[Archived] Strangest Place You Have Watched Rovers!

[Seggie]

Just got back from the Leeds Festival which obviously meant I missed the Arsenal match live however thanks to modern technology I was able to watch it on my iPhone in my car through Sky Player and jumped up the sound using my car stereo's Auxillary port. Bit sad I know but watching Rovers is that important to me.

On a remote island off the coast of Kenya last year. I was living in a tiny village which had electricity for about 3 hours a day. On one saturday the village's one and only television set was showing Blackburn v Man City on the opening day of the season. Couldnt believe my luck. Not in HD but I coped.

Went to turf moor last season does that count?

Not quite as mad as magicalmorten but watched a Rovers v man City match from a whorehouse bar (along with the wife and friends) in Dominican republic as it was the only bar with espn at the time and also weatched a Rovers game in a Police Station in Cuba when reporting the theft of my sons clothing from his suitcase !

Not watched but just got within Radio 5Live reception driving north through France from Spain as the Rovers 7 Sheffield Wednesday 2 game began. Don't know how I kept on the road in that first half which ended 5-1 to Rovers. I think it was 4-1 after 16 minutes wasn't it?

Must have made for a more interesting "half time show" than Hoddle and Rednapp on Sky!! Assume you got pulled off at half time....

Al Qurnah, with three Manure supporting Iraqis, @#/?s that they were. The Bradley was the only structure with bloody A.C in that dusty shithole. Using a cell as an aircard attached to a piece of trash laptop, watching on a Chinese channel almost freeze frame style due to bandwidth limitations. The three stooges were still able to notice fouls by our defenders when all we could see were red and blueish blobs moving around.

It just shows that no matter what creed, culture or religion - all manure fans are cheating skum.

Salzburg was quite strange... for the first 10mins they had disco lights moving round the crowd - then we were plunged into darkness... thank god they came back on!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Probably at your house (no not you) whilst shagging your missus whilst you were at the game.

What a game.....I remember watching that on Sky, oh the memories of Chris Sutton in a rovers shirt

Watched Rovers vs Arsenal FA Cup 6th Round 2000 in a bar on island of Koi Samui off coast of Thailand. Really weird, as the bar tenders knew more about Rovers (in Championship at time) than the people I sit next to on the BBE now. We got beat 3-0 but I was in awe of a local who knew all about Simon Garner - clearly quality always travels

Jack Walker Upper, now that is a strange place.

Watched Rovers v Preston the year that we came up in January 2000. In a remote village in Northern Pakistan, 1am in the morning, freezing cold and electricity going off intemitently. The twist is that it was my wedding night! Nearly was the shortest marriage ever!

Rovers -v- Manure from a campsite bar in Arusha in Tanzania.

In a barrack room, on a smuggled in TV during my military service. Everyone else were asleep, but not for long after Benni McCarthy spanked in THAT goal against Arsenal in the League Cup .

I too was at Leeds, a group of us went to my mate's car and put 5Live on whilst we had a BBQ.

A lot of non-southern Arsenal 'supporters' kept wandering past and asking the score
