LondonBrown Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've never been keen on an NFL team in London - never will, or anywhere in the UK. The NFL should pump some money into the game so that it can be played here, at school / college level, not just reap the cash on the back of what is an American passion. That said, it's pretty likely the browns will play in the UK in the next few years and, as I understand the terms between FES and Cleveland City, they won't be home games as all home games have to be played in CLE. So It won't deprive Browns of a home game which I think would be tragic. I'd also love to spend a weekend in London with my Browns Board pals. Wait til they get the victoria line to Seven Sisters and t do the Walk. N17 isn't really on the tourist map. Ha what a lovely walk that is, if you like boarded up shops and the smell of weed that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, we would need tour guide to find those things beyond Buckingham Palace and Picadilly Circus. I've got cousins there that would help, but your keen eye would be invaluable. But, before you ask Howie, no, I don't need to play the Crying Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the Browns came to London, you wouldn't go because Islington is too far? I don't believe that for a minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 No worries. If you get an NFL team, it will have to come in with it own unique identity. So here you go.....Trivia time. Of the following names, which ones have never been the name of an NFL team. Just highlight those you think: Pros Gunners Senators Generals Colonels Majors Knights Kings Dukes Earls Eskimos Lions Tigers Bears Tin Men Scarecrows Crimson Jihad Crimson Giants Brickley Giants Reds Greens Blues Browns Maroons Yellow Jackets Red Jackets Dons Johns Pauls Georges Ringos Staleys Stapletons Rangers Flyers Those in Bold were never the names of an NFL team. The others were. But, there were New Jersey Generals in the USFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Post Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 This is the one I find most alarming.

DeputyDawg Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yep, Come On You Irons! For my sins I'm a season ticket holder at West Ham and have been for many years. It's an East London/Essex team with good support in Kent too. Also the subject of a number of hooligan films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
