In this episode, Mike and Dan are joined by James and Jason from the Dome Patrol Podcast for an insightful and entertaining discussion covering all things NFL — with a particular focus on the Saints and the experience of international fans.

The conversation begins with the ongoing ticketing debacle surrounding the NFL London games, as the group shares their frustrations over soaring prices and the challenges faced by fans trying to attend. They highlight the need for more inclusive and transparent access to tickets to ensure a better matchday experience.

Attention then turns to the Saints, as the panel delves into the current state of the team. They reflect on Derek Carr’s departure and the fresh sense of optimism brought by new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Topics include coaching changes, potential surprise cuts, rookie standouts, draft strategies, quarterback competition, and pressing concerns on the defensive side of the ball.

There’s cautious optimism as the group discusses the importance of depth, the lessons to be learned from teams like the Detroit Lions, and what it will take for the Saints to turn a corner in the coming season.

But it’s not just about the NFL — the episode also celebrates the camaraderie among fans. The conversation touches on food, friendship, and shared experiences, all culminating in an exciting surprise trip to New Orleans. We discuss the unique perspective of being Saints supporters from abroad, cultural differences in how sport is experienced, and the growing need for better engagement from the Saints organisation with its international fanbase.
