Drew Brees comes knocking – just the ticket (maybe)!
Hooray my tickets arrived this morning for the San Diego Chargers v New Orleans Saints game at Wembley Stadium, now just two weeks away.

Can any non-NFL fan in the UK recognise Ladanian Tomlinson?
I have a few observations with just over two weeks before the San Diego Chargers play the New Orleans Saints in London, England …..
As a registered NFLUK member I seem to keep getting emails saying that tickets are still available, whether it is returns or TicketMaster just magically finding the odd billet down the back of [...]
