Most of you know I run the New York City Buffalo Bills Backers with Zoner in exile BillsNYC...

We hit 750 members last night. We've built a small army! And membership is still growing by leaps and bounds.

Sunday we had probably 400 in the bar. No way to count for sure... Packed tight. The bar owners own a bar next door, and we have the green light to take over that place too.

NYCBBB has 2 bars on complete lockdown on Sundays! It’s a sight to be seen. Loads of Bills fans in Bills gear lined up outside a NYC establishment at 11am to get a seat!

There are "civilians" who don't know it's a Bills bar, only to walk in and stare with amazement at the crowd, then a beeline for the door.

Here's where I humble up a bit. I've thought long and hard about our accomplishment. And there is no ***** way we could have done something like this for any other team. The passion that Bills fans have is unequaled, in my own humble and biased opinion!

Next post in this regard will be when we hit 1,000. Which I optimistically expect by season's end.

If anyone is ever in the big apple, let me know!

Man, that is cool as hell. I know NYC is huge, but 750 Bills fans in a town with two NFL teams (kind of) is great.

Great work man. I would give you positive rep, but I already gave you some to make up for the negs you were getting this morning. Maybe someday I should take my family to the big city. I've never been and always kind of wanted to go. Gotta save my pennies though.

I tell everyone I post on all the sites, which I do. We don't promote any site over others Other than BillsDaily, because Steve is a member and comes to McFadden's.

In an effort to help you reach your goal, and since I recently relocated to NYC, I will join. It will be great to actually see the Bills games.

Nice!

Stop by our booth so I can meet ya. It's the last booth in front of the bar. Ask for Matt S. and say you're from the zone.

See you Sunday!

The Northern Alberta Bills Backers has doubled in size this season, to the amazing number of TWO!!!

I am not alone anymore, I met a guy at Mo's who is a Bills fan and decided he didn't want to miss any games this year so he decided to start going to the bar. He had a cool Spikes jersey too.

There was supposed to be 2 or 3 other guys I know who were going to start amalgamating at my sports bar, but they didn't show up on Sunday.

Yeah, we are kind of lucky because of our location. Tons of WNYers move here...

Gotta say...its a great experience. I was at McFadden's last year for the Jags game...which at that point..we were all pretty excited about the year. It was an awesome time...had to wait until 2 AM the next morning to sober up to drive back to DC

never made it to the DC Backers before I moved...but I went to the Backers in SF this past Sunday. doesn't compare..but nonetheless a pretty good group of about 40-50 people made it out for the 10 AM start
