Title: Very Important
Post by: Bug Maniac on March 16, 2006, 12:39:33 PM
Okay guys, need your help on this one, been working like a ass this past couple of weeks, and been trying to put together some sort of budget for our new home etc etc, but theres been one thing thats been bugging me and I haven't had any time to do any research at all till tonight, do you guys get any football, sorry I mean soccer out there at all, I mean like anything, like do they show english football, I mean I cant just swap sports just like that, a man needs adjustment time, time to find out the rules of your games etc etc.

Please get back to me on this one, I don't like too much change all at once.

Mrs maniac is hoping the answer is no fu---- football, soccer whatever at all :ph34r:

Although Canada has a few Anglophiles (who generally creep out the rest of us), you may as well forget all about watching \"footy\" on the \"telly\".

Where you're moving is basically the Canadian version of West Texas, so start getting used to the idea of \"rootin' fer Junior\".  ;)

With satelite TV you can almost certainly find the games you want.  Perhaps not ALL of them but YES you can watch football.  Even better you can still play it.  Even here in Salmon Arm we have 2 mens teams.  I played years ago and the quality of the game was good.  My knees are screwed (because of soccer/ football) and I don't play but still think about it every year about this time.  You'll be okay.  Honestly!!!
