Wayne Cubed Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 In terms of the NFL Regent Street event (free) on Saturday they have yet to formally announce the timings of appearances. Based on previous years I would expect Rex, Tyrod and about 6 other high profile players to be on stage for about 25 minutes. Probably sometime between 1pm and 3 pm but don't hold me to that. I would expect Thurman and Jim Kelly to be on stage in the early afternoon as well. The event quietens down in the late afternoon so you guys will have the option of staying around, shopping, sightseeing or just rest up. Hope to confirm timings later in the week. In the past most teams head back to hotels as quickly as possible on Saturday afternoon to go through final game preparations and study. But as this is Rex he may bring the whole team and stay out for a few beers & enter the wing eating contest ! There are plenty of pubs just off of Regent Street so hope to see some of you for a drink during the day before heading down to The Pipeline in the evening. Thurman and Jim are hosting a wing eating contest. I got an email about it. That didn't have a time on it either but could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 I fly out tonight. With any luck, I will meet some of you. I am going to the Arsenal game on Saturday so I am not sure how much that conflicts with the Regent Street event. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to the Arsenal game on Saturday so I am not sure how much that conflicts with the Regent Street event. Go Bills!!! Arsenal is the late game on Saturday. 5.30pm kick off. It's less than 30 mins by tube from NFL Regent Street. So plenty of time to do both. I suspect Rex and the Bills will be on stage sometime between 1pm and 3pm. There's no tailgating at The Emirates Stadium ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Arrived in London. I am beginning to worry that with all of our injuries the Bills will be asking some of us who came over here to play. It was pretty cool seeing a bunch of Bills fans at Heathrow. There were more people than I expected with Bills hats etc. I only saw one person with a Jags hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I have returned from my trip to London. A few quick thoughts: 1) there were a lot of people all over London with Bills gear. 2) I met many Bills fans at the Arsenal game on Saturday - including quite a few that are both Bills and Arsenal fans such as myself. 3) There were more Bills fans than Jaguars fans from the US at the game. 4) More of the people from England seemed to be supporting the Jags because they were sort of prompted to support the Jags. It was the Jags home announcer and pregame including several references to "Your Jacksonville Jaguars." Also, every seat in the stadium had a Jaguars flag for people to wave. There is no doubt in my mind that the England fans just as easily would have been cheering for the Bills had it been the Bills' announcer, pregame, and Bills flags etc. 5) I am still very bummed that we did not complete the come back.

We were lucky to even get Bills painted in one of the end zones, and a few Bills flags/banners around the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
