    Not that you would know... Attendance has been great. Maybe you should attend so we can hear your whining in person !

    Awesome, that means there will actually be a Dolphins-Raiders game with more than 55,000 people in the crowd! Their 3 meetings this decade: 54,000 in Miami last season, 57,000 in Miami 2011 and 48,000 in Oakland in 2010. Though that's pretty much every game for Oakland.

    I think the best news about this is that we'll be playing the Oakland Raiders!

    Indeed. Miami now get the travel advantage against Oakland akin to a home game...plus 5 hours. What's not to like when playing "at" Oakland. :shifty:

    Nice one

    I was done there this year for the Steelers Vikings game (with my mate who's a Raiders fan). Looks like we will have to go back there again next year.

    Just a thought, with the complicated way the NFL organises it's schedule AFTER a season ends, how have they already decided that we will play the Raiders? Oh and bring loads of merchandise !!!!!!!

    Woo-hoo! I'm stoked that Miami are coming over to the UK next year. I'm certainly going to be attending (I'm there for the Jags / San Fran game on Sunday incidentally), so I hope a few of you also make the trip since London's a great place to have a good time. Miami is well represented over here in the fan base, so I'm hoping for a (relatively for a neutral venue) partisan crowd to cheer us on to victory!

    It's not that complicated to determine who plays. It's figuring out when.

    So, are tickets only available via ticketmaster uk? Can I even register and have them send my tickets to Germany? Has anyone done this before?

    Game has been confirmed for Sept 28th at Wembley, time tbc but I expect it will be 6pm local time or 1pm ET. Don't know about ordering tickets from outside the UK unfortunately and how that works, but I do know that fans come from all over Europe for the games so it must be fairly easy to do.

    Thanks, it'll all work out, I hope. Individual game tickets go on sale mid-January (exact date tbc).

    That's week 4, so that means our bye week is most definitely week 5 next season because teams always get their bye after traveling to London.

    Will we ever get a bye week after week 8? It would be nice to get that rest right before the playoff push.

    That was immediately the first thing that I thought off too.

    I'd love to spend my birthday weekend in London watching the Fins next year, but with two kids under three, thats certainly not in the cards.

    Ugh, ANOTHER early bye week. I swear our bye week hasn't been past week 7 in years.

    That said though, playing in London should be fun. The first time lost it's luster because we were 0-7 at the time.

    It's a pretty outrageous advantage for us as an east coast team, we have only a slightly longer trip, whilst the Raiders will be going on an eight hour time difference for a home game.

    I'll be heading down for this one. Not went to any of these games since the I'll fated Dolphins - Giants contest.

    It's less of a flight for the Dolphins, and they're one of the more popular teams in England. Like an extra home game.

    Also, seems we may be likely to play the Lions on Thanksgiving. I think its either Dolphins or Bills, whichever finishes with the better record probably. Lions play an AFC team on Thanksgiving right? Since they played NFC this year. That would be nice...I don't mind Thursday prime-time games but the Thanksgiving day would be better.
