ANYONE KNOW WHERE BEST TO WATCH THE CUP FINAL IN JEDDAH?

Hi

My me and my family and coming over in August. We are from Stoke, Trent Vale in fact, both teachers and my husband and son are mega football fans - in fact they are going to the Wembley match next week.... Where in Stoke do you come from??? (sorry , not being nosey, just interested lol)

I wonder if you are anywhere close to Sharbatly - it would be good to hook up once over....do you have family with you too??

Regards

Angela

PS Sorry about not answering your forum question - I don't have the slightest idea btw!

Hi Angela,

Now that's not very nice is it....telling me your hubby and son are going to Wembley and not having a suggestion as to where I can see the match!!! I've just managed to watch the Arsenal game on a live stream so am keeping my fingers crossed that, wordt case, I will get one for the final as well.

Having a battle with the Meridien trying to get them to switch channels on the tv, hopefully they will look favourably on my request.
Anyway I'm originally from Alsager now Haslington near Crewe. Family are unfortunately at home as my daughter has just completed her first year of sixth form.

Not sure where Sharbatly is, but if its in Jeddah nowhere is particularly far away so I'm sure we can meet up.

Send me a message when you get here and I will look forward to meeting you all.

Cheers

Russ

no need for my post any more
I will delete it

hi Pottermus,

Welcome to Expat.com, I know the issue as most of the coffee shops don't have subscription to EPL or other English matches (expensive) and they show LaLiga & Serie A matches so best of luck with ur search. One option would be to go to a sheesha house, you'll have your private TV with remote and also ppl around to give the noise and environment.

By the way I am backing up Man City for the final and it'd been interesting if you were here in Riyadh.

Hi again

Haha I know it sounded harsh...I really don't have the time and / or patience for football...

My 2 kids (we have 4 in total, 2 of which are/will be at uni in the UK) will be starting A levels and equivalent of KS4 so it's an ideal time for us to move....but it must be very difficult leaving them behind...

Anyway...we'll let you know when we arrive...my husband is coming over at the end of the month to start the application process for the childrens' visas so maybe you could meet up then...

In the meantime hope you find somewhere to watch the match!!

Angela

And... I would like to congrats the Stoke fans for their victory last night victory against Arsenal

Thanks for the suggestions, I will get to see this match!!! And thanks for the comment re Arsenal....it was sweet!
