I wonder what the good people of Jacksonville will make of this,it could be a start of either a franchise moving here or perhaps NFL watching to see if a fan base could be established that could sustain a full NFL franchise in London,exciting times ahead thats for sure,wouldnt it be superb to have our own team to support or will we always remain Jets/Redskins/Pats or 49ers etc,so any British franchise maybe doomed from the start.

hmmmm... just noticed this and only just read about rams pull out
dont mind the game a season approach to gain new fans over here but a full regular team will never take off here imo as mentioned people will stay loyal to their team and not all of us will travel down to london weekly basis for the game (costings) |

i find it irritating that Wembley seems to be the destination for all the games
plenty of other options throughout the UK |

If this happens, it finishes the franchise in Jacksonville. Khan probably not that worried - going to move them anyway I'd say.

"The NFL is going to be developing an international fan base. Why shouldn't it be the Jaguars?" Khan said in December. "In all honesty, internationally, they don't know the difference between the Jaguars and the Steelers."
I can't believe this Khan guy said that ^. insult your prospective audience, clever move  |
