Paradise goes to LONDON!
London49ers:
the green man will be showing a game on sky straight after ours at wembley - i'm assuming it wont be ours, but they will give you updates on scores. failing that, theres always t'internet on your mobile, and if you find a pub/cafe yu might find a free wifi area and get online with your mobile for free! I went to the flagship store of Foot Locker in the UK today (Oxford St, London) as they've been advertising it as the home of NFL, with madden playing and loads of merch....was disappointing :( Soccer scene (a shop about the tenth of the size of Footlocker) in Oxford St had far more - even Gore jerseys!
Looking forward to a great game tomorrow and sharing a pint or two with fellow 'Disers :) We should catch the meeting on camera and post a few pics up on here I reckon!
Scottish, Hojer - I plan on getting to the Green Man around 12.30-12.45ish to meet Grid - he's leavinga round half 1, but I'll probably be at the Green man until about half 3ish, when I'll leave to go get my tickets from the box office. I'll have a read Montana throwback on, and probably my gold and red bomber jacket (it has stripey arms and a hood!), unless the weather improves and I'll have a gold 1980s varsity style 49ers jacket on instead! Either way, you shouldnt be able to miss me!.....wel, aside from being a shortar$e (5'6") that is! lol Look forward to meeting you all!

I am leaving for the tailgate now. A bit disappointed compared to last year when I thought there was a lot more promotion of the game .
Sorry, D. No cheerleader pics this year!

The turnout was weager to say the least but quality before quantity ;) :-\ London49ers and I meet at the Green Man and had a few pics taken and talked about the team. Unfortunately Scottish were delayed at his hotel and didn't make it and Cains were travelling with a mate in a wheelchair and the Green Man is located on top of a steep hill making it pretty unaccessible :(
Great meeting Paul who had brought back programs for me and for buying beer on top af that (after his fantasy loss last week) 8)

Yeah, it was a shame the others couldnt turn up yesterday, but it was great to catch up with you Grid! And then we got to see a pulsating game afterwards, which was exactly the type of showpiece game I thinK the NFL envisioned (and hoped for) when they first started the International Series of games - high scoring, close right until the end, plenty of passing, some great runs and lots of excitement generally! How did you rate the game Grid? What about the crowd? did you keep your free flag?! lol
I even managed to pickup a niners sideline cap from the official merch stands inside the ground too, which was nice.
Did you get into the official tailgate in the end, or did you bypass that and go straight into the ground after you left the pub?
The only gripe I still have about wembley is the fact tha tyou have no choice but to use public transport - its still a scary scene when you leave and have 90,000 fans all wedged down one narrow walkway to the station, and you think 'hell, we're going to be stuck here for hours' - thankfully I think the police and tranport people are pretty well organised (much more so, than the event staff and police at the 2 US games we went to), so its surprising how little time it takes to get everyone onto a train, but it'd still be nice to have the option of driving there.
