a very long day for non US Patriot Fans

[italian pat patriot]

JMHO but I'd love to see some press devoted to Patriot's fans living outside of the US. So often we see interviews with fans living in opponent country and how difficult that can be,but not much if anything about the total dedication it takes to be an international Patriot fan.These are great stories and deserve to be heard.

thanks a lot

Our Global Community. A great thing.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the time in which we live. That we can instantly communicate like this (and during the game). It is a blessing.

Here, here. A salute to our friends overseas.

I'll probably wake up dozens of times tonight. Man am I nervous. I just pray to god that we win this one.
GO PATS!!!

i think that for all of us in Europe, surely here, it is via SKY - a pay tv; in Italy they show 2 games/week, alive, and all play-offs

My brother just moved to California. I keep thinking how envious I am that I have to wait until 6:30, and he only has to wait until 3:30 (15:30 for our Euro friends). If I had to wailt until midnight, I'm not sure I could stand it.

God bless!

Instant communication is a good thing? That depends who with!

Add Hungary to the mix. The game will start at 00:30 here also. (I will sleep 3 hours befor and 3 hours after the game. At least I am planning it.)

Italian Pat, Gomez, English Pat, you guys are true fans...!!

By the way, it's 7:20 early Sunday morning right now, and outside in the darkness there's a good omen for today's game, it's....snowing! Our guys are gonna feel right at home when they get up. The first snow of the year here in central Indiana.

PS - Same for Fonsy and PatJew - don't want to leave you guys off !! By the way, I used to be stationed in Spain Fonsy, at Torrejon right outside Madrid. Great place and a fabulous time..!

I'm no more a true fan than anyone else. I just happen to live in a different time zone and get a little less sleep after listening to the game tonight. A true fan sticks through the team through thick and thin (to paraphrase Ironwasp's signature). The true test of fandom will be to see who is still here in when the Pats' last regular season game decides whether we get a top 5 or top 10 pick, when Brady is long gone and we are all nostalgic.

 

[PatsFan DK]

Add Denmark to the mix. This day is way too long!

 

[italian pat patriot]

Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Hong Kong, China, Hungary, Denmark...

not bad...

 

[F0nSY]

7 countries,not bad.

OK, Mike the Brit here, checking in from Heathrow Airport. A big shout to all Pats fans, here, there and everywhere. Let's hope we're doing this again in two weeks time!

Got up at 9 UK time this morning, packed my cases, cycled to a yoga class, swam, came back, ate something and off to Heathrow for Berlin. Should arrive about 10.20 pm local time. The game is supposed to be on ARD starting at 12.30 local time (free terrestrial TV) with the closing stages of the Chicago-New Orleans game. Should just fit in nicely. No chance to acquire beer and snacks, though ...

Sleep? What's that?

Well, here in Afghanistan, the game starts at 0430...and of course i had to work all day. I don't care, i am watching the game anyway. I tried to sleep after my shift, but i could not because i am too amped!!!!! I am the only Pats fan on my camp (small camp, about 100 people) but i am lucky because there is no Colt fans here. A lot of folks have jumped on the saints bandwagon...oh well, off to get some coffee.

Go Pats!!!!!!!
