.
A lot less places to watch than there used be.

Anybody know of anywhere playing the game in Sligo Ireland? Or anywhere in Ireland?

Unfortunately be stuck at the in-laws house in Germany. Does anybody know if I can get it with the internet on their tv?

Mate's currently traveling round Europe with his misses and will be in Prague this weekend. Anyone know of any local joints that will be screening the game?

They will show it with German commentary on Eurosport 2. Or you could go to http://afltv.afl.com.au/

From my experience their best bet is to hit up an Irish pub (not sure if their is an Australian themed pub in Prague) and ask. There should be enough ex pats there who have enquired. Worked for me in Slovenia and Germany.

Osaka Japan
Our Grand Final Party on Saturday 28th of Sept is the biggest and longest running in Japan. we have 5 TV screens offering an uninterrupted 360 Degree view of the game with full stereo sound. We have 8 different Australian beers, various Australian wines and Bundaberg rum. We have homemade meat pies, and sausage rolls as well as pub favorites chicken parmigiana and fish & chips made with our own special beer batter. After the game live music from Oasis cover band Billy in Ocean and from 11pm all night DJs. On the Friday night 27th we'll be playing replays from Old Grand Finals. Doors open 12 noon and live coverage of the Granny from 1:30pm. We'll do a replay on Sunday 29th from 7pm.

For directions see www.coolabah.jp or email the coolabah@hotmail.com or call Andy 090-4299-2202

For anyone in Japan in the Osaka/Kansai area, I second the Coolabah. Great atmosphere and food and it's easy to watch the game even if the place is packed. I've watched the GF there every year since '10 and I've always had a blast.

Reckon the Woolshed in Dublin/Cork would be your best bet, mate.

You know i think it's ridiculous that the Walkabout in Glasgow doesn't put on an event for the AFL Grand Final, they're meant to be an Australian pub yet the won't do it, but are happy to do it for NFL Finals including the SuperBowl.

what a joke, should not be called a Walkbout if they don't show the AFL GF.

Well they mention it's all about licensing to get the pub open at that hour, yet there is an Irish pub in Edinburgh opening up early to show it live.

It's the local councils that grant the licenses so that may explain the difference.

Hoping you all had a great GF day and manage to find yourself somewhere good to watch the game. Any reviews of where you watched it may help others next year.
