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.
-
JDB I wiil be in NY lets link up my mom's don't have fox sports
-
NY ... just say where.
-
It looks like a bar might be the best place. I will start looking.
-
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.

count me in Kicker ... I can go anywhere in the Boroughs.

Count me in dat kicker

We need some iron whereever we go......VIBES IT UP!!!!!

this is de place here

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 !!!!
-
Alyuh Singh's go be de better fling . Dem is ah trini bar so you go geh all yuh doubles , channa , roti and anything trini . De last time I was dey ah think dey haD AH BIG SCREEN TV .Even self it have another place down de road from dem who does show all dem Cricket match and dem . Dat is another trini bar .

Is all good though, if de lime is anything like it was at Continental ah know ah go hear all yuh in Trini when we score on Bahrain. Plus, de Firebrand will be in HS Stadium representing de Eastside in fullforce!
I will look into de Downtown Brooklyn area for ah good bar to host de crew so you all will have more options. Will pass on de info as soon as I get it. In de mean time, "vibes it up!".

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

Three things Beenhakker wanted to enforce.
By: Shaun Fuentes.[/size]
Meanwhile, fans living in North America will have the chance to view Trinidad and Tobago’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain live on Fox Soccer Channel.
This was confirmed through the efforts of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation, thee Local Organising Committee, Jack Warner and Traffic Sports.
“I just confirmed the Live broadcast with FOX Soccer Channel in USA, Canada and Puerto Rico for the game on Nov 12 and Nov 16, they may also cover the game in Fox Sports en Espanol but it is not confirmed,” stated Enrique Sanz of Traffic.
“In the Caribbean the games will be shown via CBU/CMC, in Jamaica with TV Jamaica and a deal with Fox for Latin America is still in the works.
Bahrain has not confirmed the deal and this will take some time.
Japan, Thailand and Indonesia have also confirmed to have the games shown live and there is growing interest in the middle east.

Yuh no what bothers me boy panama,guatemala,honduras,elsalvador,costa-rica,mexico,jamaica,and most of all other countries have a sports bars and restuarants in florida and most of the states that brings there home and away games,but T & T nothing that I have seen or heard of,but interestingly enough them so call roti shop we have here which is the closest thing to a sports bar doh even have a tv much less a satelite dish, but they patriotic and they love T & T or is it the T & T people that spending the money they love,so help meh out here,everytime we have an upcoming game man on the site dus have to be scrambling to find ah place that showing it, if we lucky most ah the times is ah latin pub and they still partial to we, something wrong with this picture where as a people are channeling our efforts for cultural development and not "fete" that always they. Your response on this is greatly appreciated as always.

I'll start a new thread with this information, it would be good if everyone could RSVP in dat thread, include how many people yuh bringin. If for ANY reason mangoville does not work out, there are a couple bars with large screens we can go to, 1 on liberty, the other on atlantic.

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.
JUST AH WARNING Nevada Smiths WILL give priority to the EPL & other League games, infact they will change TV sets if people make a fuss abt T&T game. also, their drinks are always a couple dollars more than other bars. For those who want to stay in Manhattan try the 11th Street Bar on 11th@Avenue 'A', three doors from the corner-Brown Awning, I'l arrange for the Match to be carried there-BUT ONLY IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST!
ALTERNATIVELY you can come to quuens.
