Quote: Red666 "Good marketing i agree, but it's probably just as much to do with the inability due to prohibitive cost of say, NFL fans, being able to follow their team away from home during the season. Fans are likely to go watch the next best alternative (bit like Leigh fans going to watch Salford at home whilst Leigh are away etc)'"
No it's more likely that people ( mostly women ) have realised that American Football is a load of bollox , and are taking their kids to watch something resembling a real sport , one where you don't have to be a freak of nature to actually play it
Plus it is still from their own town/city , unlike your Leigh , Salford analogy , perhaps if Leigh still had a semi pro football club playing at the stadium that was actually built for it , people would have been going to watch them
You lot will be okay anyway , you'll be able to watch Sale next winter
