Double decker red buses packed with Bills fans everywhere.  I’ve seen thousands of Bills fans and only 1 Jags fan through 2 days.  

 

That one Jags fan must be getting around a lot, I've seen several posts about people seeing them.

Bills fans all over London. Just phenomenal. 
 

We just left the NFL Experience at the Battersea Power Station. Cool area but it was so much better on Regents Street when we played here in 2016. 

 

They already sold out of Bills merchandise - some fans are not happy lol.

 

We also just met Sal! Carpaccio - great guy. 
 

Go Bills!

Just wait till the game.  They ran out of Beef on Weck before the 1st quarter was even done.  They don't plan very well for Bills fans.

When you've got Shad Khan's money, you go anywhere you please. 😁

After this weekend, I envision a 21st century rewrite of 'Our American Cousin' to reflect Bills Mafia.

We’ve been to the NFL Experience at Battersea, NFL Live and walked from Trafalgar Sqaure to Euston and Bills fans are out in huge numbers. 
 

I’ve been to 7 London games and this is by the far the most fans of one team I’ve seen wandering around London. I hope they all have tickets to the game!

Get some real ale on cask if you're here. Served at cellar temp and most are true sessions that you can enjoy all day and still be good to go. Really damn good.

 

Had more than a few last night near my hotel in Southwark. Into them again this afternoon. 

 

And most of the day I only saw the same solitary Jags fan everyone else has.....at Tower of London. Then spotted three more at Buckingham palace.

I strolled all over town again today, and one thing jumped out at me: at least 80% of the people who gave me a “Go Bills!” were NOT wearing Bills gear. Maybe saving it for game day?  So, if you think it looks like a lot of us out there, it’s actually far more. Can’t wait to see them all tomorrow!

 Speaking of the Jags’ owner, my son and I went to the Fulham-Sheffield Utd soccer game today and sat next to an old time Fulham fan who was (in a very British, understated way) cursing him out for not spending any money on the club. (He owns both Fulham FC and the Jags—thank God there’s no hockey team involved!)
 

Somewhat shockingly, the best seats in the house/stadium where Fulham plays are unusable because the builders did a crappy job and that part of their stadium is unstable. Unreal in the modern sports era I’d have thought. 


Time to sue the builders and rebuild that part of the stadium…..

 

And yes, I second the emotion above about gazillions of Bills fans compared to a handful of Jags fans. I’ve never said “Go Bills!” this many times outside our stadium….

I didn't have my gear on when I was out and about today. Will have a Marcel Darues jersey on tomorrow. Should make me unpopular with both fanbases haha.

What a brilliant curry night on Brick Lane. Great food and even better company.

 

Thank you so much to everyone who made it. We even had @NI Bills Fan call in through the window and other Bills fans give us a GO BILLS! as they walked by the restaurant. 
 

The evening was an absolute pleasure.

We are nearby. I haven’t looked into any of this at all yet, but is there anything nearby the stadium? Any kind of tailgating? Options inside? How early would you suggest arriving at the stadium. This will be a different kind of game day for me!

I have never been on enemy territory before. There are a few pubs nearby. Per @Wayne Cubed the Antwerp Arms is the designated Bills pub.

Did you seriously go to London without me?  I fit in a suitcase, I’ve tried it.

I decided for socks and underwear in my carry-on instead. No offense!  It might get chilly if I checked my bag. 🤷‍♂️

Bills Mafia takes over London ahead of Jaguars game

 

Quote

Everywhere you turn in London, you are likely to see someone donning some red, white and blue Bills gear. The same cannot be said for Jacksonville Jaguars fans. On a walking tour of London on Saturday, the Bills Mafia outnumbered Jaguars fan around 300-3.
