Hey Steve – Just moved to Baltimore a few months ago – and it’s a shame we haven’t had a chance to meet up yet. As far as places to watch games in Balt. Co, there’s Ryan’s Daughter just off of Northern Pkwy, and of course, my house!
Drop me a line sometime – mikek@arsenalamerica.com.

Do any other places advertise the matches they air? Slainte does a pretty good job of that. I don’t mind driving downtown, but living in Baltimore County, it would be nice to know of a place that aired matches.

Hey there! I met some folks from the Baltimore Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) who mentioned Ryan’s Daughter. I have an email in with them to see if I can add them to the directory.
The guy from the GAA told me that he thought Ryans Daughter only showed replays of games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If I hear any different I’ll be sure to add that to the info.
Au Potin Still, the other Irish pub in Baltimore County, advises they don’t get Fox Soccer Channel or GolTV so they don’t feature any games.

Any Gooners here in the Northern Virginia (Reston/Sterling/Ashburn) Area? I’m a Gooner fan since 1988 when I lived in London and have experienced a revitalization of my fan-dom over the past few years now that all games are able to be seen live on TV… but I feel like I’m the only one!
Always prefer to watch games with other fans but it’s hard to find out here without trekking into DC or close-in Arlington…

Hi SteveG:
I look forward to seing you at Slainte — probably have already and didn’t recongnize you.
You aren’t the Steve Goodman at hopkins, by any chance, are you?
Cheers,

Any near Richmond Virginia? I am currently in Charlottesvile.

Quick Baltimore County update: so far I’m still coming up empty. I have contacted a few places and so far none of them get Setanta or Fox Soccer Channel. I have not been to Ryans Daughter yet, however they are not showing up on Setanta’s web site as a pub using their service.
As for the Richmond question: I used to live in that area and still have friends there. No one is aware of any pubs in Henrico County that carry FSC but they will ask around. Be sure to also check on the http://www.bigsoccer.com web site.

Attention Gunner fans in the Harford County area. Looneys Pub in Bel Air Maryland receives Fox Soccer Channel and features it on some of their many TV screens. I was up there a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed a match while sitting at the bar. Here is their web site address:

Be sure to check them out!

Another exciting year starts! Just an update on Baltimore County: I have been exchanging emails with one of the pubs pushing for them to add Fox Soccer Channel. I have not heard back from them yet–but hopefully will soon.
For folks living in Baltimore City, Slainte will be featuring this weekend’s opening match starting at 7:45AM.

UPDATE!!!
Au Potin Still, located in Baltimore County, has added Fox Soccer Channel! Here is their address and telephone number:
2323 York Road
Timonium, MD 21093
United States
(410) 560-7900
And their web site is: http://www.thestill.net/
Since Arsenal will be taking on Fulham this weekend at noon why not come over and enjoy lunch along with a pint (or two) and welcome The Still? Special thanks to Lance over at The Still for adding FSC to their viewing.

I have created a mailing list for folks based in Baltimore and the surrounding counties. I send out a note weekly announcing where games can be viewed. If anyone is interested joining the mailing list just send me an email to baltimore@arsenalamerica.com and I will add you.
Later!
