Now that the mighty Rhinos are through to the Challenge Cup Final, will one of the bars in San Stef show it?

It's on during our second Saturday

Hi Gaviah, I am sure that Nikos in the Athens Bar will put the game on for you, but beware of the Wolves, unlike Rhinos, Wolves are dangerous and hunt in packs. Enjoy the match. Yammas

Condor will plumb in one of the Sky channels for you. BBC might be a problem as SS tends to sit in a bit of a blind spot for Condor's BBC signal and therefore may be a wee bit erratic.

The match is on BBC. I have watched Challlenge Cup finals in the Athens. I am sure that Nikos will put the game on for you. Should be a great game

Hi Gavlah, the last time we stayed at the Romanza (08)various sports were on from time to time including Terrestrial UK channels with some Rugby to boot! We remember as there was a compromise and occassional switching of channels as one or two ladies were keen to see the final of Big Brother! Not quite authentic Greek culture me thinks but a bit of fun banter amongst the guests as all needs and wants catered for! With a little bit of luck you may not have to travel out of the bar!

Cracking

It should be a great game. Rhinos have been a bit hit and miss this year but I did fancy them to win against Saints. Also dont mind Big Brother so if that's on every now and again.......bonus!

Hi Gav
As Sellsy says you will be able to watch the Rugby League Cup final at the Romanza.If you want to soak up the atmosphere it will probably be a lot more lively at the Athens Bar or the Condor.
The choice is yours.
 If you are into Big Brother I dread to think what your tastes are.
Have a great holiday.

I find big brother interesting as i'm a people watcher. Also being a salesman i find that sussing out a persons personality enables me to find a 'sales solution' a lot quicker than most textbook sales techniques. Big Brother makes me laugh but frustrates in equal measure. Dont worry i'm not  your stereotypical idea of a big brother watcher!
We might head into the village for a bit of atmosphere. I guess its down to the wife....she's in charge but she loves rugby league!

Hi Gavlah,

The Thomas Bay will have the game on I am sure.  Just ask.  The Thomas Bay is actually a great venue for the sports.  Dont let the fact it's a hotel put you off.

Rod is right, just ask Nikos and it'll be on - we are Rugby fans as well, Twickenham is a short drive from us, so we see a few matches there.
