How to watch AFL grand final in UK
 
I'm arriving in the UK on Friday and am desperate to watch the AFL grand final (hoping my friend will actually be playing). I will not be able to get to The Walkabout in Shepherds Bush as I think my family would disown me if I arrived then promptly left for the pub miles and miles away in London :lol: Can anyone let me know how else I may be able to watch the game please. I believe it's a 7.30am bounce down.

I would be surprised if Sky Sport is not showing it

Just do what the rest of the World do and ignore it.

It's on ESPN UK. Not part of the sky sports package but a premium channel so you'll need to know someone who has subscribed

Doesn't it start at 2.30pm in Melbourne? That would make it 5.30am in the UK.

Thanks. So would that be on tv or could I live stream on my laptop?

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links on here so you have a pm

Forgot to add. Some bookies sites like betfred etc. show live streams of sporting events as well so may be worth checking out. You'll need to credit a new account with at least a fiver to get access to live streams though

Best site on the net. They should have about 10 links to the AFL Grand Final on there.
There's already one there at the moment, but they'll be more as we get closer to the bounce down.
I use it all the time to watch sport from all round the world. It's free, & you don't have to download anything.:thumbup:
