Sky sports in isle of Wight pubs?

[Broughtonblue]

Do any of you reside on the isle of Wight? I'm visiting for a week and arrive on sat 1st October, unfortunately that means I will miss watching my beloved Leicester City play that day. As the match is live on sky I'm wondering if anyone can recommend pubs that show matches on sky? I will be staying at Blackwater but obviously am only a short distance from sandown, shanklin etc. Any help greatfully received

The crown hotel in ryde does sky sports its always busy. The Crispin in newport about a mile from you plus there are tons more pubs in Newport and Ryde im sure more of them will have it.

Of course you still have the declaration

Walking into a bar in Sandown and saying.

Can't remember the names but there are several pubs in Ryde, up the main road infront of the pier that show the footie.

Don't be silly - of course they have.

It's just that they're still showing matches from the fifties.
