I wonder how much this run will mean to LCFC as far as an American fan base.

Posted by CQ (aka CQ) Dec 19 '15, 08:38

More and more Americans are becoming fans of the EPL and they really have no allegiance to any one club. It's basically a free for all for EPL teams to try and reap the rewards of an untapped fan base. Now even the average American sports fan knows Chelsea, Man U., Arsenal, City, and Liverpool, but there is still a massive amount of fans still searching for "their" squad to root for.

LCFC play great football that is fun to watch. The amount of dollars from merchandising etc. will be massive for them.

I was at a Blues, BBQ, and beer fest in Charlotte and saw a group of 5 Americans with LCFC jerseys. They probably never even heard of them 2 years ago. That is crazy

It is crazy. They just don't fade away. What a story. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 19, 08:40 3
- Solid 3 points for Spurs. nj -- nm - CQ Dec 19, 08:54 1
  - Top 4! Though it's tight. Cant believe we lost to Newcastle. -- nm - volnelk Dec 19, 09:07
- I mean, it's early, but based on past years and their points haul already, they should be top 4 and playing Champions League next year -- nm - CQ Dec 19, 08:42
