International Redskins Fans - check-in here!

[Chadwiko]

G'Day folks!

With the season fast approaching, I thought it'd be a good time to get a thread going for all the international Redskins fans who will be watching the pre-season and regular season games at all sorts of ungodly hours.

I for one, being from Australia, cannot wait to be crammed up against my computer screen at 3am watching the Skins games live on NFL Gamepass, and i'm sure i'm not the only one out there.

So, how about us international fans start getting to know each other a bit in anticipation!

Mad props from this American. (translation: I love you guys :-)

It's always fun to hear from international fans. Hopefully this thread will be populated soon.

Hey Fellas, thanks for setting this thread up.

I'm from Samoa. Samoa used to be the same day as the US, now we have moved a day ahead, in line with NZ and Australia. Bottom line is, what used to be Sunday night football, which was live locally on ESPN at 2.00pm, is now Moday night football here, and MNF is now Tuesday etc...

I now have to take sick leave to watch any Skins game, whether it be SNF or MNF depending on the ESPN's TV schedule. Sucks but what can you do.

I envy chadwiko and his NFL gamepass. lol...

Skins fan from France here! I have spent many years watching the Redskins at 7:00, 10:00 or even 2:00 am, even when I had to work or go to school. I'm moving to America in a couple of months so this is pretty much over for me :P It has become pretty much easier to watch the NFL overseas with the NFL gamepass now though...I won't be in the DC area, so I'm gonna have to pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket which is more expensive than the gamepass! I'm not complaining though lol I hope I can make it to a game at fedex next year. Going to the ES tailgate is on my bucket list :P

Mine too! I'm planning on coming over for the 2013/2014 season, and i'm really hoping to be in a position to meet up with some regulars who goto every game, tailgate, etc. You know, get the REAL FedEx field home game experience

Beeing an European football fan really works i.m.o. Games start around 19.00, end around 5.30. Sure it cuts down you sleeping time pretty bad but you got the day time to do stuff.

The last Redskins game I didn´t saw live was the ´07 wilcard game against Seattle. For me it works great.

Like my name already says im from Germany...

I never miss a game even if that means gettin up at 2am... Was at FedEx two years ago and me and my girl plan a NYC trip this year including the Skins at MetLife Stadium...

[HailtoClark#84]

I'm a D.C. Native but living in Austria(the place without the Kangaroos)!
Always having issues with seeing the game online.
Was thinking of the NFL Gamepass.Is it expensive??

It's AU$135 for me. I have no idea if the prices are different in the EU though, sorry.

Well worth it though. Nothing beats getting up at 3am to watch the Skins. And this year with RGIII? I doubt i'll be able to fall asleep the night before :P
