hi all
here are some photos from the game in London .
well let me start by saying tina and I made the trip to London for the game . I had to take tina to a show on Saturday nite in the westend and she would then come to the steelers game(small price to pay) . let me explain , we have been married 27 ish years and all that time I have supported the steelers. tina has never watched a full game , ever.
so she said" how long does game last"? I said "3 hours ish" . her reply "im gonna be fed up real quick "!
so after breakfast we make our way down Olympic way . so I could take some photos before the crowd arrived.

all of these photos were taken ,between 9.30am and 10.30 am as u can see the crowd was already starting to arrive. kick off still seven hours ish away.
now in all the time we have been married . tina has never wanted a t shirt with my team on it by now the steeler bug was biting and she bought one lol
we then made our way back to our hotel for a drink or two.also to drop off gameday purchases.tina also wanted to change into her new shirt !
we then met 6 season ticket holders from the steelers and spent the next 2 hours ish (timing is very hazy )chatting and drinking . I do know something. we are all so alike in our views and opinions :)

here are there names (if we have remembered correctly ) Stephen,andy, john,lisa,sandy and jill .we really enjoyed there company and they did say if we ever came to Pittsburgh they would get us tickets to a game :) they also said they had no history to show us which I thought was kinda funny.
now the last one in this post. is after we had staggered ;) from the hotel to the stadium at 3 pm (3 hours before kick off) as u can tell the game of American footie is very popular over here . it was a sell out .
