I am not talking about people attending a poor relation to the sport, I am talking about the popularity of the NFL, not a UK version.
I'll make a note not to help you on other threads in future, you pathetic little man. |

What can I do if you keep posting drivel?
American Football is a minority sport in this country. Some people have a passing interest in it and go the Wembley game, but nothing more. |

you research the viewing figures, compare them to RL and come back with your findings.
more people fly to the USA to watch the NFL than watch the grand final.
try looking at the facts |

So because more people watch it on the box and fly to America to watch a game or 2, you conclude the sport as a whole is better supported?
Come off it. |

errrm, yes, how do you measure support, people attending and watching games I assume?
I never realised you were so hard of thinking, actually, given your avatar, I knew. |

Well I'd wager more people in the country have attended a Rugby League game this season than they did in the NFL last season.
What are you saying about my avatar? Care to explain that comment? |

attendance is not the sole measure of support, and if you don't understand my comment about you avatar, then my case is made and proven.
shame we can't add mods to our foes list, no matter how idiotic they are. |

Okay, you keep thinking that the NFL is better supported than Rugby League in England, that's fine by me  
No, I don't understand the comment about my avatar, please explain. |

For a single huge game from the regular NFL season yes you can sell 80k seats with no problem at all. In the same way that you could take Man United v Chelsea to America and sell-out any stadium....
Have an American football league in this country and you would not see crowds like we get in RL.
In the same way you don't see the MLS being as big as the premierleague.

Your paranoia knows no bounds.
I'm struggling to think of how a picture of Stevie Hyper D links in with my post, could anyone else explain, or am I really missing something obvious here? Anyone got any ideas what Standee is going on about this time? |

no paranoia, it takes an imbecile like you to stretch a difference of opinion to threats via PM, but small men do that I guess, |

Not sure how this descended into a gridiron discussion etc. You guys should be aiming for 60,000 plus.

I would have thought that the Bulls performances so far this season would have shown that McNamara actually didn't do too badly!!
England at Wembley would be fantastic and with a double header IMO draw 60,000+ |

This has probably been answered but I couldn't find it on the RFL website:
Have the fixtures been confirmed? Is it a double header?
The way to do it would be England vs Wales and Australia vs NZ.
A convincing England win to please the majority of the crowd and a competitive fixture between the two best teams in international league, and I bet both sets of players would be really up for playing at Wembley.

Nothing confirmed as far as I am aware. No England supporters would care about thrashing Wales. Then they would just enjoy watching the other match on the TV. |
