    Do those who attend notice a Jaguars following develop?

    I forgot todays game was on, but from previous games most of the jerseys in the crowd are from fans of other teams.
    But have these games actually fermented a genuine Jags support base at all yet?

    Unless they were fiddling with the sound on the telly, there seemed to be more of a 'home' support there today. Although there were a lot of Colts jersies.

    I was there, the Jags were definitely more the home team. Really enjoyed it

    Yeh I would agree that the Jaguars were definitely the most followed team at it. We asked ourselves the same question as we walked into Wembley. There is a huge dilution of jerseys from across the NFL obviously as everyone who wants to go to a game will come to this from across Europe. But the Jags were definitely the most supported.

    One moment really did make me think about it though. An American guy in a Pats jersey was sitting behind me and during the 4th quarter asked me if I was just a Jags fan since they started playing in London. He was startled when I told him I actually started following them in 2002. But that does definitely seem to be the big thing. Its all bandwagon fans, but its great to see such a large fan base at the games.

    I heard a stat a couple of weeks ago (on the TalkSport NFL show I think) along the lines that before the Jags first started coming to London they were the 31st most supported team in the UK and now they are the 9th most. So definitely progress.

    I'm developing a bit of a soft-spot for them tbh

    When are tickets expected to be available for the 2017 games?
