We used to go to all the American Bowl games at Wembley back in the 80's.
Can't remember a damn one after the Cowboys Bears one in 87, we were usually pissed by Penrith.
Spent the first quarter of one game lying in a pool of vomit in the CoachPark, one lad actually never made it into the stadium.
Best ever was the Browns and somebody else game, ask OTT about his dog impression.

I've missed so much being stuck in Bude - hell, it's half an hour until I hit the closest decent A-road from here - 3 to the nearest motorway...

I've never seen a live ball game and I don't drink that much, so count me in if there's a spare place and I'm around (money allowing).

I went to the Giants Fins game in September and even though the game was crap, it was a great atmosphere and a fantastic experience i will be hoping to join in on again.

I saw a game when i was in the states too, and we did a much better job of it over here. Though it would have been better if the roof had been closed.

i reckon it will be played in cardiff cos the foof closes and the fa spat the dummy bout the state of the pitch after the last game
i went to the speedway gp there and its a crackin stadium its right in city centre loads of bars the atmosphere was amazing for the speedway and there was only 30,000
the best thing is you can see the pitch from the stadium bars and the pies were tasty too

Nah, its at the Millennium Stadium supposidly, they have no expectations, they're crap at rugby, and crap at football, don't think they'll mind.. afterall , gives the welsh public something decent to watch for a change

I've applied for 4 tickets for myself, but also for 10 group tickets. If I get the full allocation then if anybody doesn't manage to get tickets then you'll be able to grab them off me at face value.

Another point if I get the tickets and we wanted to raise some more funds I could donate a couple of them as prizes and I'm sure they will be highly sort after once again.
