If Wembley is sold to the Fulham owner and his intention is to move Fulham to Wembley could they get anywhere near a crowd to justify the move?. I,m not
sure of the catchment area.
They don't fill craven cottage. Maybe the first row if Wembley.
It's certainly not for them, more for a link up with the nfl, London franchise incoming.
Wembley will not be sold to Fulham. It might be sold to the guy whop owns Fulham. Who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars. Probably so he can move them to London.
Yeh I wasn't sure what crowds they were able to get at the mo.
Its the American way, Fans do not really matter to the Franchise setups
I remember when i used to watch the LA rams on C4 as a teenager
they became the St. Louis Rams which to me was completely wrong and were not my team ( not sure why i picked the LA Rams at the time )
Recently they moved back to LA and became the LA Rams again
a strange way to go about it
LA is a big TV market. They moved to St Louis because fans weren't turning up.
LA has always been piss poor for sporting franchises, LA Lakers aside.
It's a simple equation; don't sell out games then in a league with a limited number of spots, other cities will want the franchise.
Periodically they do expand. Right now each division has 4 teams, can't see it expanding beyond 32 any time soon.
Again, the LA market is big with regards to TV market. Rams, Chargers home attendances have been woeful.
EDIT: League has a rule that if game not sold out, it cannot be shown on TV locally. That's led to many a franchise buying their own tickets to prevent a blackout...
Badly Ironed Skirt will be along shortly to remind everyone about the Cardiff State Redbirds
Course they will fill it, they're never going to lose again by the looks.
