Astroblack Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Its a blow. But Shelvey's gotta be up for contention now. With him in the squad, you've got solid passer of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Imagine the FA building that thing then selling it as soon as it's starting to pay for itself Guess this would mean the London Jaguars are a step closer to being an NFL team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 So having read a few more tweets it seems the "relocation" of Jacksonville Jaguars could be the reason Why the fuck would you relocate a US team to London? They gonna fly across the Atlantic (and likewise other teams obviously) every few days? Then there's the fans? There will be no team in Jacksonville all of a sudden? Who goes to the "home" games? 80,000 Londoners who are all of a sudden fans of Jacksonville Jaguars? eh.. anyone got the answers here cause I'm lost. Doesnt make any sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt make any sense The one thing I know about the NFL, is that the owners don't give a single fuck about the fans, most teams change location every 10/20 years or so. The owners even get given the trophy. It'd be like us winning the FA Cup and instead of Lascelles going up for collect the it, Ashley goes up and get the cup.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yeah, I think the idea of a London NFL team is ridiculous, even though I've been to the games twice and I'm going again this season I imagine the travelling isn't much different from travelling around America. Crazy for the local fans obviously, but teams already get moved from city to city as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt make any sense American franchises move especially in the NFL, the LA rams were previously the St Loius Rams. Owned by the majority shareholder in arsenal funnily enough. It was enivetable someone would make a move to have an NFL team in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'd be shocked if they even seriously considered this, the FA would lose their status symbol. I also think a British NFL team would be an expensive failure, one off games is one thing, competing with the premier league on a weekly basis is another. Plus the team would probably be shit. It would be a good opportunity for Americans to start saying Jaguar properly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There's a canadian Rugby League team that play in the UK. Also some south african team(s) that are about to move to the Pro 14 rugby union compeition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 They play 3 games per year and it's worked so far. A London franchise would move it to 8 games per year. It's not like the football where they'd play 18 games over 3/4 of the year. Perfectly attainable iyam. They would likely just be based on the East coast of the US and just travel over for games. Also, I don't think the notion of selling Wembley is a bad one. Under the assumption that England get to continue to use it, what's the issue? They get a shit ton of money that they otherwise wouldn't have. They built it because they (believe they) needed a fancy national stadium. That still applies. The ownership is irrelevant.

Be 10 games since the NFL have put money into Spurs' new stadium and they have a contract for 10 years. I agree though, they'll easily sell out.
