Quote:The amount of Jags fans compared to the San Fran game 2 years ago has increased a lot. Lots of shouts of "DUUUVALLL" leaving the stadium, spotted quite a lot of Jags fans. The crowd generally got behind the Jags too, even my Colts friend was cheering for us in the 4th quarter.

 

We're for sure becoming more popular here - Bortles had the most Jags jerseys so I'd imagine some newer fans.

 

I think there is good support but there were some different aspects to seeing a game there.  Fans of teams who are natural rivals in the US seem to pal around unself-consciously at this game.  After the game a group of (what sounded like) German fans with Bill jerseys gathered in a circle and danced happily while singing "Here we go Buffalo, here we go!!!" as if they thought they had won the game.  They seemed very happy.  I think US fans would find Wembley unnaturally quiet.  Me and a guy behind me (Austrian maybe) were about the only ones in our section making any noise when the Jags were on defense.  Another guy (Jag fans) in the section next to us about two rows down was obviously English, but seemed to understand the game very well and was cheering and making noise at the appropriate times.  He was even doing the "move the chains" chant.  While there was some noise at times (near the end of the game particularly), most fans there seemed content to sit quietly and watch the game.  They don't even talk to one another while the game is in progress.  It was a little weird.  They don't show replays and the refs don't communicate with the crowd as much as they do at Everbank.  Dunno why that is.
