mscjambo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Wembley did spurs a favour game was meant to be yesterday, city wouldn't reverse the fixture. Spurs being behind in their own build caused this. Seems to be playing ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not watching the game so I've not seen the pitch. But eagles v jaguars was on in London this weekend so I assume it was at Wembley? Could be wrong I've not checked.

Standard in the nfl to have that in the centre of the pitch, just as it is to have a massive rbs sign in the same place at a 6 nations game etc which would obviously mean fair game to have it yesterday Would assume however that with this case its a matter of the paint on the grass rather than something thats been specifically cut in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye man, its painted on. Not uncommon to see players have blue paint on their kits after the game if they've been tackled on it.

I didn't say the NFL badge was "cut" - I was trying to make the point that the FA had come down on Leicester simply for the way the grass was cut and yet here is a pitch - at Wembley - that is totally out of kilter for a football game.

Nah but the same pitch did host an nfl game 24 hours before. I might have come off wrong, I know you didn't think the badge was cut in, the point I was trying to make was more to do with them not being able to get the paint out in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deodato Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yep, I was at the Eagles game on Sunday and it rained all morning, so it cut up badly. Game finished around 5pm so a nudge over 24 hours to have it ready for "soccer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're reaching out to a global fanbase. They play International Series games in Mexico also. If the attendance figures keep breaking records, be prepared to see a London-based NFL franchise in the near future...
