Hi,

Please can anyone help me?

I am flying out to Menorca on Friday and was wondering if anyone knows of any bars that may be showing the game out there?

I have looked into flying out on Sunday but it will cost me far to much.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
WM

Hi,

I've just flown back from Menorca this afternoon.

Where is your resort?? I was staying in Cala En Bosch and there were several English bars there that showed the rugby.

Only Sky games though, not BBC, see my posts on VT.

I just saw that, do you think there is no chance of getting the game anywhere?

I've sent you a pm. Not very helpful I'm afraid, but the only solution I can think of.

If you are staying in the above resort Toms Bar on the plaza near the shopping centre will show it if you ask as he will transfer it from the internet to 1 of his TVs he has around the place

That was in my pm. The only way it can be done as far as I can see.

Hi WC,

I am staying in Cala en Forcat (just above Cala en Bosch).

Do you know how far away this is from where you were (roughly)

I have never been to Menorca so have no idea what it is like.

Cheers

Hi WM,

It's definitely two bus journeys, Forcat to ciutadella then Ciutadella to Bosch. Probably about 40 minutes or so.

My hotel had BBC1&2 in the bedrooms so I would say that you can definitely get it over there.

I'd have a look in Cala en Forcat first before making the trek to Cala en Bosch

Hope this helps.

my parents live in crete and they can watch bbc 1 and 2 through there nova satelite. I know this because when they ring my mum bores me for 5 mins about strictly come dancing and other rubbish. Anyway Nova covers europe so just ask about a few bars and you might be in luck.

Cheers WC, I am sure I will find somewhere.

Thanks Matty, I have 24 hours to look around so I am sure I will sort something.

Thanks for all your help.

I've stayed in Cala n Forcat and there are bars in the square in which I have watched matches but they were on Sky. There are quite a number of bars, two opposite the waterpark ( Irish Bar ), which show sport ( I watched the Charity Shield in one one year but I cannot recall whether this was BBC ) and I am sure if you ask they will accommodate you

Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm in Mallorca when we play Catalan. I'm assuming this game is not on Sky but as Mallorca is a Catalan speaking place will they show it on local TV. I suspect the answer is no and they have no interest in Rugby but I thought I'd ask anyway.
