Thankfully, this is a Jaguars home game.

I am fine with an overseas game as long as it is not a home game for us. It would be good if we played out east for a game then went on to London to get adjusted to the time difference.
The easily identified good side: People outside the normal viewing market will not have trouble finding the game.

I kind of like these overseas games. Amazing to see how many people outside the US watch "American" football.
I'm a little ho-hum about the matchup, though. The Jags? The team that Chicago just routed 41-3? On the flip side, they put up a better fight against the Vikings than we did. Would have liked the Saints or Patriots game, though. Better matchup and takes their home field advantage away. :p

 Today is a good day!
How many of you would have travelled to Jacksonville anyway? Like you say at least its a road game.
So if you can't be happy yourselves, just be happy for me! 
Still equates to a 400 mile round trip, but its a bit closer than California! |

I really hate that they want football in other countries.

WHAT?! WHY!?
I come here and very rarely comment but read other comments and look for links to articles etc. I am a HUGE 49ers fan and have been for as long as I can remember (having decided to follow them while my old man tried to convince me the Raiders were the best team!). I also happen to be from and live in the UK.
I have been to San Fran but it was in the offseason so have never been able to go to a game there but did go and see the niners at Wembley a few years ago against the Broncos. It was great to be able to see the team I have followed since a child and probably know as much about as most fans (although it was a dire game but the mighty Troy Smith came through in the end!)
I think a lot of americans would be surprised with the level of interest in the NFL here and the more exposure people get to it the better. I now get the landlord of my local pub to put the NFL on the TV on Sunday nights to watch redzone and even after the first few weeks a number of my friends now take an interest. This surely can only be a good thing for the NFL and playing in the UK could attract new fans of the 49ers which surely is good for the franchise?
I understand not wanting to lose a home game but a) this is a Jags home game and b) it always comes across that players enjoy coming to the UK and experiencing something new that can have a positive affect on team unity. |

at least it's not a home game for us, and as someone else mentioned it will be a lot easier for some of us fans not around SF to watch it.. Harbaugh & Co. have been great about managing our guys on the road, so I don't see anything affecting the team's play.

This may be a Jags home game on paper, but I can't imagine the crowd being any less than 90% pro-49ers.
Here's to hoping that they're still starting Gabbert and coached by Mike Mularkey by the time this game rolls around next year.

I was at the game in London in 2010, and I can assure you fans will be on our side. They love the niners. What I loved more than anything is how everybody cheered when they updated the score of the Cowboys game, and they were losing. People hate the Cowboys, and that just warmed my heart.
And honestly, we owe London, because last time, we gave them Troy Smith's first start with the niners, and a very bad game overall, with Hostler-like offensive playcalling. We did win, but only because the Broncos played an even worse game than us. So, they deserve better, next time.

Mainly I think it definitely messes with the players.

Nah we'll be fine - Harbaugh will just have the team spend a week in Wales.
