NFL Tailgating

[keith157]

Well the NFL season started last night, anyone had any experience with tailgate parties?
No I'm not thinking of doing one, but had a recent readthrough of ray Lampe's book with some interesting ideas. I know it's big in the States (what isn't ) has anyone heard of any college games here holding similar parties?

I tried to get to the tailgate party at the Wembley game last season, sadly missed out thou.

Looking forward to Sunday, food and beer stocked up, cant wait.

Missus will be pleased it's back on

I take it you watch it on Channel 4 rather then Sky? Did you know the BBC were apparantly showing Monday night footbal around midnight on the red button?

I have Sky Keith, Starts a 6 in the afternoon, straight through to 1 in the morning.

I didn't realise that, I think sky show that to, a little to late for me on a school night

The Tailgating party at last years game was pants. It was really a way to get you in early to eat some (really poor) food and drink some (really expensive) beer. The only thing that was worth visit was the cheerleaders that they had performing before the game. It allowed the punters to get some close up action shots!

I went to a tailgating party in Philli and Seattle, amusing to say the least!

Don't forget Thursday night football, on Sky. The BBC have the rights to Monday night football but are showing it on the red button and I've no idea how to set up to record it other than being there and pressing record

How very dare you

You either love it or hate it, you need to have a lot of patience.

Gald I didn't bother with the tailgate then Cuan, You going this year?

LOL - patience - yes. It is almost as boring as Cricket And I grew up in the US too Of the American major league sports, I find Basketball and Baseball much more interesting.

Nope...


Being an ex rugby player, I don't understand what all the padding, helmets etc are for...
4 nurofen before a match always did the trick, mind you, you knew about it the following day!

Only joking Dan, each to their own, I see the appeal but like you said, you need patience, it's too stop start for my liking.
