Hi Bills fans.

This season, after spending my honeymoon in the states and becoming addicted to (American) football, I declared myself a Buffalo Bills fan. I'm from Scotland and I wish I could explain why I chose the Bills as my team, but I'm not sure I can. Maybe it's the cold of the north, maybe it's empathy with the frustration of making it to 4 superbowls in a row with no win or maybe I just like the colours. Nevertheless, the Bills are my choice and there's no changing my mind.
Anyway, I've managed to convince my wonderful wife that our next holiday (vacation to you) should be self-driving around New York State and of course this would include matchday at the Ralph!
Could anyone tell me when the 2012 schedule will be announced or where I should look to find out. I know it'll be on the Bills website as it happens but is it usually at a certain time of year?

Thanks,

Craig, Bedford, UK

Go Bills!

I think it usually comes out in the spring.

[REALDEALCLAUSEN]

feel sorry for ya bud, but always welcome new members to the mafia. youll love the atmosphere at the game (esp. pre game) try to get to an early season game - home opener is best.

Yeah, usually comes out a week or so before the draft. This year it was April 18th.

Thanks guys.

dude it's early, you still have the choice. I'm being serious, don't do it.

It's a terrible life.

lol its been a hard life.......haha but if I quit loving the bills....I would just quit liking football altogether.

Hi all, another noob here. I am also from the UK, although I am currently living in Spain (way too hot over here for my liking!) Been a Bills fan since my early teens when I "found" the sport and Andre Reed got me hooked. At the beginning I have to be honest the likes of Jerry Rice played a part in that as well.

bedfordbills - Do you see many jerseys where you are? Bills or other teams?

At least in the UK the sport is growing in popularity here in Spain they think rugby is the same thing

[Stevie#53]

Same question to SaviourJauron.

Any other UK based Bills on here?

I have been in Spain for almost a year and I have seen 1 Dolphins fan only

There's a few UK and Irish fans on here. I've been a Bills fan for 6 years and I've only been stopped in the streets once while wearing a Bills jersey.

If we could manage it, I've often thought about the UK contingent from BBMB and maybe the NFL UK site meeting at the Wembley game, as a show of Bills solidarity, if you will.

Even if it is not the bills playing it would be worth the trip to meet fellow bills. The 2012 schedule is out, though I haven't seen it yet, it will be interesting to see who will be playing at Wembley if anyone....

Well, it won't be the Bills this year with Toronto still ongoing. If it's a good game, it'll just make it an easier prospect to sell to the fans I'd like to get involved.

Mid-April is the usual release date. They also play in Indy and Cleveland if you want to check them out in a stadium that won't make you puke.

Wembley won't make us puke, state of the art.

I've been a bills fan my whole life if the game is bad...at least you'll have the chance to tailgate with the #1 tailgaters in the NFL make sure you show up at 9am and enjoy the environment....one game I make it to regardless of the time of the year is by far the best one is the HOME OPENER! see ya there 2012

So cool to see Bills fans from all over the globe.

The schedule comes out before the draft in April but our opponents are already set. The only thing we don't really know are the actual dates and who is playing Buffalo in Toronto in 2012.

Save yourself a whole lot of misery and heartache and pick another team before it's too late. I would if I could, but I'm in too deep at this point so there's no turning back. You still have a chance. Do it before you get too attached..

[Marshawn-2-the-housee]

welcome to the family! it'll be tough but hey who knows you may have just joined at the right time. anyways the schedule usually comes out in spring..im sure someone already answered for you! anyways heres to hoping you picked a winner!
