Post subject: UEFA Cup Final Rangers V Zenit 14th May

Does anyone know of any bars intending to show the UEFA cup final on 14th May? If I can't find one by Wednesday, I'll need to book a flight to Manchester to watch it.

Appreciate any help you can offer!

I'm in the process of contacting a couple of bars to try and persuade them to stay open for it - the more people we can get together, the easier it will be to persuade them.

It's behind the Ritz Carlton Portman hotel. If you don't speak Chinese, ask any taxi driver to take you to the Port-A-man, they all know it. They are also less likely to rip you off going to the portaman.

Would like to watch it, but cant face work the next day if I go to a bar to watch it!

K.O 2.45 or something similarly evil? Groan.....

CK1 - take Thursday off and come to Big Bamboo - it could be a historic occasion and we should celebrate in style!

Oh I will have to make it TS. The plan right now is to try to get some sleep after work, hell I could try and get 5 hours (9-2!). Then to the Bamboo.

All-nighter after that if Rangers win and then straight to work!

Could also be a test run to see how I will fare during the European Championships!
