NFL in the UK??? The London Wembley games?

I've never kept up with American Football but I recently heard of the international games hosted in London and it has been doing so for the past couple of years.

I never knew such thing existed and was wondering what the British think of the sport and if it's mostly British folk that go to the games or Americans traveling there?

    It's mostly ex-pats, US service-personnel based in Europe and American tourists. Only a handful of British people like American football.

    Some of us think that Wembley shouldn't be desecrated with any form of football that involves carrying the ball.

    I've gone the past 3 years and am going again this year. While there are a number of American expats and Americans to fly over just for the game, most of the crowd are British who are either fans of American football or sports fans just curious about the game

    When I went last year, I was with a group of 10 people and only 2 of us were American, one was French and everyone else was British. The people in the rows in front of and behind us were British and I spent a lot of time explaining what was happening.
