Was on holiday a couple of weeks ago in Montenegro. Well planned as we were at home in the Quarter Final of the Cup to Wakey. The owner of the apartment picked myself and the lady wife up from the airport on the wednesday so I asked where in Tivat they would have Sky Sports on. Getting my priorities in place right from the start! He said that occasionally they had the odd Football game on but he didn't think I'd get the Rugby on.
When we arrived at the apartment he gave us the key and asked me to follow him to a cafe bar downstairs that wasn't yet open. Lo and behold he had a "Dodgy Box" which we managed to get Sky Sports UK on. Next day he came from his house where he was attending a Birthday party, brought the box up to my Room and set it up. Top man all round.
So I managed to watch the Quarter final in Montenegro. Anyone else got any stories of travelling and managing to catch a game?

I watched us play a Friday night game about 4 years ago in a Pizza restaurant in Kaunas, Lithuania. Can't remember who we played but we won. None of the locals had a clue why I was celebrating so much!
Also saw us lose early morning 6 or 7 years ago in the Dominican Republic. Just me in the bar drinking the local brew at breakfast time.

1-Salford v Oldham not live, but a recording in a Bondi beach bar Sydney.
2-Salford v London Broncos live in an Irish bar in Kiev, Ukraine. My mate from Blackley worked at the UK embassy there as the Commercial Attache and asked them the bar staff in Russian. The Ukrainian Secret Service man who followed us everywhere must have had a bemused evening.
3- A Magic weekend v Widnes in a bar in Majorca, the only 3 people in there until a coach load off Jocks came in expecting to see the Scottish Cup Final, and much to their annoyance, the barman wouldn't change the channel because we were in first. Got some hard looks from before they left well pissed off. Made the win even sweeter.

I did exactly the same in a bar in Bournemouth on my cousin's stag do.🙉 We were the first Saturday game IIRC so I got them to turn the Scottish Cup Final over (pretty sure it was Hibs v a.n.other) and cos the jocks were Celtic & Rangers fans I got away with it! Good day all round as Salford won, Utd beat Wigan in the cup final and I won £150 off a bunch of Essex boys for getting 1st goalscorer in the sweepstake!😂👍 Vaguely remember watching Salford in NYC a few years ago but for the life of me can't remember who we played or if we won!! |

Can't imagine a Secret service agent watching me two weeks ago. I'd probably have been locked up for celebrating too much  Also remember watching our Challenge Cup game against Leigh a couple of years ago in Brussels. Four of our rugby mates got in really early to ensure we got the game on and started drinking Leffe. We left gone midnight after spending about 11 hours in the place. Not the best game but a great session on the Leffe. |

The most distant place would have to be Melbourne, Australia but by far the coolest would have to be the time I watched us play Leeds Rhinos at home the first season of the Koukash era from a jungle sports bar in Koh Tao, Thailand. Talk about an absolutely thriller too! I remember going mad at about 3 o'clock in the morning at that Rob Burrow forward pass then making my way back home to the shack on a crosser esaperated. I believe we won our three previous games going into that one and we were pushing for the top 8, we never quite made it in the end.

Samtredia. Georgia
Sunday 10th august 2008.
After a long night on the Local beer and wine we went to a locals house who was working with us to try and watch the highlights of The game against Dewsbury. Every thing going Ok until a few minutes into the Highlights then a loud bang then another couple of loud bangs, The Russian airforce were starting a Counter offensive and against The Georgian armed forces. And were Bombing the town of Senaki
Which we were completely unaware of. Due to the Tight arse of a Swedish boss who refused to pay for a Satellite phone. And wouldn't allow personal phone calls in the company credit cards.
Anyway we headed towards the Turkish border about 90 miles away like a bat out of hell.
That's the only time in my life it's acceptable. For grown men and women to use a Plastic bucket as a toilet For three hours.
But it was a Good result for salford though. !! We won 58-6.

I cant say it was to see a match, but I think you might enjoy this tale.
In 1983 I was on this cold lonely hill with 6 mates at Port San Carlos(Falklands)listening to the world service for the sports results on this crackling radio, they went through the footy scores then the rugby union results, onto the rugby league, alas only the 1st division.
Not happy I sent a bluey off to Salford asking if they could do anything about it, one of the lads said if anything came of it he would run starkers through the local minefield, some weeks later we were again listening to the world service again through the footy then rugby union and then onto rugby league not just the 1st division but onto the 2nd, we lost to Fulham.
A couple of weeks later I got a return letter from Salford saying they had sent my request to the BBC via Ray French. Result.
As for the run through the minefield I joined my mate for the run, he lost the bet, we lost the match.
The stupidity of youth.
