Well, my vote is for a pub in Arnage village then.  See you all there.

We bought one of those tv radios last year in one of the supermarkets. cost about £40.

A couple of years ago I was woken from my slumber in Karting Nord on Sunday morning by the noise from a TV in the tent behind us.  They had hooked up to a satellite dish.
They were watching ......... Le Mans 24 hours on Eurosport  
I mean ...  the race was going on just over THERE ....

True, but the whole England v France patriotism thing will be hard to avoid.
Remember England v Denmark in 2002 ?

In 2000 , we all went to watch the footy in Tetre Rouge, which had a great atmosphere , but warm beer.

2002 was in the little pub just opposite the EXPO camp entrance and it was so full , you had to pass each others drinks on from the car. Great result though. Denmark lost.

Although I can't handle much football myself, Doctor, Buzz and Sticky are footie nutters, so we are bound to be showing this one from our motorhome feed. Our TV in the lounge is only c 20" though (even smaller in the main bedroom), so I might need to think about a projector or something so we can beam it outside.

Spookily at Le Mans during the last World Cup, England scored without fail everytime I opened abottle of champagne - I better put a case to one side for this game!

Given that my travelling compaion Mark is a big footy fan, you might be pleasantly surprised with some company on Sunday night Mr Toad...

We're normally travelling home by then, but I suspect 2004 will be different. You're on MB aren't you?

Especially after (according to the Mail) after the french president hijacking the england rugby victory and saying it was a victory for Europe.

[jpchenet]

That's right Stu. Although I would like to be the first to point out that the semi final loss by France was purely a loss for France!!!!!!! Nothing to do witha  loss for Europe at all!!!  

[Mr Toad]

Smokie - affirmative with fair wind and some tickets. I spoke to our team IT God today - he's got a projector sorted, so we just need a hook up to our decoder now...

And a very large white sheet as a screen. Have to make sure that it's champagne cork proof though Toad. Can't do with any holes in it!!  

[Robbo SPS]

By hook or crook , i will have a TV showing the game on which ever campsite i get allocated. Even if it means buying a french TV in Carrefour.

I think this also clashes with the Canadian GP (subject to Tabacco sponsorship agreement) Footy kicks off at 19.45 (French time?) and the GP usually starts at 19.00 French time. We've often watched the GP in a bar in Le Mans - next year - dilemma. (Two satellite dishes?)

oh bugger... hadnt thought about that.....
