BritBill Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 1 hour ago, SoCal Deek said: For our British members I just saw a link to a video showing that Luton Town is building a new stadium around the same timeline as the Bills, although the Luton Town facility doesn’t look like much of anything really. Their current grounds are a dump. They’re a small-medium sized club in the grand scheme of things and aren’t going to have the money to build anything close to what the Bills or even other clubs in the Premier League. They do need a new stadium as it is very dated. It has plenty of “character” though. Just a shame it’s filled by absolute love weapons every game. Luton itself is a *****-tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note…I wasn’t comparing it to the Bills stadium design…just to the timeline. I will say though that the Luton renderings are still pretty unimpressive even for a small market club.

Will be sad when it has gone to be replaced by yet another generic matchbox bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they bulldoze it then forget the build the new one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repulsif Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Can someone remember me which London zone/location/area I should look/target for, in order to have a not that long access to the stadium on gameday, and be able to re-visit the town (museums, city in general), I will be there I think for 4 days. @GunnerBill @BritBill ? Bonus, did you already set a pub/something to meet where I could join the day before/after/after the game ? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance Easiest way to get from station to stadium is get the London Overground to White Hart Lane station from Liverpool Street station. You can get to Liverpool St via a number of Tube lines. But has been mentioned before, London is so easy to get around due to the Tube you won’t find it difficult to get anywhere you’d like to go. As for pubs, I don’t think anywhere “official” has been announced for a meet up. We’re staying over in Euston the night before the game so will be having breakfast in the Euston Flyer pub before the game then jumping on the Tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit, do you know if the NFL is still closing Regent Street on Saturday? They held a huge NFL Experience there when we saw the Bills five years ago. Not sure if the pandemic put a pause on that.

I hope they do as the one before the previous Bills game in London was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 OKay, bought the tickets. Felt sorry for @Augie so he is sitting with us so some poor Brit does not need to see his mug all day. At least I am used to it! Were staying quite a bit away from the stadium, over on the SouthBank. But this location and airbnb was more important than the 50-minute tube ride on Sunday to my wife! So that's where we staying!!!! @BritBilland @GunnerBill need some help with EPL stuff!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They close the entire road to traffic and have NFL related stalls. Games, merch that kind of thing. They also have a stage where players from the teams come and answer questions and stuff. That's the best bit. The one before the Bills previous London game was excellent. 6 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: OKay, bought the tickets.

I’m just sitting there to try to minimize the amount of shame you might bring upon our fine nation. I will do my best, but I can make no promises! The EPL stuff would be awesome if I can work any of that in. I’d rather do that than see every cathedral and museum in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Ticket prices on StubHub slowly starting to reduce. Still high but on their way down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 @BritBill @GunnerBill From what I'm reading online, England doesn't allow ticket resales to be above list price. Is that true? Also, besides ticketmasterUK (which doesn't list the game), what London websites do people use to sell tickets? I can only seem to find them for sale on US sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
