ScottishNiner:

gridiron49:
We arrived yesterday afternoon in London.
Morten Andersen and the Bucs cheerleaders will appear SATURDAY at Footlocker so it will not interfer with the meeting tomorrow at the Green Man :) I hope some of you will find your way there ;)
D-roc:
Sorry you guys are not enjoying a better game over there. Next year maybe the league will give you 49ers vs the Gurls; how 8) would that be?
London49ers:
no worries D, it was still a great day out and the game wasnt that bad from the stands :) Got within a foot of the Lombardi trophy and saw Fred Deans game jersey in the hall of fame marquee at the official tailgate party :) Will have to figure out how I can upload pics on here for you guys to see! If not, they'll be on FB so you can view them there soon :)

Thanks London look forward to it.
NFL might try to find a home team for England.
On the heels of a third straight sellout in London Sunday, everyone's looking for the Next Big Thing in international expansion. Two games in England next year, probably, with the prospect of going to four in Europe by 2012. But I'm told reliably (and reported on NBC Sunday night) that one of the options the NFL will consider in the next year is choosing one team to play annually in London, so the league can work to develop a following over there.
If the league can find a willing partner -- Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wrote Sunday night, "Get ready for the London Shaguars'' -- it could be an interesting experiment. Say the Glazer family, owners of the Bucs and Manchester United, wanted to form some sort of marketing partnership. Particularly with an expanded schedule to 17 or 18 games, would the Glazers want to play a Buc Bowl over there annually? Would Jacksonville trade one of its non-sellouts for a crowd of 75,000 there each year? Or would Buffalo? Stay tuned.
