London 2015?

[kev007]

Hey fellow 12's

London will be hosting three NFL games next season - Jags vs 'Boys, Falcons vs Lions and Raiders vs Dolphins.

Seems likely there'll be at least three games in 2015 - how about a Seahawks game?! Would be awesome to see Beastmode, LOB, Dangeruss et al running out at Wembley, especially if it was against the whiners Would be even more awesome if lots of 12's came over to take in the game and meet up with us UK fans.

Who's In?!

I do not want the Hawks to play in England.

If we have to play in London I want to play the worse team in the league, the Jags will not be that in 2015.

They would probably take one of our home games away if that were the case. The NFL doesn't exactly have a great history of treating Seattle well when it comes to "50-50"/neutral things like this.

As I understand it, the Jags will play one game at Wembley for the next three season but there will be two other games that will not feature them - so could be Seahawks vs one of the other 30 teams (assuming not Seahawks vs Jags!)

While soccer may be 150 years old in Europe....I pray that American football will take another 100 years to be established there. I can safely say that I won't be around these parts by that time! :roll:

 

[UK_Seahawk]

So far I've resisted the temptation to go to Wembley, there just hasnt been a game that I really wanted to see. I'd love to see the Seahawks "in the flesh" but I think it would be better in the US. I'd go to Wembley if they played here but it would be like drinking Diet Cola over regular.

To have a team play in London, they have to be willing to give up a home game. You can be certain the Seahawks won't want to give up any home games. If they do play it will have to be an away game, and the likelihood of that happening with the niners is nil since they are getting the new stadium soon and there's no way they are going to give up a home game at that point.

It could just be our finely-honed sense of persecution talking, but it's pretty hard to imagine Seattle going to London and not giving up a home game to do so.

 

[summesm]

NOT ME im sure NFL would make us the home team and take one of our home games away.

Is this known? Do teams have a choice? That'd be nice, if so.

As of now all the teams have volunteered. It could come to a point one day where they don't have volunteers, but so far it hasn't.

As long as you have teams that have troubles selling out home games, you'll have teams who will volunteer to have the London game because it's a money maker. Teams that consistently sell out are not going to want to go

 

[jammerhawk]

Kev, I know you are a fanatic but think of this that trip would seriously screw up our team as they'd travel an extra 8000 miles or so that season to play in London.

I hope they are perpetually exempt from making that trip as they already travel significantly more than any other team in the league every season.

It could be that the NFL headquarters will "Mandate" that somebody in the NFC West play there!

OK, based on this information, I'm willing to play the Turdinals or Rams in London. :lol:

They may send someone there, but that doesn't mean it'll be a home game for them. It's an away game for one of them.

Thanks man, been a fan since 84 - not easy following the Hawks as we were rarely on TV over here; remember waking up at 02:00 to listen to games broadcast on Armed Forces Radio which I could pick up here!

Much better now as we seem 5-6 live games a week plus highlight shows.

Agree it is highly unlikely the Hawks will play a game at Wembley so really going to look into travelling to Seattle next season to try and take in a game. Would even consider taking the Mrs even though she is a Cardinals fan... Would be awesome to meet up with 12's at C-Link

A UK .netters trip to Seattle would be awesome.

Your eligible for legit access to GamePass, which I'm sure you already new. But that gives you every game live.

 

[rastahawk]

If they do come to London I am definitely there. I have been wanting to go Europe for the longest time. That will probably be the trigger for me.

 

[RolandDeschain]

I think way too many of our fans are scared of dropping an egg because of the travel time.

MAN THE FRIG UP!!! I'd be fine with a London game. Remember, the other team has to travel there, as well.
