Home Marketing

December 17, 2021 by nflinlondon

The NFL announced this week that they have granted marketing rights to 18 teams across 26 territories around the world.

Global NFL fans were left to ask themselves, ‘what the heck does this mean? Am I getting a VHS tape of NFL games?’
Not really, you’re getting Home Marketing!

With this new acronym (IMHA), the NFL is allowing teams to reach out directly to the fans, and fan groups to help promote their team(s), as well as develop more of a global following.

If you are looking for some old VHS tapes of NFL games, now you can ask the teams directly!

What Does it Mean for NFL Fans?

Being an NFL fan around the world, means you don’t get as much ‘love’ as the average NFL fan stateside.

Not only do fans have to watch the games at an ungodly hour, but they must suffer through some of the more popular local sports like soccer…rugby…or The Masked Singer. Uggghh!

With this new Home Marketing plan, now fans and fan groups can directly work with the teams, and their marketing departments to offer a more comprehensive fan experience to those outside the country.

It means that fan groups can grow organically, and leaves less chance of fan groups being bullied by the league, local TV networks and bars for trying to support their favourite team(s).

UK Bound

The UK was one of the territories to be a part of this new program, with 6 NFL teams being selected to dance with the fans.

Although slightly less than Mexico’s 9 teams, the UK has once again been rewarded for having fans that not only truly the game, but also support it, no matter what kind of craziness is going on in the world.

NFL in London is one of the largest NFL promoters in Europe, so we will let you know what we hear, and any important news to NFL UK fans.

The six teams that have been selected to take part in the home marketing initiative in the UK includes:

Chicago Bears

Boasting one of the UK’s biggest Bear fans in our man Wade, this is exciting news for all Chicago fans.

The Chicago Bears are one of the few teams in the UK without an active social scene like some of the other fan clubs.
That could change with the Bears now able to pinpoint English fans, and provide them with plenty of Chicago Bears merchandise that has never been seen across the pond.

Welcome to London Chicago Bears!

Jacksonville Jaguars

It’s no surprise that the Jags were included in this list, given their boots on the ground policy from over a decade ago.

Jacksonville has continued to grow their UK fanbase, even while the home numbers dwindled.

Jags UK fans have suffered through expansion hiccups, the Bortles era, Minshew-Mania, and now Urban Decay…but they still keep coming back.

Shad Khan and the Jags team should be happy to reward such faithful fans over the years.

Minnesota Vikings

Tapping into their Scandi heritage, the Vikings have never shied from their European roots.

Minnesota has a new miracle, as the Vikes are another lucky team to be welcomed into the British fold.

The Vikings are another NFC north team to slip across the pond, and the fans couldn’t be happier!

Minnesota Vikings have a solid UK and European fanbase that truly deserves this honour, and will definitely not let the team down!

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins have had a grip on the UK since the Marino and NFL Channel 4 years.

Miami has a surprising amount of fans in England, and might have something to do with the fact that the weather is exactly the opposite to the UK.

Poor Dolphins fans have also had a tough decade in the AFC East, watching TB12 and Billy Boy take title after title, despite a slew of draft picks.

If you needed a second NFL team from Florida, you got one now.

NY Jets

Ever since Jets owner Woody Johnson put the ‘ass; in Ambassador, the New York Jets have circled around the capital.

While Jets fans stateside have been wearing face coverings even before began, English fans have been able to travel in relative anonymity.

This will all change as the New York Jets are another team to grace our shores with their football.

It’s been a rough few years on the Jets, so be nice to them. Who knows you might even be able to make the team?

San Francisco 49ers

San Francisky? Hoo yeah!

Ever since Joe Montana did his thing in the 80s’, the 49ers have been a popular team logo to see on the streets of England.

San Fran and the 49ers are not only hugely popular in the UK, but they are also the most recent of all the teams to go to the Super Bowl!
So there’s that.

Welcome to the United Kingdom San Fran! Mind the gap.

NFL in London

For all those teams that don’t know us, why not reach out.

We love to host parties for all the fans, as well as get communities of fan groups involved in exciting activities.

Here we grow again NFL!

Biden Time

Joe Biden was out and about, and quick to remind NFL fans the need for health safety.

Or else he just hates Aaron Rodgers and wanted to make a fool of him.

Sports Bed

May 18, 2020 by nflinlondon

Sports bars look to be done & dusted for the foreseeable future, so it looks like the home is where the game is.

Even if games do resume, there have been numerous discussions around how these will be played for safety of players & fans alike. Spaced seating, higher prices, limited food & no alcohol all loom in the future. We all know how disgusting stadium washrooms are & they are a hotbed if viruses to begin with.

