Saints vs. Chargers this weekend in London

[th0m]

The closest - proximity-wise - football game for me to go to, so it was a no brainer to get tix for this game. I'm not really an NFL fan, but I got my housemates hooked on FB (college mostly, obviously) and now we're all going to Wembley Stadium to see this match. I have no idea what to expect, fan-wise (quite some expats in London, but I don't expect a very raucous crowd) and just in general.

Anyway, any Saints or Chargers fans that are jealous of me? :p Kidding, I'd rather be in the US and soak up all the college games than see one crappy NFL game. I'll take some pics.

Give th0m a break, his English is better than a lot of posters on this board. xnodx

It was pretty crazy there last year. I have a friend who is doing a semester in London and is a HUGE Chargers fan, ironic that his one shot to see them is in England.

Yeah I heard that last year the sod was pretty bad though. Also, this year apparently they're trying to create as true a 'home' environment for the Saints as possible, instead of just promoting the 'International Series'.

So there will be lots of drunks milling around or will the fans be dressed as empty seats? xconfusedx

I kid because I care. xlolx

[th0m]

It's England, and I'll be there. So yes, there will be drunks milling around. Empty seats, not so much.

I'm sure it'll be a great crowd, that was a jab at the Saints. Who I've grown fond of. xlolx
