The NFL Thread

Am I right in thinking that even though the games are at Twickenham - the build up stuff like the events in the pubs and the like are more in London.

The Vikings fans have been assigned a pub called the Barrow Boy and Banker. If anyone has been to Twickenham for games before what did you do the night before / morning before / after the games.

I have only been to Wembley and always known the 2 pubs to be the Finery and the Green Man.
 
If I go to Twickenham for the England v Wales rugby we always use the Prince Blucher on Twickenham Green.
 
Plus there is the Cabbage Patch. Very much an England rugby pub so I don't go in there but it is supposed to be decent. Always looks fucking rammed on match days

I really don't think that the British landlords understand the American Football at all. A couple of years back they tried to have a "Jags fans only" pub and a "whoever they were playing" fans only pub in Wembley...They just don't get that fans from EVERY team attend these matches and get along perfectly well and mingle without trouble and if there is any THEY cause it with their segregation"
Can't remember where we drank at the Twickenham game last year but will post nearer the time
 
I can't help you either. We went back to the hotel bar/restaurant then to our room to watch Redzone on the laptop.

I went to the Colts Jags game last year at Wembley and the team dedicated pubs worked well.

They had the Finery for Jags and the green man for colts. They didn't stop fans of other teams going in either though. It was a good mix as usual - it was just a good chance to go in and meet fellow fans of your team (not that I follow either of them.)
 
If anyone has the MySky app and you sign up for Sky VIP then they currently have some tickets left for Ravens v Jags for free.

The first year the bouncers did...My brother was in his Redskins shirt and I was in my Bears shirt and we were told "X team only" so maybe they've learned. We have had no intention of entering anything that had a sign for one team only.
 
I'm going to the Jags Ravens game at Wembley. Went to Twickenham last year and didn't think it was as good as Wembley.

Going to Washington in November and will watch Redskins V Vikings. Same match as when I was there last November!
 
If anyone is interested I can set up a free weekly fantasy contest on DraftKings. I think they make you deposit a couple of quid to register on the site but the weekly game will be free, and you can always withdraw your money back out again anyway.

Let me know and if there's a few of us I'll set one up.
 
Never done a A.F. fantasy game before and might be a laugh
 
Cool. We've got until Sun afternoon to sort it out. Just need to wait for the exact numbers to set up the contest. For some reason it doesn't let you just set up a league.

Only other issue is now the Thu game has been and gone the option is Sun-Mon games so it may miss out every Thu game. If it does I'll just start another one next week.
 
Falcons just about scrape through on the road to Bears. Winning without playing that well, but the pitch didn't help with players slipping every time they tried to cut.
