“It's very different over here,” said Paul Hirons, a member of the Bengals UK fan group. “There are no sports bars per se (except for the big cities) and most Bengals fans watch the games on their laptops via NFL Gamepass.”
What started as a couple of Bengals fans meeting for a beer has now grown to a UK-based fan group with 300 members and 1,600 followers on Twitter (@WhoDey_UK). The group gets together four or five times a year to watch games. This year, they’ve gotten together in London, Manchester, Scotland and in the northeast part of the country.
