Okay, so the Jets are in London next year and it would be good to see some of my crew here.
I know some of you guys have expressed an interest in coming over which is cool but planning is critical; if people wait until next year before deciding to come believe me London's commercial centre will jump all over demand and prices will be crazy, to that end I would like to make this a sticky so so people can have some insight in to prices and budget accordingly.
There will be no tailgating at Wembley unless you want to go to the official tailgate party which is expensive and you are stuck with buying food and beverage from official outlets. Pubs in the vicinity of Wembley are few and far between so are crammed to the hilt -an alternative suggestion would be to get lubed up in the city and then hit the ground via Tube.
Depending on who is coming over a self catering apartment might work out good value, hotels will be expensive and I would suggest around $150 per night unless you guys want to go right to the extremities of London and commute.
I am thinking if you are coming over- arriving Thursday would give you a chance to settle in, do some of the tourist stuff if that's your scene and also get acclimatised to the time difference. The game is on Sunday so Monday flying home is a decent schedule. I will obviously schedule some entertainment and identify some decent chow venues.
So moving forward anyone interested post names please and be honest with yourselves-
1. "I'm going at all cost" -
2. "I would like to go but need firm costs so I can budget"
3. " I would love to come but unless my circumstances change it's unlikely” -
4. " I can't go so freak you and I hope it rains and the Jets get a 50 Burger and you guys get banged up chanting that homo number.
The quicker we get numbers confirmed the better. I will get on researching some hotels and Self catering joints and post up some figures as soon as I have these.
