Toggie88 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 As it transpires I've inadvertently booked a trip to New York over the weekend of the final, the bird is flying out from California to meet me and the topic of cancelling wasn't met with much glee on her end, so I'm looking to meet up with some Jambos in Manhattan for the game - kick off is 10am locally. There's quite a few bars on the JKB BarAdvisor so will probably just pick one of them but would be much better if there was a few likeminded fellows. Is there any New York based Jambos or folk like me who will happen to be there on this glorious day? If we win I'll be doing the Beattie round Times Square.

Wilmslow Jambo Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm in the same boat as you, wife and I in NY (Manhattan) on the day of the final. If you let me know where you will be, I'll be happy to join you there. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Excellent! I'll wait and see if there's any Jambos based there who know where's best to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkJambo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Excellent! I'll wait and see if there's any Jambos based there who know where's best to go. Bars decide their schedules for games about a week in advance. But I wouldn't hold your breath on this one. I've been here four years and unless the game involves rangers or celtic it's usually not shown. Fox soccer plus just got the rights to the SPL a few weeks ago but it doesn't cover cup games. Is the FA cup final the same weekend? If so nowhere will show Scottish cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewYorkJambo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Think the fa cup final is earlier in may If english games are over for the season, the chances of the game being shown would jump substantially I'm still toying with flying back for the game but, if I don't, I would watch it in a bar if its shown. Would need to have sounds etc. Hate it when they show scottish games on a wee tv with no sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobskeldon Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Excellent! I'll wait and see if there's any Jambos based there who know where's best to go. Don't take any chances...make sure you have SKY GO on your phone or iPad or whatever! Then if you can't find a pub that is showing it, you can sit somewhere with wi-fi and enjoy! Good Luck.

Toggie88 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 There's quite a few pubs on the JKB BarAdvisor and there is quite a few in New York. How many do we likely have for a meet up then? 1. Me + Girlfriend 2. Wilmslow + Wife 3. Marky 1874 4. R.A. Dickey + son I daresay a few more may well discover this thread shortly. So I'll leave it a bit and then start calling round bars. The ESPN bar at Times Sq will probably show it on their giant TV wall (there's lots of TV, not just one large on) but I doubt it'll have sound. Anyway, I'll find somewhere which will show it and if I can guarantee a dozen or so Jambos there for 10am then I'm sure they'll take the opportunity. What's folks thoughts on putting a message on hibs.net? Inviting Hibees along to the same pub could prove banterful and entertaining. All friendly of course.

Big_Hearts_Runner Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I lived up in NY for a while before moving down here 3 years ago. If I can't make it over & there's no other Jambos in DC meeting up I might hop on a bus to join you all. If I can't be at Hampden next best thing would be watching with Jambos in a pub.

I did that trip on the megabus a few years ago. $26 return and the buses are not like the Megabuses in Scotland - Power Outlets, TVs' showing films, lots of leg room. Fantastic bargain considering Amtrak wanted about $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkJambo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Gimme the address and I'll put it on BarAdvisor ... On a train just now with the slowest internet connection known to man. Took me ten minutes to load this page! Google 'Legends bar NYC' and it should come up. It's a one minute walk from Herald Square (which is where Macy's is) Someone else asked what time it opens. I was there at 8am for Scotland v Brazil game. Don't expect a cracking atmosphere though. There were about 15 people watching that game! But at least its on somewhere. If anyone else wants more details then PM me. I have the email address for the boy running this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilmslow Jambo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 My hotel is on 6W 32nd st (Legends - 6W 33rd) so at least I won't have to stagger too far to get back to the hotel after the game. Unless, of course, we decide to do a Beattie round Times Square after we win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is coming together well. RE: The atmosphere - I think if there's a least a dozen of us there then we can create at least a half decent atmosphere. Tell them to make sure they have an adequate supply of champagne.

He also said the Champions League final will be on straight after and he expects to be very busy for that but if we are there for a game before we'll have the best seats in the house. The place is huge - two levels - and I expect they will only have Hearts on in one level. Probably downstairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
