If we sent the current team to Britain, I'm certain that would be deemed an act of war.

LOL!

toughest thing about the trip is the flight. stepping over people for 4-5 hours to take a piss, crying babies, scared snowflakes and watching horrible movies...........done it a couple of times and not fun.

RX drugs necessary.

Maybe they'll stay there.

Brits are in uproar about why our biggest ally has gone rogue ....1st you elect Trump then you send the Browns ....

Now I just might have to go visit my sister who lives just west of London.

And you'd get to meet up with a bunch of the Board.....

Thank God the Minutemen were not as inept as the Browns.

Nevertheless....it would be a great road trip. Meeting up with Howie/Gareth/Mac/gft/London Brown and the rest of the British crew there would be cool. I could visit relatives.

I just need to renew my passport and get over my eye problems....and find some money......and get approval from my wife to go alone because she would have to stay home and work. The last hurdle would be the hardest.

Yup- told Howie and G-Man I'd make the trip if they ever played in London.... I'm sure Keith would come down from Scotland. It won't be a budget road trip.

I hope it's considered a home game so I get a discount on my season tickets.

Although. The NFL will probably make us season ticket holders buy them anyway

On the bright side... odds are you'll be able to repatriate your resale profits virtually tax-free...

Whoever we play it will be the biggest massacre since Peterloo

I don't think London wants the browns. I wouldn't either

I dunno. The English and the Browns can learn how football works at the same time.

The English will have never in their long history faced such a challenge as seeing the Cleveland Browns come to their shore. A well known individual had some comments of protestation on the prospect of seeing the Browns play in London

I already see some similarities:

I'm definitely interested. Haven't been to "the isles" in 13 years and change when I proposed to my now wife in Applecross, Scotland... and have yet to visit Ireland. Wife would likely join me.

But the Devil is in the details... starting with an actual date. As long as it is clear of our holidays, it should green light the expedition.

Of course as one of two "hosts", you'd have a great deal to prep as well... pub crawl schedules... block of tickets... find a "lorry" with an actual tailgate... bail bond discounts.

Do you own enough kilts?

Canton Dawg

MKC is on WKYC with Josh Cribbs, and she said with confidence that the Browns WILL be going to London in 2017...as the home team.

Hopefully if it's considered a home game, that it comes late in the season. it's hard enough watching these guys in nice weather - to give up a September home game would really suck.

Does anybody know how the season ticket holders for other teams have been compensated (our luck it will be a credit based on the cheapest dates)?

I have one and if I was going to Great Britain I would probably order a new one while I was there in the Marshall tartan. My grandmother was a Marshall and according to the papers in Carroll County Ohio Captain John Marshall came from Ireland.
