We’re here!

Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft speaks with the media outside the The Brit Oval Cricket Grounds in Kennington, London on Friday, October 23, 2009.

Team PFW is on the ground in Great Britain. We arrived well ahead of schedule after a smooth flight over the Atlantic. Which was great, because it gave us a chance to check into the hotel and get a few extra winks to get our body clocks adjusted to the 5-hour time difference (4 hours after tomorrow, when the UK turns its clocks back, which we’ll do in the US next weekend).

Anyway, no pictures to post just yet, other than the ones of Brady and Belichick in the previous post, but Andy and Paul are out at the practice facility right now, so expect a report from them later today. In the meantime, I’ll be heading out with a contingent of Patriots staff and guests on a tour of London in a little while. Look for an all-new PFW Hits The Road posting sometime later today …

It’s great to be in the UK on a bright, sunny, autumn Friday. Looking very forward to seeing all that this wonderful, historic city has to offer, including meeting the hundreds of our UK fans who’ll be in attendance tomorrow night at the Sports Cafe.

P.S. There were some gorgeous women serving as flight attendants on our Virgin Atlantic charter. Excellent hires, Sir Richard!

    Hey Erik, Where in London are you going to be visiting?

  2. Ben from London Says:

    Out of curiousity I was wondering what practice facilities the Pats are using? because I know Chelsea Football Club’s training facility has been used before.

    Go Pats! can’t wait to be at the game on Sunday evening!

  3. Paul, London Says:

    Hopefully see you there Erik, might go over to where practice is and see if I can spot bighead or Perillo

  4. John in L.A. Says:

    Have a great time, ES. Ditto to the PFW gang, Ben and Paul and James and all the rest of the UK contingent.
