Born and raised on bean suppah, brown bread, boiled dinner, and Patriots football in Rockland, Maine. Reside now in Bowdoinham, Maine.

Father and Grandfather were dutiful radio listeners to the games in early days. My brothers and I have attended dozens of games since the early 80's. Never been a season ticket holder.

You're all invited to come downeast anytime for some venison stew and Sammies on game day. Ayuh.

As a kid, spent many summers on Little Ossippee lake. I went to many a bean suppah - can you still get brown bread?

From a place called Burnley in England.

Not a season ticket holder, Christ, I've never even been to the States. Would love to at some point though.

NFL fan for 12 years or so, unaffiliated to any team, before following the Pats for the last 5 years or so. Glory hunter? Maybe, but I can't say I ever tagged on to the Cowboys or the 49ers whilst they were at the top. I can relate to the Patriots though, and I think that's the biggest reason for me following them.

I am from a place called Selby, near York in England and I never post on this forum although it is my home page and I read most of the (non-troll) threads.
I have been a fan since the second week of the 84-85 season when we were beaten by the Bears before my loyalty was reinforced by the stuffing we got in SBXX.

Keep up the good work, with special thanks to Ian

Originally from Central Mass, living in Western Mass

Fan since I was old enough to watch games (late 70s early 80s)

No tixs.

Had them since 1960 at braves field now my son has them.
Glad we both have same first name so we dont lose them when i die.
I enjoyed them then as much as i do now.

From: Portland, ME
Not a season ticket holder, but have attended a minimum of 1 game a year for 20+ years.
Fan since I was a kid (early 80's).

Lived in Natick, Norwood, and Wellesley, MA as a kid...grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. I've been a die-hard since 4th grade in 1985 and never looked back.
Now living in NYC and will take Patriot Pride with me to the next place I visit.
Been to watch the Pats @ Cincy in 2001 and @NYJ this year.
Go Pats!

Location: Cape Cod
Been a fan since coming to Mass. from Okla. in 1969
Not a season ticket holder but Bro-in-law is and occassionally attend with him.

Grea up in NH/Mass.
Pats fan since 82.
Currently living north of Dallas,TX and, therefore, not a season ticket holder.

Born in Lawrence, lived in Methuen.
Moved to Michigan, then again to Illinois.
Now i'm stuck in the NW Suburbs of Chicago, surrounded by moronic Bears fans.

Been a fan since i was old enough to go to games w/ my dad.
I'm pretty sure '88 was the first year i went to a game but not positive.

Sometimes go to games vs. Chicago or at RCA Dome.

I was lucky enough to be going to college at Illinois State when the Pats played in Champaign in 02' & caught that amazing comeback.

I'm from the Netherlands and a fan since halfway the 2004 season.
I decided to play Madden NFL and because Peter Griffin was a Patriots fan I chose the Patriots. Since then I started reading about the Patriots and I liked what I read.

Born in Manchester, England. Raised there until I was 12. Then grew up in Bolton (both places are in Lancashire, North West England, five or six hours NW of London). Now living in South East London.
Pats fan for 20 years, when I was 14, thanks to a Pats supporting friend. My first memory was highlights v the then LA Rams when Irving Fryar caught a Hail Mary from the somewhat unfairly maligned Tony Eason. (1986 season)
Miss Gcat and I want to do a trip to the States at some point and would love to do a Pats game, but wouldn't we all?

I'm from England and got into the NFL when it started being shown on TV there in the mid 80s. I picked the Patriots as a fifteen year old in 1985 for the same reason as many British-based Pats fans: the word 'England' in the name, red white and blue kit (uniform), liked the helmet logo (still hate the 'flying Elvis') etc.

In 2005 I moved to Canada and was at last able to watch every New England game on TV. I also was able to see a game live, a life-long dream, with a trip to Buffalo for last season's blowout win there in the freezing cold.

Now live in Connecticut, so I expect to get to the Gillette sometime soon, and next season's Jets game at the Meadowlands is a definite.

Well I hope that's not too soon.

From: Brighton, MA via West Roxbury, MA via Vieques, PR via West Roxbury, MA. Born Quantico, VA.
Pats fan since: I was a kid...the 70s. I remember when Ben Dreith became the embodiment of Satan.
Not a season ticket holder, but I've gotten one game a year from friends who have seats in Sec. 110 since 2003.

My fondest memory (other than seeing Banner #2 go up before the Pats beat the Colts two years ago) was seeing the Pats beat the Bengals to make the playoffs in '85.

Man, was it cold. We were three rows from the top of the old bowl, and we'd sneaked in a flask of SoCo. We had quilts and stuff to keep warm, and at some point, the flask got dropped, but we had no idea what had happened to it until we got up to leave. The flask had fallen, broken, and the contents had turned viscous so that it looked like a snapshot of a flask breaking.

Good times.

Born on the Cape, now living in Phoenix area
Fan since early 70's...pooled all my Christmas money to buy a Pats uniform and helmet from Sears when I was a little kid.

Went to Super Bowl XXXVIII.
