The Saints in London !!

Saintree River said

Props to you for representing the Saints in England. I know there is a cult following for the NFL over there. Much like there is a cult folloing for EPL here. Are most English NFL fans Cowboys or Niners fans the same way most people here like Mann U and Chelsea? It would be nice to add to our fan base.

I've been lurking the NFLUK.com forums since this game was announced and there's a small hard-core group of Saints fans including our own Zorro37 on the board, but just as with any non-native sport in a foreign country it's the winners that get all the fans. I don't blame them because that's what games would be broadcast and who the news would cover.

That said, this should be a great opportunity to gain some new fans. We can only go up in fan support since, apparently, we are one of the least supported teams out of the NFLUK.com membership: http://www.nfluk.com/news-display.php?id=1593

It's an interesting board to read. I saw one thread suggesting that all the "neutrals" get behind the Saints since they are the "home" team. :9:
