During the season, how do you watch games? Do you watch at home, in a group or at a pub type establishment with other fans?
I am a fan from Canada, so I have been watching at home using DAZN, then Fubo.TV last year (officially licensed), but I will try to visit a pub with fans next season. For Canada, The official Manchester United supporters club of Canada was pointed out to me.
Sky/BT Sport in the UK, so probably only see maybe 15/20 games of the season on average. Try and get to one a season at OT but it's difficult with the ticket releases
UK. I watch at home almost exclusively. I have IPTV and so can watch every game.
At home, with a 2yo crawling around the sofa ๐
I worked a few months in New York tough (I'm from Europe) and then I would watch the games at the United pub. It was a great experience!
It was during a dark Ole period and we had gone a few games without a shot on target IIRC, we had a shot on target and the pub went crazy cheering like it was the CL trophy
I'm in the US and mostly watching through Peacock network for the PL games. Thankfully the price of Peacock is only $5.
For the FA cup and CL... I go in the woods where there are water streams
I watch at home mainly. I'm in the UK so pay an extortionate amount of money for Sky Sports and BT Sport so watch as much as I can, but we don't even get every game over here
I started watching on NBC (we can watch it with antennas), but only had some matches. The pre-match and after-match banter was good enough. That is one thing that I miss with Fubo/DAZN, there rarely is some commenting before/after/mid. Tried watching with some YT fan channels at the same time, it's just a pain to keep in 'sync'. I do get a digital copy from "friendly sailors" of Match Of The Day 1/2 that I find useful to gain a bit more info on the weekend's matches.
I was debating about writing the price, don't want to push an open wound, it's about 60$CAN for 3 months here for Fubo/DAZN . I think it's a good deal. (legal too..). It does buffer at the worst times (and my Internet connection is NOT the issue...)
I mostly just watch at home. I'm in USA so there aren't many places to watch, but oddly enough there's a pub that my wife goes to watch Spurs games with the local supporters group
Please imagine a Spurs Derogatory + Funny comment here. But what a neat striker they have...
Here in Mexico we have Paramount+ for Premier League games which is great as it's cheap and you get all the games. Cup games are all on other channels that are pretty inexpensive with the TV packages like ESPN and Fox Sports. Champions League is on HBO but we account share to access that.
