Interesting point though, our next season's fixtures don't come out until July, if the NFL fix there's earlier there could be a clash so I'd imagine the NFL fixture would be set for sunday.

Nah, they're an American company now so they'd understand, it's funny but my opinion of sky improved the moment that bastard Murdoch sold it.Knowing Sky they'd want to change our PL game to the Sunday just to be *****.
They were only ever gonna play 1 NFL game in 2018 when the stadium wont even be open until August/September.
I thought they were talking about playing just 2 games per year?Actually, the entirety of an NFL regular (pre-playoffs) season takes place between early September and the end of the year; so they've pretty much had a full slate from which to choose.
I'm not sure.I thought it was a minimum of two per season?
The NFL never plays on Saturdays in the regular season, because that's college football's day.Nah, they're an American company now so they'd understand, it's funny but my opinion of sky improved the moment that bastard Murdoch sold it.
You're probably not wrong though but I imagine the police would veto it if we didn't put a good case forward and if we didn't fancy it I doubt we would. The other way round would be more awkward though, if an NFL game was scheduled for Saturday day and our game wasn't taken up by Sky or BT I don't know that the premier league would allow us to change our game to the Sunday.
A Super Bowl is possible albeit extremely unlikely due to the time difference. Super Bowls are held on neutral fields much like UCL finals. A playoff game will never happen unless an NFL team moves to London. NFL playoff teams are seeded with the higher seeded team hosting the game. It's a big advantage and any NFL fanbase would go nuts if they moved a playoff game to London.Interesting post on SSC;
NFL update from another source and a handbook which THFC have sent out to corporate tickets holders;
- Strong rumours, and a leaked PDF, which shows Raiders v LA at 11 November 2018 at NWHL. Interestingly that’s the only game scheduled next year at NWHL.
- Handbook says in numerous places an “average of 2 games a season” and if it goes below 2 then NFL holders get a refund and if it goes above 2 then NFL holders pay more.
- Handbook mentions Super Bowl and playoff games specifically, although I doubt we’ll have a Super Bowl event at NWHL.
- We’re in the Sky Lounge and the food offering of “light food” is a bit disappointing and not really in line with what we were expecting having had the sales pitch.
- More ticket holders than expected get a car parking space (basically anyone with a higher corporate ticket than premium seats and holding four or more seats) and club have confirmed shuttle services in place for corporate tickets from “a number of places”.

That must have been when college football had finished its regular season and was waiting for its post-season bowl games, which are mostly played in the Christmas/new year period.There were definitely two sets of games on a Saturday during December this NFL season
If they'r prepared to play in anothe country I dont see moving 2 games to a Saturday being an issue. Plus if all other NFL games are on a Sunday itd pull the viewers in.
Whats puzzling me is why I'm talking about it
crazy how far the build has come in the past 12 months, 6-7 more months and we're done.
