I'd much rather go all the way to San Francisco to see us play than watch us with 90,000 people of which about only 20,000 know exactly what's going on and a stadium full of day tripping idiots doing the wave for 10 minutes.

I thought you guys called it The Mexican Wave?

We do, but I upset a few people when I called it that on here last time, so went for safety first this time!

2 games in the UK confirmed. No teams to be confirmed until January.

I think the Jags will be certs for one, the other... not sure.

For the love of god, please don't give up a home game Niners Front Office. This is an impassioned call from a loyal and devoted 49ers fan, we don't want to lose games to the UK.

I doubt it. Not enough Niner fans in this day and age to ttract an oversees NFL game. There's only 2 reasons why a team would be "forced" to play a home game abroad.

1) they have a dynamic offense/defense OR a star player (recognition purposes) to keep the fans tuned in).

2) they have bright colors/logos, so the young crowds may take a peek.

Niners dont really fit either of those molds, unless BOTH TO and Reggie Bush sign.
