By the way -- how did you come to be a Patriots supporter? As an arsenal fan, Brits love to call me a glory hunter. I'd be interested to hear the other side of the coin -- how does a Brit settle on the Patriots when selecting an NFL team? I basically was introduced to the EPL in the late 1990s through international soccer -- which was all you could see in the states and became a Thierry Henry fan; hence the Gunners. What mad you a Patriots fan?

Incidentally, assuming you're a Burnley fan, sorry about the Derby yesterday. You'll get 'em at home.

Like probably most Brits I got into the NFL in the days of it being on Channel Four and must admit to initially being a Bears fan through the 80s and early 90s before losing some interest in the game. Became a glory fan and got interested again in 2001 and I'm hooked for life now as an NFL fan and a Pats fan. Being an Huddersfield Town fan doesn't offer much scope for glory!

I'm self employed and couldn't really justify going down to Wembley but as the time gets closer I'm now watching about 20 single tickets on eBay and am 80% sure I'll be there

My question is, how does the NFL choose if Tampa or New England gets London as their "home" game. I am so glad this doesn't count as a Pats home game, but still---is it just a coin flip?

I am travelling down to London too, from Macclesfield.

Been a Fan since '85 and words can't describe how excited I am!!!! Staying in the Marriot Hotel at Regents Park from Friday thru Sunday so I Also get to sightsee our Capital too..not been since the late 90s..tut.

I don't post much myself but I follow all the posts on here most days and enjoy the reading! (more times than not anyhow!).

Like 'Ciara's Dad' I'm also behind the Pats bench on row 12, and we are looking forward to a different view from the two previous games where we were positioned off to the side behind the end zone and hopefully we will see Randy doing some dancing up close!. :-)

'Patspsycho' - I think its forgotten history, well actually, I'm probably right in thinking that 50% of the population were not in class on this particular History lesson anyway. Just be glad it happened, I can't imagine how 'the English' would of been able to govern a land mass of US size, we have a problem running this little old isle. lol.

Anyway, All have fun if you are going and Take Care getting to and going home from Wembley! And don't forget to check the Underground/tube system as a lot of work is going on next Sunday, some Lines are disrupted badly. Go to the NFLUK forums here for info.

Cheers
Darryl.

You'd be surprised how many people wouldn't even have a clue what you were talking about. Sad but true.

It's all about TV. Patriots games traditionally draw a huge national audience. Gillette is one of the NFL's biggest advertisers.
Think there might be a connection ?

Read the whole thread, I thought I saw someone say they have 2 free tickets.
