I thought NFL Europe was no more? but maybe im wrong
Prolly fail because Brits are into less sissy games, maybe they should try the Canadian version of North American Football!
I can see it selling out Wembly for a once a year event. Lots of hype and marketing to go along with it.
I don't see it going on a regular basis.
Brits will go once to see what all the fuss is about, but they have their own sports to keep them occupied.
There is one concept that I would like to see transferred to UK football. Colour at home, white on the road. No 6 different strips for your kids to pester you to buy.
Pauldohert;639635 They'll sell tickets for a bomb and do plenty of merchandising - so short term its a winner I guess. Long term I can't see anyone except expats said:Actually they played pre-season games (exhibition) in London for 3 years back in the 90's. They got good crowds the first 2 years, the third was only about half filled so they stopped.
When you look at it, its a pretty expensive undertaking to fly 80-100 players plus trainers, coaches etc. to the UK, put them up at a hotel for a few days, feed them and hire a practice facility for just one game.
They probably turned a profit on this game, but an annual event would probably fizzle out after a year or two.
An NFL franchise based in London is not a reasonable probability for these reasons.
?Haha alright then. i was just wondering why they thought that this would be different than the NFL Europe.. honestly i cant see the reason for doing it. they are talking about doing it up in toronto too... doesnt make sense
