Wonder if anyone can help. Can anyone suggest a Ipswich friendly pub that will have the game on in South Norfolk/Waveney Valley area diss/Fram way.

I live in Harleston (norfolk one) and it generally leans norwich.

Boring life stuff means can't really get down to Ipswich itself to watch.

I should think you'd be ok in most pubs, but with 3 Championship games (Norwich one included) being shown by Sky (plus Arsenal match) finding one showing the Ipswich game might be a challenge.

I live in Wymondham and head to the Sports Bar in town. They can show up to 3 different games, so I guess my odds are good. When the local derby from Portman Road was shown we were massively outnumbered by Norwich fans, but the banter was good, if the result wasn't! Of course I am aware there'll always be places where it's best to avoid, but can't imagine Harleston pubs to be among them.

Cheers, yeah I am not actually worried about Norwich fans (Harleston is very friendly place) just more meant a pub that is definitely showing the town game.

Got something that may be of assistance.

All you need do is pick out the one you imagine is best adequate or meets your requirements, make a call to the establishment and enquire about TV / game availability (if it does or doesn't already specify) Hope this helps you out.

I think the Norwich game is also on Sky so you would definitely need to phone and check which match they are showing.

Although many of the Spirts bars here have multiple screens and show 3 live games pretty much continuously.

That reminded me; I think it’s Isaacs on Ipswich waterfront that not only shows a couple of matches, they even have TVs cut into the urinals so you can keep watching while you have a pee. Just thought I’d share that information

True story..
Was down Isaacs one sunny Sunday afternoon a few years back with a friend, sitting watching some random tennis match on the big screen when I needed to dash for a pee, as you say TVs in the urinals, mine had bloody golf on it but the one beside me had the tennis, anyhow merrily going about my business without realising I was slightly leaning across to watch the tennis in the next one, upon which it dawned on me this big guy was giving me the evils as it clearly looked like I was copping an eye full of his todger lol, I duly smiled and walked off to wash my hands.
