What I cannot understand is why the non-indigenous pantomime that is American Football think they can make a go of it in London when RL cannot. 3 games at Wembley in 2014 just announced that will presumably play to a packed house and more talk of a possible London based franchise. Admittedly the NFL success rate in London to date is not exactly stellar - but they are giving it another shot..........
Is it just a love of all things American and sport as theatre, is it the might of the NFL marketing machine or is it just that RL is not getting its act together to appeal to London crowds? There seems to be a huge appetite in London for excellence in sport so I am assuming it is the latter?
Good luck in your fight for survival BTW. If it helps at all as a northerner based in London I see a strong and successful London presence at both community and professional level as key factor to the development of our sport in the Northern Hemisphere.
PS I also heard the Leyton Orient rumour elsewhere
