I was reading some Swiss Ramble tweets the other day trying to work out if Spurs are skint (it’s obligatory to bring spurs into these conversations right?) and even with government bailouts they need to spend £30-40m on loan interest each season/year.
That sounds horrendous compared to our generous owners however their match day revenue has doubled. ...Next there was loads of noise about the diminishing importance of match day income... In addition the NFL/concerts will bring in additional/significant revenue.
Which got me thinking, if we were to extend the ground is there a way we could undercut London and be an alternative location for NFL games. I’m sure it’d sell out and I doubt the average American would care/know the game was in Birmingham, not London. It could be really lucrative but not easy to accommodate whilst having a compact ground.
