An NFL franchise in London a step closer?

I know it's only a minor factor, but one of the obstacles that very often gets brought up during London franchise discussions is that Wembley stadium would be unable to host a full 8 game + home schedule. It now seems the Football Association are suggesting they will move England games out of Wembley to allow for an NFL franchise to move in.


I see loads of pointless articles and speculation on a franchise here, but for the FA to openly talk of moving England games to other stadiums made this article interesting. I also read a very similar article on the BBC website today


One of my clients at work is decently high up in sales for wembley events, what he's said to me (and obviously this is completely rumour so don't flame on just passing on second hand information for the purpose of a topic) is that there won't be any 1 of us in wembley after 2018 because of two reasons

1) the players absolutely hate it

2) there will be a franchise here
