Would you switch to a London based team?
Jacksonville Jaguars - coming soon to a stadium near you. |  | | |  |

How do people become a supporter of a team they never get to see? I don't get it. You *become* a supporter through blood, sweat and tears of watching a team in the flesh through the ups and downs, by being part of the experience. If you chose to follow a team without that emotional attachment, you're just a customer.
Sorry, that might have come across harsher than intended! But 'Supporting' a foreign team and then chosing to switch to another one and becoming a supporter of another instead are concepts I struggle with. |  |

Think you'd have to have some affinity with them if they moved the franchise over to London but think it would take sometime to build and most would still follow their original team if from all be it a distance. | | | |

I'm not into NFL but my son is keen and has adopted the Broncos as his team. I love him dearly but have told him that if he ever starts calling Jacksonville the 'Jagwaaahs' he will be instantly disinherited. |  |

I don’t think so, I’d say I’m pretty loyal to the Vikings having seen them on both sides of the Atlantic
But I love live NFL, and would likely get a ST there so if I were to watch them a lot am sure I’d develop a soft spot |  |

I pretty much agree but I know that quite a few on here follow particular franchises and would certainly consider themselves supporters.
I have no interest in NFL at all but am fascinated by the idea of an english team and how much support it would get. The whole franchise model is just so alien to how we do sport over here (with one ugly, soon to be relegated, exception). | | | |

Won’t they be London jaguars then? |  | | |

This is the worst kept secret in world sports.
It's been on the card for years. Now they have finally had a decent season Khan has deemed it time to move in.
I've been telling all on here who are new to NFL to support the Jaguars as they were likely to become a London franchise, and, at the very least, were guaranteed for London games in the short term.
I'll consider switching, or taking Jags as my second team, depending on season ticket price and likely timings of matches. | | | |

No
Not sure why you’re acting it’s such a revelation - they’ve been building up to come over here for years |  |

Surely they will be London something else not London Jaguars, unless of course Jaguar sponsor them. |  |

I like the NFL, but don't have a huge appetite for sitting in a freezing cold Wembley on a December evening for 4 hours, especially as I'm sure the ticket prices will be high (plus £6 for a beer). If it was on in the summer, different matter (but that clearly isn't going to happen). Call me an old wuss if you like! |  |

Nope, My roots are in Kansas, so I will remain supporting the Missouri based Kansas City Chiefs [Post edited 28 Apr 2018 9:55]

Ticket prices were pretty fair for the International Series games, especially if you bought a "season ticket" to all three. | | | |

Fair enough. And if there are regular games, they will lose their novelty value & the prices will have to fall. How successful the team is will also play a part. | |

I love NFL but don't support a team. Partly because I was waiting for a UK franchise and partly because it felt forced and not at all like I felt about Town.
We'll see. I quite like just being a neutral. |  |

To be honest NFL is a very easy league to be neutral in, as long as you don't opt to support two rivals, such as the Chiefs and Broncos, etc | |

No chance, sure they'd be an adapted '2nd team' but I wouldn't be able to just ditch my Steelers like that! |  |

Yes. As they would then be like a “ local team “... only not. |  | | |

Nope - New Orleans has been my team since 1991 and that's not gonna change. | | | |

I'm an occasional watcher with a Marino inspired fondness for the Dolphins. I could be tempted to go to games now I'm living in London but Wembley is just such a pain to get to. Shame really. |  |