Can you really enjoy the NFL on Zoom with your mates? You’re going to have to. Sports bars will be staggered as the season starts, & fans will be hard pressed to want to go out to watch Sunday games. It was a hard enough sell for many bars to show NFL games before, that slope just got steeper.

Here’s the ideal situation for NFL viewing in the age of Corona. A bigass bed with seats, buckets, & room galore. This is the new NFL.

London-Princess Alexandra

October 5, 2019 by nflinlondon

Welcome to London!
Hope you are all having a splendid time here in the UK, and that you are very excited to see the Sunday game between the Bears & Raiders at Tottenham stadium.

If you’re not going to the game-join us to watch it at the Princess Alexandra, in leafy Crouch End.
It is a traditional British pub, that has been set up for sport-so you will have loads of angles to watch the games.
princessalexandran8.co.uk

If you are planning on joining us after the game-grab a ticket now! The late license takes us until 4am-WAY later than most of the places you will find in London.
www.eventbrite.com/o/nfl-in-london-17838428996
It will be a great NFL party in a traditional British pub.
Warm your feet by the fire after a wet night of victory.
Close to central London, the stadium, and with late night travel links.

Here are some top tips for getting to us on Sunday.

Getting There
Crouch End is one of the 3 hamlets of this area of north London-along with Muswell Hill and Highgate.
While there isn’t a tube station in the village-Finsbury Park station is less than 10 minutes away via the W7 or W3 buses.
Archway station on the Northern line, also has a direct bus-41, that takes you close to the pub.
You can also get there via overground rail links via Hornsey or Harringay stations, which are close by bus as well.
The 91 and 41 buses can also get you there from Trafalgar Square or Archway.
Or just take an Uber, screw it. It’s your vacation.
tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/w7/

The Pub
A locally owned pub with a great tradition of sport. There are 3 massive tvs and a HUGE projector, so all of the NFL games will be playing throughout the night.
There are 2 outdoor areas as well, so you smokers will be taken care of.
Getting to the Game
Tottenham Stadium/ White Hart Lane/ WHL is very close to Crouch End, & has a sneaky way of reaching it. Walk out of the pub 300m to the right, & on your left hand side is Park Road bus stop served by the W3 bus. Tap your bank card or Oyster card to ride. It’s about 30 minutes-19 stops direct to the stadium, & you will bypass a lot of traffic and police cordons. Arsenal play at 2pm, so the game should finish by 4pm. Time your journey to avoid the rush. 3pm or 5pm would be ideal. Since there’s no tailgate at the stadium nor atmosphere for 60000 fans, try to stay where you are then bolt at the last minute to get in and save money.

Food
Loads of great pub grub. Since it is a Sunday-the Sunday roasts will be flowing until we run out. There will also be wings, burgers, nachos and other nibbles to sop up the booze. Earlier you get there, the more food available. Victory tastes good.

The Party
Loads of Bears fans will descend on the Alex in celebration after a crushing win over the Raiders. We will be showing loads of 6pm games-Bears vs Raiders, NFL Redzone as well as the 9pm games of Packers vs Cowboys. Will A-a-ron beat Dax in this hot contest? The 1am game between the Colts and Chiefs will also pop on to close out the night. Please make sure you have a ticket, we don’t want people disappointed they can’t get in.

Parking
Loads of parking in Crouch End, and anything north of Priory Park is FREE all night. So even if you have to ditch the wheels, you’re set. It’s a quiet hood, so you won’t have far to park on the council streets.
Crouch End is close to the north circular in case you need to boogie outta town.

Getting home
It’s 4am-how do you get home? The tubes are closed-but the buses are not. Luckily the N91 bus goes straight to Trafalgar square via Kings Cross in 40/20 minutes. Easy peasy. Also, if you have Uber on your phone-you’re set. It’s about £15 to central London at that time of night-unless they surge price.
There is also a local park (Priory Park) you can probably sleep in for free if you’re adept at scaling 5 foot fences. You might get spray-tagged by local hoodlums before you rise, but it serves as a potential respite from a boozy game. Forecast calls for rain, so tune up your hobo skills.
www.tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/n91/

Tickets
You will need tickets after 9pm. We do this so the bar knows how many people are coming, and we can let you in on the offer. £5 for a ticket & includes a welcome beer. Where in London do you get a ticket that includes a FREE pint for a fiver?
It will be a busy night, so please make sure you buy in advance.
Get yours here

Bears in London

October 2, 2019 by nflinlondon

The Bears are in London!
Well…not really.
They don’t get here until Friday, so you won’t really get a chance to see or meet them.

Loads of London venues have started to ‘Bear Down’ despite having no idea about the game.

It’s nice to see people get into the spirit of the games, and support either Raider Nation or the Bears.

We were sent these from a venue near London Bridge.
Good to see people getting into the spirit of it all!
