NFL Game - Wembley

[AZOffaly]

Well lads, the countdown is on in earnest now. 33 days by my reckoning. Hopefully the Dolphins and Giants will have a couple of wins under their belts by then so that the game truly is meaningful.

Who from here is going? I know Turk, LoneShark and Myself are all heading over. I thought I saw SuperDuperCooper and SammyG as well were heading?

[SammyG]

Should be a good night out.Has anybody got their tickets yet?

[AZOffaly]

I think they are being posted 10 days before the event. I hope that is 10 WORKING days beforehand. Some of them tickets have to find their way to Tipperary.

Anyone trying to head to the tailgate party?

Is Balboa not going?

I see BBC have the rights to show it live.

I wonder who they will have in the studio.

I think they only have highlights for it - i could be wrong?

[SammyG]

I see BBC have the rights to show it live.

I wonder who they will have in the studio.

Where did you hear that? I'd be surprised if they've got it as Sky have a contract for all regular season matches.

[AZOffaly]

I think you might be mixing it up with the Superbowl? SammyG, where are you staying over there? We must meet up for a pint.

Sorry, I am wrong on that one. I heard a couple of weeks back that the BBC deal included the Wembley game live but after reading the NFLUK site I have been mis-informed.

Just in case anyone is interested, I got this email last night, 1,000 tickets on ticketmaster this morning if anyone is interested.

Well lads, the countdown is on in earnest now. 33 days by my reckoning.

Arah Jaysus AZ, you should be heading to Pearse Park on Sunday for possible history in the making (hopefully).  As my missus (very helpfully) keeps pointing out, Mayo have won a Mens Senior All Ireland since Colmcille last won a Senior County Title.

[Balboa]

Is Balboa not going?

Yes nrico, Balboa will be there, bringing the Missus, she is a lucky lady in so many ways......

I was at the giants and Green Bay two weeks ago - they were terrible.  I hope it isn't like that for you lads.

The whole experience actually made me homesick - 77,000 people and no atmosphere, no passion, no team spirit - just a bunch of over-paid ego-maniacs and the odd sportsman playing for a pay cheque.

Nothin like Croker, nothing even like Clones for a local rivalry.

I think I'll watch it on TV for now on.
