Where are you? Unless you're in Bubblefuck, most decently populated areas will have at least one pub with Setanta.
Go here -
http://www.setanta.com/us/TV-Listings/ - Click the "Venue Finder" tab over on the left. Check the "Setanta Sports Channel" option, put it your Zip Code. Still nothing?
Can't imagine you'd be too far from somewhere showing the game.
Now, if that place will be infected with Rags? More than likely.
Have them thieving irish fuckers not gone bust over there yet?
Nah, their NA operations were separate from their British ones.
As of a few weeks ago, they had dropped their PL coverage, which was certainly a sign of impending doom. Lots of rumors about Fox or ESPN buying them out, at least for the "soccer" coverage.
But checked the schedules for this game, and they have got the Prem back on this weekend - not sure when it came back. So that would suggest that things are at least at "stay of execution" level.
Other blues over here who posted links to the articles about them losing PL games might have a better handle on what exactly is going on. I'm not sure myself.

I'm watching it at home! Not because I have to, but because I want to. My lads a Blue and my step lads a Red, who are both SC holders at City for the last 2 years. I could get mine but couldn't get theirs so the decision was made that I'd stay home with them and watch it on TV.
Usually I'd be gutted, but because the lads are there, then it'll make it bareable.
NB. The Red will not be watching it downstairs with me on the Big screen, him and his gimps will be confined to his not so big 32". And if things go Pete Tonge, they'll be getting a full City Walk of Death goodbye from me, my lad and a few friends on the way out. If we go through, then they'll get the full City welcome.................

I thought about watching it at that same sports bar where i watched the 4-3 loss earlier in the season. It is the same one where the scum supporters club goes. I was one of only 2 blues in the place and I walked out of there so pissed off. This time I think I could get battered either way so just going to stay at home and watch the game on my 42". Problem is I have to have muted celebrations with the 2 very young kids sleeping. I wish I could get together with fellow blues but they are hard to locate in SA. Although you find loads when you walk around in public with your City shirt on.

If you're going there then you might want to save your shower for afterwards!

Local boozer across the road has closed so it's a one mile walk to a decent footy pub with a rag mate. Will be mostly City in there, rags will be getting a hard time. The loser of the tie pays for a cab home.

Arrived in Rotorua from Auckland last night, casing the joint this morning to find a bar....checked Sky and no game in schedules!
Will not abandon hope, but I did wonder if I will be the furthest flung Blue to be watching, actually watching with kids and missus in full kit! That should scare the Maori's!!
So, anyone watching the game further than 11,500 miles away???
Can anyone suggest which channel it maybe on, perhaps some of the lads in Oz?

OK, I'm the sad sack who won't be watching. Haven't got a ticket or Sky, so my only hope is an internet feed, but I don't think I can stand the pressure of them freezing and being a few minutes behind play, so it'll be back to the radio, just like the good old days.
In fact, my first memory of a semi (careful), was listening to us beat Ipswich in 81, whilst lying in bed. Might go all retro for tomorrow and if things go badly, I can just pull the duvet over my head.

Or, if we win, you're well placed for a crafty celebratory wank - perfect!

As far as the Rags are concerned, it's going to be more like
Casualty!

About 40/40 blues and red cunts, other 20% made up with scousers and others in there who of course take city's side.
I would almost prefer it if U***d go ahead, so I can store up all the shit aimed in my direction for when - yes when - we win
Last minute change of venue.
Observatory pub, Blackburn. Its a blue takeover!

Laptop and a stream for me as usual when it's a 4am kick off.
Declined an offer from my Rag cousin to watch it on his big HD tv. If it goes tits up I wanna go back to bed asap and pretend it was just a bad dream.
