Hi everyone

Does anyone know where my hubby could watch the Champions League Final within walking distance of Courtyard Marriott Palm Parkway please? Also, I don't suppose anyone has any idea what time it will be on in Orlando, given that it's taking pace in Moscow?

Thanks again for your brilliant help. I don't know what I'd do without you all!

(We're going on 16 May - don't know how to do the counter thing)

Hi,

Not sure if in walking distance but check out The Cricketers Arms (http://www.cricketersarmspub.com/)

You may need to pre-book a ticket for a place in the pub whilst the match is on.

We've got the same problem, we wanna see the Ebbsfleet FA trophy game on the 10th. I tried the Cricketers Arms, hopefully it'll be on. There's no Premiership on that day.

Hi
Partner went to the Cricketers Arms to watch Liverpool in the final last year, unbeknown to him it was also on in the Hotel and in our room. Cannot remember which channel it was on.

Kick Off here is 19:45 so that should be 14:45 in Orlando

ESPN2 has been carrying the Champions League so I'm guessing they will have the final. We have watched all of the matches at home. Standard cable includes ESPN but not always ESPN2 so double check with your villa or resort to be sure that they have it. If they don't Cricketers will certainly be showing it.

As far as I know you can't book in advance for Champions League. The only time they've ever done that was for the World Cup. I was there at 3:30am to watch it and left just before sunrise....crazy! It was brilliant atmosphere though.

Since it is a final you want to see there is a chance that there will be a cover to get in. They sometimes do this for major matches or when some of the Premier League matches have big games on.
