2nd game confirmed to be played in UK in 2010!
I have been a member of this fantastic site for over a year now, but this is my first fanpost cos I am totally useless with computers so I hope this goes OK!
Anyway, am putting this post up cos, whilst watching the NFL games shown here on British TV yesterday, both the networks-both Sky TV and Channel 5-interviewed the director of NFLUK who confirmed that there will be a 2nd regular season game played in England from next season onwards!
It was mentioned that both games are likely to be played at Wembley Stadium in London and, whilst the teams involved could not be confirmed, the Niners were seriously mentioned as being one of them!
Obviously, I would be over the moon if this was the case as it would be the only chance I have of getting to see them live - since the came over in 1989 anyway to play the Dolphins in a pre-season game-and will therefore be doing everything possible to obtain a ticket. However, I was writing this to see what your opinions would be if the Niners decided to come here to play a regular season game - especially if it was a home game that they up!
I've attached a poll to see the level of support for and against either way, and would appreciate it if you could give your reasons why.
