    If it was a novelty value it would have worn of by now .
    You try getting tickets for it next time they bring games here !
    Not sure what this has to do with the loss of revenue streams ?

    This was my point about the tourist thing, i can see natives going to a game if they are in London on a weekend break or something but not travelling just for the game, would still fill the ground two or three times a year though probably.
    I could be well out here and maybe there are enough people interested to make a franchise work for a full season, i really don't know.

    I'm not sure of the franchise thing and dont think it's fair on the USA based teams .
    I think it's fine as it is and as long as the attendances are 80,000 plus it should stay as it is .
    PS Spurs stadium is ****ing Mega Awesome .

    Someone said Spurs had lost £4m, i pointed out they had failed to gain £4m.
    My posts after that were thoughts on whether it would/could be profitable going forward as a viable franchise or just the odd couple of games per year.
    I was/am asking opinions as i have no idea of NFL popularity in the UK.

    I watched it's build on their "new stadium" thread, it was a very good thread to follow at the time and very informative.
    Fantastic stadium i agree <ok>

    I predicted Spurs would go under as a football club within 10 years, once they had completed their new stadium. It appears the coronavirus, might help pull that plug a bit sooner <laugh>

    The NFL games at Wembley sell out in minutes. A slightly smaller capacity at Spurs will do the same.
    4, 8 or 12 games a season wouldn’t be a problem. U.K. fans of this don’t care who they watch, so teams will just play maybe once a season and have multiple teams, reaching out to new fans and franchise followers.

    The integrity of the game is paramount.

    Surely that's not even going to make that much difference? It's actually an admission that it's not safe.

    Do shorter games decrease the spread of the virus?

    Does the Virus only kick in after 70 minutes of Football?

    Interesting stuff
