RutgersJetFan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Pops and I are still considering it, but we've both recently spent a sh*t-ton of money on personal stuff (all good things). Definitely keep me in the loop if any promotional discounts happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Im actually thinking about it. Im 1 and a half hours away from London flying and the wife wanted to visit some friends there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I realize you guys are Jets fans, but why encourage the NFL on this issue? A team in London will be a disaster in 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am as well -- but need to see what my buds want to do - but if they back out (not a suprising thing) I may be interested in a Jetnation gig. But I would arrange my own transport to London. Keep me in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet9 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Given that I now live in Europe that seems like a good idea to me. 3 months ago not so much. Fair enough. Let me ask you though, what's the legitimate interest in the NFL among your native friends over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Fair enough. Let me ask you though, what's the legitimate interest in the NFL among your native friends over there? Not much from what I see. Then again, I just moved to Germany 3 months ago, I dont know many people and I dont live in a city so I can't really be too accurate with that. What I can say is that Soccer seems to dominate everything "sports". Its huge out here. The bright side is that I rock all my Jet gear in Germany and the NFL is doing everything to provide the game to Europeans. They have NFL Game Pass out here which is like NFL Game Rewind back in the states (Though I found out when I moved here that my NFL Game Rewind only works in the states so I couldn't access the games. I was PISSED). I have no idea how big football is in the UK, but at least from what I've seen the stadium is packed with fans when the game. I dont know how many people watch the game on TV there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 This is kinda what I figured. Similar to the World Cup here. Every 4 years it's "Isn't soccer great? It's going to overtake the NHL and NBA." No, it's not. I'm sure once a year they get all wound up an NFL game locally. But you put a franchise there? Not to mention, how many free agents are going to go there? They have higher taxes than a rich guy in NYC (seriously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, how many free agents are going to go there? They have higher taxes than a rich guy in NYC (seriously). But look at the US, Soccer is becoming pretty legit in the states now. There are soccer leagues, you go to Modell's and you can easily find soccer gear. The NFL is pushing to make the sport appealing outside of the states, they're simply not as far with it as Soccer. I must say that I feel that the NFL has a chance to succeed at this, and its not solely because of the NFL as an organization, but with the Internet...more importantly Fantasy Football.

I dont know how many people watch the game on TV there though. My friend, google Hola and download it. Then you can switch to an US IP and use your old account, US Netflix (european Netflix is way more expensive and have not near the same material) etc. Have you ever heard of HBO Nordic? Nightmare.. I have Game Pass and it is for us europeans a goldmine compared to what it was 10+ years ago. Why football could get big over here now easier is as I see it mainly because of: Internet Soccer in the UK is silly expensive and normal people can´t go on many games Why football won´t succeed this time either: People in general find it stupid. Also expensive and they will have no chance to get Wembley as the home of a new team (which I read somewhere was a request). But who knows? Time is slowly changing the sports world as well. When I grew up it was only hockey and soccer for me. The last 10 years I went more and more over, and now 100% football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenPond Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Tried to get some tickets hours after they went for sale on Ticketmaster UK.Checked in 3 hours later and they were all sold out. Interestingly, only the Jets/Dolphins game. All the other matchups were still up for sale. Is there a big Jets fanbase in Europe I don't know of? Since they've have been pretty expensive after they sold out on Ticketmaster I don't know if I will buy some tickets. Will spend a few weeks in Florida in september and would be right back for the game, but if I don't get some tickets for a decent price I will pass. At least that f*****n useless NFL Shop Europe Homepage will get some Jets stuff outside the Holmes and Sanchez Jersey, that dwarf with a Jets Jersey and a cup.
