George Osbourne says government will give NFL full backing and support if they want to franchise a team to the UK.
The NFL is all about franchising though and it has been that way historically for absolutely decades.

Unfortunately the British a section public seem to love the NFL.
They are talking about seeing how many would commit to a season ticket.
Don't know where the venue will be in the UK though?
I assume London
I think they're talking about Wembley. I'm sure I read somewhere a few weeks ago that if it goes ahead the England team might have to use other stadium's around the country if there is a clash of fixtures. NFL will get preference.
I take it there is no fear that if they get 30k prepared to commit to a season ticket that they wouldn't fancy the Ricoh?
Certainly reduces the potential of away fans making a decision to go on the day. I imagine one of the songs, come in a Jetstream you must have come in a Jetstream.
I prefer england going round the country,
However not for this reason.

Oh please tell me this is a fucking joke...
Yes, I can just see American Hand-Egg taking off like a whippet with an arse full of dynamite on British soil; let them do it, and it'll be hilarious to see emptier stadiums on matchday than the pissing Ricoh.

Saying that, if some Yankee billionaire who owns the Minnesota/Oakland/Indiana/Memphis Tyrannosaurs NFL team wants to save us from SISU...oh say can you seeeeeeee, by the dawn's early liiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
Jacksonville Jaguars...
NFL will never take off in this country lets face it all you have to do is look at Wembley today.
I'm looking at it now. And it's full.
You're being silly now obviously thats an England game.
It's not. It's an American Football one.
Wembley will easily be filled for NFL games. I'm sure the Beeb estimated it as about 3 million avid fans in the UK. The season is only 16 games long. Of course they can fill Wembley for 16 games a season.
Absolutely no doubt about that.

Otis me old son I was joking
I agree - it will not take off to make it sustainable for a season. One game will attract sufficient interest for those who like this globally obscure "sport" but never for a whole year.

When they show the flyover there seems to be a huge EE logo on the Wembley roof, not sure if that's just for this or is always there?
It was one originally, now there are three sellout games and demand is growing. A whole year is only eight games.
Yes, of course. Sorry my mistake. It will only be 8 home games. 16 games in total.
To suggest they can't fill Wembley 8 times a year is rather naive me thinks.
There's one going on right now in a very non-empty Wembley Stadium, as part of an International Series that's expanded over the years due to popularity.
But yeah, nu-metal and lol and stuff

I was referring to a nationalisation of the franchise being unpopular, it's an opinion of mine, since we're all opinionated on here I'm entitled to it, correct? I couldn't give a squirrel's nutty shit about any 'International Series' of NFL, but by all means, go watch your Hand-Egg at the Ricoh if/when the time comes.
