  • If you need advice on locales I live and work in central London. If you are just over for the weekend, your best bet is west/southwest of London - basically twickenham and Heathrow (one of the two airports you'll come into) are in that area.

    If you're looking at doing tourist things in central London, Waterloo is the station that heads that way, so bear that in mind.

    Anyway, yeah, I can help. Or google.

    Okay homey. I'm coming. I want to stay at your house. Give me your address, number etc.

    Stupid as hell, sorry.

    It should never, ever be an inter- conference matchup.

    Giving up a home game there means the Vikings won't visit Cleveland until 2025.

    who says they will be there in 2025...

    I don't have a Facebook account so hadn't seen those guys before. Thing is the Browns are never on TV over here so they're missing the game if they're down the Hippo?

    I'm pretty certain they play it through the gamepass.

    Totally agree..Ever seen AP play in person? That alone is worth the price of admission..2 loser teams in same LA Stadium & Losers goes to London Bowl for your Home Game..Hell, maybe Roger needs a Wall too 😉

    Yeah, saw him back in 2009 when he ran all over us.

    While I'm still pissed that it's the Vikings and not Jax or Tenn, I am interested in going to London. I was there once, in 2013 for 3 nights. I can't remember the district we stayed at, but it was a short walk to Soho.Had a blast.

    That doesn't sound legal to me, surely Sky Sports would be all over something like that as they show NFL live?

    Just been told it's true, I had no idea. Looks like I'll have to join this club then!

  • So we get the "B" facility?

    Early date looks promising for a Wedding anniversary in the Isles, but either will work.

    @gftchris said:

    Any idea on the prices?

    Please look into block pricing as well. That was the one serious part of my "your duties" post.

    Should be discounted and those of us who commit to the trip can PayPal in advance so you don't get stuck. Then if we no show, and you can't resell for face value, the no show is on the hook.

    Ah bringing your wife. Maybe I can talk my agoraphobic better half into making the trip. You mentioned France- Bordeaux is on my bucket list.

    By the way....I have already check out my timeshare exchange company website......and I have found some VERY reasonable options to stay in England. These are in Canterbury...which is not a far commute from London...60miles. A 2BR place that could bunk up to 6 people.

    Anyone game?

    Gip, we shall see. Looks like they're giving us season ticket holders first crack at preferred seating. (I don't want to do a 3,000+ mile road trip and sit in nosebleeds.) For sure there will be package deals at group rates. Though if "preferred" means we think you have a ton of money to blow on this trip (I don't) it could get real pricey. Like those guided eclipse tours I've seen in my Astronomy mags. If the stuff offered though the Browns is too rich for my blood, I for sure will be interested in doing a timeshare with you. We survived a weekend in Nashville together. Just no visits to antique shops for me. 🙂

    It's only a Chunnel away... although I might have to cross topside... submerged tunnels are a bit of a phobia here.

    The block option would be cool... please keep us posted. As I said to Chris, interested parties can always use PayPal to front the money to anyone willing to block for the group (see what I did there?).

    As this board may be closing I wondered if anyone had decided to come over? I dont post on here a huge amount but would like to meet anyone if they did come over for the game. Where can I leave my contact details if anyone would like to neck a beer or two that weekend!

    I can see wanting to blow the Browns to smithereens. I wanted to do that too. But not the board.

    Where else could we take out our frustrations?

    Looks like I was wrong then, go back to your beers people, nothing to see here

  • Hopefully if it's considered a home game, that it comes late in the season. it's hard enough watching these guys in nice weather - to give up a September home game would really suck.

    Does anybody know how the season ticket holders for other teams have been compensated (our luck it will be a credit based on the cheapest dates)?

    I've been told we will have first rights to purchase or decline purchase.

    Just add your name to the list of those of us willing to throw in the extra $$ to keep it going. Z or Mark I am sure will let us know how much at some point.
