Yo DB! I don't think I met your group. I was speaking to quite few Chargers fans though. I was on the ale from 11 though, then carried on from there. I've had a rough time of it today! Real shame I didn't meet with you guys.
Don't be down on London. As said elsewhere, it was the Saints home game. But man, you shoulda seen the number of Bolts fans - it was truly amazing. This was American Football doing what it does best - bringing together people from all walks of life together for 3 hours of magic. Meeting Swede's, Germans, Italians, Dutch, Irish, Brazilians, Americans - and even some English! All great people and great Bolt fans. The defense stunk, but boy did we get pissed. :icon_toast:
Gr8 post, Gary, gr8 to meet u , ur good lady and ur buddy. Imagine what it'd be like if we'd won. I reckon we'd still be in the Green Man!!. :icon_toast: I met some Danes, Austrians and Portuguese too. Wow what an international following we have!. :icon_toast:
We'd still be in the Green Man - and I'd be divorced!! For all who we'ren't lucky enough to attend - the official tailgate at the stadium had around 15000 in it. The Green Man pub - around half a mile from Wembley had around 500 in it - and a thousand times the atmosphere.
I was really amazed. I honestly didn't think there were enough people overseas that cared about American football. Especially since NFL Europe folded. I remember about two years ago when I went to England, I was wearing a Chargers t-shirt and people were like "that's not real football." But Like you guys said "there were people from many different countries." Thanks for representing!!
I was at the Green man with my friend, we're both from Ireland! It was amazing to be there, both on the Saturday and then Sunday before and after the game! I havent drank so much with so many great people ever! Im desperate to go to San Diego to watch a game, I've gotta see them win up close!
Well keep watching on these forums for a trip to SD. Some of us have already decided that the first SD home game in November next year is the one we're planning on going over for. The more the merrier so keep checking Bolt Talk especially after the schedule is released early next year.
Check it out guys, Casey gave us a mention on his blog; http://forums.chargers.com/blog.php?b=99 He thought Chris (BFUK) and I were father and son!. :icon_huh:
Sorry for the late note, but I must say I was impressed as well. Met and drank with lots of fans over there all through the week and I came away with the impression that people not only follow football, but they know their ****. As for the Saints, yeah, they pretty much went out of their way to make them feel like they were at home. Music in between plays and video up on the jumbo tron were all Saints related. Bolt fans still represented. :flag:
Ah, don't take it personally. I thought the exact same thing for the first 30 minutes with you saturday at the Green man.
