    Well one bit of good news - you will have to suffer one fewer home game next season as the Jets return to the UK as the home team in 2025.

    I guess lil Woody bought himself another ambassador position. I wonder what rash reactions he will make after they get embarrassed at his tea party this time?

    Yeah... and if we get our asses kicked by the Browns, whomever the new HC is will get fired before the plane lands at Newark airport.

    I hope the Jets lose again. Part of me thinks Woody was campaigning for a London move then the Vikings game happened and he got embarrassed again.

    Woodys way of screwing the fans with one less home game. Season ticket holders should get a discount next year if they don’t already.

    Color me stupid (which I am, anyway), but I was just reading that Jets, Jax, and Browns will all be 'home' games in London, which of course means the other 3 teams are playing 'away'.

    So stay with my head made of concrete. That means there are 8 home and 8 away games in the U.S.chargeable to season ticket holders across the season when a team plays internationally. So far so good.

    However, does that mean that some season tix holders are gaining a 9th home game and not paying for it or losing a 9th home game and paying for it? o_Oo_Oo_O

    International games have been going on since 2007, when of course it was still 16 games, but how was THAT figured out? Pay for 8 home games when you only get 7?
    HA!, you read my mind while I was in the middle of a long mind fck post going down the same path.

    I know it's some ridiculously complicated rotational bs since 17 games started in 2021 (who gets 9 home games, who gets 8), but the fact remains that owners are cashing in on more revenue when a 9th home game has been assigned while the visiting team season ticket holders are getting screwed on their invoices by getting charged for 9 games and only getting 8.

    Bottom line is it's a shell game based on so much technicality that it would be extremely difficult to explain it in lay terms.

    Browns are one of the other home teams so we won't be playing them - the NFL is blessing us with some great choices:
    - Jets
    - Browns
    - Jags

    I thought they were trying to attract more fans not turn them off the sport altogether.

    There is a great FB group I am in which makes it easy to get tickets at original cost I can link you to if you like - I have never had a problem.

    We attended the Jets Vikings game at Tottingham Hotspur last October. Stadium was OK but getting out of there after the game was a nightmare. If you do go make sure you have a private conveyance to get you back to your hotel and don't rely on public transportation which becomes quickly overwhelmed when 66,000 fans suddenly show up on the streets.

    Had a blast though with the Gang Green UK, French Jet Fans, German Jet Fans, Dutch Jet Fans group and the pre game events!

    Pity its not at Wembley - larger ground and far better access for fans with Tube Station close by and not far off the motorway network.

    He may have, but not the one he used to have. On December second Trump named Warren Stephens as his candidate for the Ambassadorship to the United Kingdom post.

    If you're thinking Woody needs something else to be criticized for, you'll need to dig a little deeper; I think he already has enough on his plate.

    Perhaps he could be Ambassador to the Tottenham Marshes since he is used to operating in a swamp. Success is a different story.

    Jets and Browns are both identified as home teams in England so if the Jets plan on losing to Cleveland they'll have to do it in New Jersey. Carolina, on the other hand, is going to be a "home" game for the Jets - be careful what you wish for.

    I don’t know if I’ll go this time. The product will be shit and it will cost a fortune in travel and accommodation. I’m tempted to hang out with other Jets fans, but the team is just bloody awful.
