I did that. I watched the Pats v Packers Super Bowl from London on a 13" black and white TV, while living in an apartment where the electricity ran on a coin-operated meter. Plus, I couldn't make any noise because my roommate was asleep. So naturally, we ended up in a fight after Howard's kickoff return.Imagine watching your favorite team in the Bowl and kickoff is 12:30am on a Monday.
There's one name and one name only. The London Sillynanny'sLondon Beefeaters
London Werewolves
London Pythons
Would they lose much by moving it up a few hours? I guess viewership of the pre-game show on the West Coast (where the game would start around or shortly after noon) might be lower. But if it were a UK team playing (or maybe even if not) I think the tradeoff would be worth it.Imagine watching your favorite team in the Bowl and kickoff is 12:30am on a Monday.
Are you serious? Fans are not going to allow it. That would eliminate a Monday Holiday.There's a reason it's at 6:30. Because the NFL has deemed that the best way to get the most eyes, and therefore the most money.
Then again, I'm of the belief that if there's a 2 week break, they should play it on Saturday night.
Of course, but my point is that the calculation changes if a lot of potential eyes are on UK time.There's a reason it's at 6:30. Because the NFL has deemed that the best way to get the most eyes, and therefore the most money.

Yeah, well, I took the bus from London to Oxford to watch my team (the Falcons) play in their only Super Bowl because a friend said we'd be able to watch the game somewhere at the university...and then that place wasn't accessible for some reason, and by the time we actually found a TV with satellite reception, it was after one in the morning, the game was in the second half and the Broncos were way ahead.

That. Is. Awesome. Reminds me of the mild disappointment I experienced when Tennessee opted for Titans over the Tennessee Authority. Yours is even better.I still don't believe it's going to happen... but as far as names, I'd vote for the British Invasion.
How do you sell season tickets this way?The most likely outcome would be some mix and match. Wembley as the main "home" ground, but with a few games a season at either the Olympic Stadium, the new White Hart Lane, or indeed Twickenham.
I was going to post the opposite, that it would totally be like the NFL to try to play off the "FC" and piss off the fan base before they play a game.If this franchise is going to be truly British wouldn't it's name be something like London American Football Club?
If not, I'm hoping for the East India Company.
The London Spitfires.
