    Anyone else watch this? I went to it after the game and it was difficult considering I was on such a natural high after the win.

    Anyhoo, it was a good laugh and actually an entertaining game as I expected. The chargers gave away far too many yards through penalties and their defense was really poor overall. The Saints deserved the win being honest.

    On the way out Sean was acting the maggot on the tube with a few americans and had to drag me into his mischief. He was telling them about the Dublin Dynamos and the Kerry Killers. He also told them to go to Coppers when they visited Dublin. Given that they live in Mayfair, Coppers might be not quite what they are looking for.

    Wembley itself is a fantastic stadium by far the best I have even been in by modern standards. The game largely flew by for me and I literally bumped into a Saints cheerleader at half time on the concourse whilst texting someone about our win. They are all very short fyi and I really had no interest in talking to them. I politely apologised to her and went on with my walking and texting about the important stuff.

    I would definitely go again but hope to god the Giants are playing there next year.

    missed the 1st quarter but seen the rest was a good game to get the neutral in to the sport. was suprised at how bad the Chargers pass defene was, great finish though with teh Hail Marry at the end which could have gone any where.
    1st time i have seen an on side kick work out.

    was at it myself, my 3rd game ive been too...

    craicing match, it had everythin, side kick, hail mary, shit load of TD's , 20 odd cheerleaders that i would do naughty things too

    was in the middle of a rake load of saints and the atmosphere was great for most of the game where i was sitting

    would love if the cowboys came over next year

    night got even better cause the dolphins beat the bills we are now 3 - 4 for the season

    the first 10 rows of either side f the pitch were covered because there can be up to 100 staff and players standing on the line and you wouldnt be able too see the game if you sat there

    i was in row 11 and was struggling to see the other end zone

    there were a couple of empty sections because the saints and chargers didnt sell out their full allocation and they sturggled to sell them witha few days to go...

    plenty of tickets on sale at the day of the game and even heard a few saints fans giving tickets away for free an hour before the game...

    83500 still turned up which is still a massive crowd...

    aido you had to register your interest with www.nfluk.com to get tickets

    there is a min of a game a year over the next two years and hopefully after that they will have games maybe i germany and holland where there are massive followings of the sport

    It started to get ridiculous when she thought you had actually played for Liverpool two hours previous :rolleyes: Still though, if you had met her out later that night don't tell me you wouldn't have had a go off her!!

    Good game to go to in fairness, much easier to sit through 3 hours of the sport when your at it as the time flies by, as opposed to watching it on tv when the amount of ads on really take the piss. And Wembley is awesome. Roll on next years game.
