Come on the Cowboys

Bears at Eagles on Black Friday, host Packers the Saturday before Christmas. No doubt taking on the Villa tradition of ruining festive periods.

Spanish one looks the most interesting to me.

We'll do the Tottingham games.

My mate has also started angling to start doing the Wemberleee game again (we stopped due to the prices).

Not too keen on three trips to that London in three weeks

Dublin interests me, but I dread to think what the hotel prices will be like

Prefer Wembley to Tottenham, much less of a hassle to get out afterwards, can be at London Bridge in half an hour if you're quick.

Pre-sale for Rams v Jags @ Wemberleee is Mon 19th May

[cdbearsfan]

That's earlier than usual, isn't it?

Spurs is a far better stadium than Wembley.

We jog / brisk walk* to Tottenham Hale after the game, then enjoy the bemused looks on people's faces of those lining up in Seven Sisters station
(* me as lead blocker and my skinny mate following)

Bit of a long Tube trip back to the car in UXB, I'll give you that.

Can't remember. As mentioned above, we haven't done Wembley for a while.

No prices listed yet

[cdbearsfan]

Thanks. Agree on Tottenham being better, but I don't mind ramshackle Wembley tbh. When Villa aren't there, pissing me off.

[AV82EC]

I’d agree on the Spurs over Wembley vibe.

With College Football, I heard about this sponsored match mentioned on a podcast recently.

Pre-sale for Rams v Jags @ Wemberleee is Mon 19th May

I don't seem to have been eligible for that window. Hopefully get some next window.

[cdbearsfan]

Got myself some Rams/Jags tickets. Seems you can go straight in now if anyone else wants any. Either they're not as popular as previous years or they've succeeded in clamping down on the touts.
