    Who is heading over to Twickers for the biggest game of the International series this year?

    Looking forward to dusting off the Josh Cribbs Jersey.

    What does it be like around Twickenham for the game? I'm flying into Heathrow (20 mins from the stadium) early in the AM and heading home that night.

    Does there be a Tailgate party close by?

    Also, i don't have tickets yet but even though there are no tickets available right now. This should be the least attractive of the lot and i should be fine, right?

    I'm going and was at the Rams/Giants game at Twickenham last year. The only downside with games there, IMO, is that the stadium is a royal pain in the arse to get to. They run free shuttle buses constantly from and to the nearest Tube & Overground stations but it's still much more hassle for most people than Wembley is (and Wembley isn't exactly easy to get to).

    They had a very good fanzone setup last year - much better than what they had at Wembley. Huge number of massive screens to watch Redzone and it was very easy to get beers. Big queues but good setup and you weren't waiting for long. Additionally all the pubs around the train stations at Twickenham & Richmond had events on and everywhere looked busy. If you're coming from Heathrow then there may well be some stuff on near Hounslow too.

    The game is sold out. Keep an eye on the NFLUK twitter as tickets which weren't sold over in the US will be going back on sale soon. Failing that you'll need to buy on the resale market.

    Thanks for that , Beefy.

    Yeah i can't seen it being properly sold out. Tickets will be got handy enough i hope. `

    That's encouraging about the area around Twickenham.

    Will be making the trek myself. First time going to the game in Twickenham, been the Wembley the last couple of years.

    Something I never really discovered from previous trips is what pub would people recommend to watch redzone in after the game?

    Is there a popular spot for fans to flood into to catch the other matches?

    For what it's worth, I was at the Cards Rams game last week in Twikenham and there was plenty of people selling tickets outside the ground so you should pick one up handy enough. Enjoy the day, the tailgate outside the ground is good fun.

    I believe they keep the tailgate open after the game to show it. Can't confirm though as I didn't stick around myself.

    Obviously the game has happened now but for the record in case this gets looked at before a game next year the fanzone only stays open for 90 minutes after the games which isn't great for Redzone. The better play is to get the shuttle bus to Richmond and watch the games in the pub on the high street just by where the bus drops off. Looked great craic in there Sunday night.

    Yeah was a real shame as last year it felt it went on longer after the rams giants game and there was a dj going aswell.
    Must be to keep the neighbours happy.
