PATSFANUK IN LONDON AS THE PATS DEFEAT THE RAMS AT WEMBLEY
WOW! What an excellent weekend in London....

Day 1 - Saturday 27th October 2012
NFL Fan Rally
PatsFan UK arrived in London on Saturday 27th October at lunchtime and after checking into our hotel near Wembley Stadium, travelled by Tube (London Underground) to Trafalgar Square in Central London for the official NFL Fan Rally. Unfortunately we arrived too late to see the current team's players on the stage but did see the Patriots Cheerleaders perform and former Pats RB Curtis Martin and Jaguars RB Fred Taylor.

UK Patriots Party
After a quick pint and bite to eat we then moved onto the Sports Cafe in Haymarket, Central London for the official UK Patriots pre-game party. We met up with over 500 Pats fans at the party and enjoyed the hospitality from UK Pats with special guests from the Patriots, including owner Bob Kraft, the Patriots Cheerleaders, Pat Patriot and former players John Smith and Scott Zolak. 
Day 2 - Sunday 28th October 2012
NFL Pre-Game Tailgate Party & GBTP 6
More followed on the Sunday, game day, as we checked out the official NFL Pre-Game Tailgate Party near the stadium at 11am and then onto GBTP 6 at the Green Man in Wembley with thousands of football fans in attendance at both events leading up to kick off time. The UK Patriots also had GBTP as their base and the Patriots were very well represented at the party with a special 'Patriot Bitter' beer being sold at the event.

Patriots Game - New England Patriots Vs St. Louis Rams
After GBTP it was onto Wembley Stadium itself for the big game. A sell-out crowd of over 84,000 packed Wembley Stadium to bursting and created an electric atmosphere for the sixth game in the NFL International Series. We enjoyed an excellent view from our middle tier 'Club Wembley' seats and with Brady, Welker, Gronkowski and all the rest of the Patriots squad playing on UK soil for only the second time, the 45-7 blow-out victory over the Rams was really a great bonus.

Many photos were taken, Patriots fans met and the whole weekend, just like in 2009, was just superb. When can we do it again..??
