After the hangover I had from the last Super Bowl party I attended last year, breakfast super bowl doesn't  sound soo bad. As for the logistic feats you are talking, you can't let these facts get in the way of a good smear narrative. Of course is seems next to impossible to have term like Seattle or the three teams in cali travel 8 thousand miles to play a game in a durasticly different time zone. Or the simple fact that any division this London franchise would be apart of would have 5x the travel of any other NFL divisional team just over the course of the divisional season. I personally think that a permanent team in London would end up struggling after 1 season. I think fans will crowd a stadium for 3-4 games a year  especially when you get a variety of match ups from different teams. but doing it for a 8 game stretch every year? Not mention the realistic probably that they could get a terrible team that goes on a decade long sub.500 stretch. Do you really think they are going to pack wembly to see their home team get slaughtered by double digits from every opponent they face? Sure it looks good on paper a supplemental form of income, 1 game a year for a small market team. But I think there are a few variable being left out when people talk about a permanent move.

I think the only thing that hasn't helped our team is our own marketing department. Yes, they built a lot here and have made it known they have  plans for expansion around the stadium. But I can't help but think they dropped the ball on reassuring the local everyday fan that there is no possible way we move. I mean they did have a 10 min segment of our "state of the franchise" devoted solely to London crap. Then our owner buys one of the biggest grounds in London and does little(actually nothing) to shoot down rumors that are bound to swirl after the purchase.  I don't think it is intended, but they do leave the conspiracy theorists a bit of ammunition.
Lmbo. My thoughts exactly.

Well exactly..

Also, Shad hasn't actually bought Wembley.. He's shown interest in buying Wembley. I believe that the FA aren't keen on the sale, and rightly so.. it's the national stadium.

The thing is, the facts stated in my post alone would be enough stumbling blocks to stop a permanent move or expansion team.. when you add in the distances needed to be travelled, that creates more issues. But you're absolutely right, why let facts get in the way of a good story.

That is actually funny to me. If you read most sites that talk about the subject, You can't help but get the impression he already bought the place. I was even reading one where they were saying he has met with the owner of Chelsea to hash out a rental deal for them during their stadium rebuild lol. 

Speculation being regurgitated as fact is way too common LMBO.
