Author Topic: New York based Trinis - Let's Link Up for the Games (Read 39055 times)

JDB · « **on:** November 04, 2005, 10:23:59 AM »

Fellas in the interest of getting together to see the games with a good lime and atmosphere let's try and coordinate.

If you are in the NY/NJ/CT and are interested in linking up send me a PM or just state your location in this thread and whether you plan to attend, host, supply food or grog.

It is no scene if you just plan to show up to watch. If there is plenty interest we could find a bar to meet up.

My Location: Norwalk CT

I would gladly host but I know men in the City might not be up for that drive for a 24" viewing experience. If the New Rochelle men want to get together up here though that would be cool.

Walking with drinks and could bring food.

NY ... just say where.

It looks like a bar might be the best place. I will start looking.

Rotato Poti · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2005, 10:55:43 AM »

It have this place at the top of Liberty ... just off the Van Wyck .. I think the name of the roti shop is Singh's.

They have a bar right there ... and some TVs as well .... and non-stop food - and they're Trini.

I've also seen places that have live cricket a couple blocks lower down.

We could definitely explore those options.

If y'all not opposed to coming into Manhattan, there is a pretty large football(soccer) bar called Nevada Smiths that is famous for showing big games. They have a number of big screens, and I live very close to it, so it would be no big deal for me to walk down there this weekend, and try to speak to the mgr....ask if he would show the game, (are we absolutely sure that it's on FSC ?) and tell him to expect a decent crowd.....

They usually have a full schedule of games that they advertise and show (mostly EPL........very Man U partisan crowd), so the owner might very well say no...(because he plans to show yadda yadda on that day and has already advertised it).......but it could be worth a shot.

If I get a healthy number of responses from the forum by end of day tomorrow, I can try to contact him on Sunday, and get back to y'all with the verdict....

Let me know.

Nevada Smith's is good but...

They will not care much fo rthe Trini Bahrain game and if any other games are scheduled at a similar time we probably will get the shaft.

It looks like our match is starting 45 minutes after the Swiss Turkey Match and half hour before the Uruguay Argentina match.

Also if we could get a place in Brooklyn it will have that a more "homey" atmosphere plus we could have access to all the doubles and thing we want.

I still think yuh should check with him and find out though.

NoBody NOT showing this game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......

Before allyuh decide to meet up...find out first if they showing it........

The issue is not whether you can perusaude or ask a sports bar to cover the came...

The issue is that there is not network covering the game or has bought rights from Trinidad for the Trinidad leg of the match. The one in Bahrain on 11/16/05 is being covered by ART TV because they have sold the rights for network coverage for the game.

Currently is channel-4 in TNT whcih is owned by the Gov't that is respobsle for broadcasting the game as well as boadcasting rights. If they did not attempt to sell or more importantly market the broadcast rights how would someone know it is for sale in the first place. !!

The gov't again !!!!

Men here like they not on Nevada Smiths though.....Nevada is a kinda hype up scene...and it eh have no Trini flavor (although we could change that)....

I think men lookin' for something more West Indian, and if I gonna talk to the mgr I want to be able to guarantee him a big crowd...or else he eh go take me on.....so I need men to commit....

I don't understand what's so hard to understand. Fox Soccer Channel will be carrying the games, they even have it on their website for their schedule for the next week.

their website: http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer

and the link with proof of thie carrying the game: http://www2.foxsports.com/world/pdf/fsw46.pdf
