The 'check-in' thread!

**UKRaven** · 12-12-2011, 06:07 AM

I want to know who is still reading the forum UKRaven wise? There are a lot of posts on the facebook page. If we need to alter things we should do.

Just put a simple 'still here' note on this thread please?

Still here! can't get on facebook at work so keep an eye on this forum more.

Plan to take more of a look at the facebook page sometime though and maybe put the pics from the Bengals/Niners games up if i can

Still here/newly joined.

I'm on the facebook page too.

Also, where's the best/easiest place to get a ravens jersey in the UK? I know the official supplier switches to reebok next season so i'll probably wait until then, hopefully they make it slightly easier for us UK fans to get merch.

I got my Flacco jersey from the NFLUK shop. It's not too bad but only does replicas.

Switches to Nike and yes, it's a good idea to wait until the summer.
I think it's worth the extra to get the Premier. It has stitching while the replica just has printing

I don't have a recommendation but I'd advise against using the official NFL shop

You get caught for customs charges, ok annoying but fair enough
UPS lash on an "administration fee" and demand cash on delivery for dealing with customs. Thirteen euro so maybe ten sterling. UPS are thieves

Thanks for the help, yeah I knew it was switching to Nike, not sure why I wrote reebok.
Anyway, I would be looking to get the premier definitely. A few of my friends have replicas and the paint starts peeling etc, but my mate has a premier titans(grrrr) one that I thought was pretty sturdy.

Yeah I've heard all customs charges etc can be a pain so I'd be looking to get it from a uk supplier. Fingers crossed Nike release a greater selection for us

I am in attendance on occasion.

Thanks to everyone who checked-in.
As I said it is difficult with the activity on facebook to know the best way of having conversations, particularly in the off season. I admit to being distracted with my son's rugby at the moment - althuough thay have just reached the Yorkshire Cup final!!!!

**Irish Raven** · 03-06-2012, 03:14 AM

Union or League?

When I was in Yorkshire we went to see Wakefield Tigers. Rugby league seems to be huge up north
It exists in Ireland but it's not popular much

Went to McAlpine Stadium too which I suppose is local to you for a football game, fantastic architecture, I loved the design

**UKRaven** · 03-07-2012, 08:07 AM

Living in the birthplace of Rugby League - Huddersfield, and coming from Hull. It has to be Union !!!

I love both codes having played and watched both of them over the years. Pity there are so many narrow minded people who actively dislike the other codes.
Mind you there are less of those then the massive number who think soccer is a good game!
