 Poster: A snowHead

We’re in La Plagne 1800 for Christmas  . Wondering if anyone can suggest where we can watch Leicester vs Man City on Boxing Day?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Might be easier/harder if its a stream you need.
I remember couple of years ago watching football in spitting feathers in Bellcote. They were able to put 2 different games on two screens.

@Shawsy,
Good luck finding somewhere and good luck with the result. Which team will you be shouting for?
On the theme... My best alpine footy moment was watching Ji's last minute winner for Sunderland against Man City (almost 7 years ago) in the Red Fox in Val Thorens.
I was still in ski boots and (when the goal went in) had a tricky landing as I launched myself off a bar stool as I momentarily lost it! Did I get some odd looks!!
Mind, I've made up for that since - watching many a walloping on an alpine telly...  The oddest, bitter/sweet, experience was watching Cardiff v Sunderland in the Frog at Val Thorens last season. It was a glorious, sunny day & I finished skiing early to get to the pub for kick off (leaving Mrs B to continue skiing). I'd already calculated that I could add to a great day by popping out at half time and skiing 1 run back to the pub - in time to get back for the second half. What could be better than the novelty of a half time ski?
All was going to plan and when I told the barman what I had in mind he even said that he'd put my pint in the fridge until I got back!
So, on the half time whistle (with the score at 0-0), I legged it down the street, skied to Plein Sud lift, took that and skied back to the town. Then I dashed back to the pub and hurried in - only to find that I'd missed the first couple of minutes of the second half; and the barman was standing shaking his head... Disaster had struck and Cardiff had scored. Needless to say, another thrashing ensued.
Still, I'd experienced a first - a match and a half time ski run.
We are back in Val T next weekend and I'm looking forward to watching Liverpool v Man U on Sunday and Arsenal v Spurs on Wednesday (both without the half time skiing  ) Bring on the Grimbergen!

@Bergmeister Leicester all the way, although will have Man City fans with us.  I remember watching us play Liverpool in Les Deux Alpes during the fairytale season. We lost and everyone thought the bubble had burst. Little did they know ...

@Shawsy, Just check that the owner of whatever bar you end up in is not a Man City supporter. My son was in Plagne Soleil last year when Scotland were playing France at rugby. As the only Scot in a group of saisonnaires, he was getting some noisy support from his pals as Scotland gave the French a beating. The match was in the 78th minute, with Scotland about to win when the bar owner took a huge huff and just switched the TV off.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@Shawsy, Could be worse, you could have to go to the game (says a pessimistic fellow Leicester fan)
