Some fried eggs, bangers, bacon, baked beans(wtf is wrong with you Brits) tomatoes slices and a nip of tea! My breakfast that morning will be a burger and fries in Dublin Airport's Burger King. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding Black and White Pudding might be a challenge tho, depending on where you live. Love a tattie scone. Got to be Stornoway black pudding, and a good quality Haggis slice too. I'd remove the beans, but maybe that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Just realised the game is the same day as my son's 10th birthday. He's not really a football fan, so this is going to require some serious creative bribery on my part. Trip down to London, Jets game on his birthday, but then a two-day visit to Legoland Windsor (which he loves) on the Monday and Tuesday, with unlimited souvenir privileges, is my opening bid. Wish me luck. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Woody's not that dumb. The Jets are a money-making machine for Woody. He would be seriously limiting his earning potential in the UK where NFL football remains very much a minority interest.

David Harris Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I imagine this means we won't have to go again for a number of years so good. Put Zach on the big stage. It's an away game either way. Get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill compromise, a couple games a year fine, but to put a team there, which is where they are trying to take this, is a joke. 2.9k miles NY to SF 3.46k miles NY to London So it's a bit further, but not by all that much. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Jets will be back over (at least) once more before the decade is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not really that big of a deal. Although in 2019, i think every team that played in London returned, had a bye, and still lost, But it's hard to imagine the extra couple of hours of flight time messed these players up for 2 weeks. It's more likely these teams were just not that good to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case numbers way down, vaccinations going well. Most UK adults will have been vaccinated by the Summer. Pretty much everything should be opened up by the time the game comes around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improving quite a lot ... by 21st June we should be out of current restrictions, but it's not clear yet what the situation will be regarding sports venues and capacity etc. At a guess they'll only pre-sell a smaller amount of tickets now, then open up more later in the year depending on how things go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Jet Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 5 minutes ago, PS17 said: What’s the restriction/curfew situation in London? Are things improving? We have around 30% of the population fully vaccinated (with over half the population having had their first doses) and that is largely those at risk, we're now into the group of anyone aged 40 and over, but it started with the elderly and vunerable. Sporting events have started allowing up to 10,000 fans in attendance with the idea that over the Summer months there will be more events and concerts and shows etc. COVID deaths have been the single figures per day recently which proves vaccination is working. We expect to "open up" as a country mid-June as the younger generations get their chance at the vaccine too. By October we'll be fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
