Those staying at Greenbrier this weekend better get a comped pass to create any atmosphere.

Failed me? Don't get that one.

But he did try an fail on FXFL, but at least he tried.

The SL may be a non starter but it's a diff type of attempt.

Oh, God. You will spin anything.
While there are 4 teams they never said 40 a team
What is this...World War II?
Having said all that. Its a test season like fxfl was a test
Spin, spin, spin.

It's bull****, is what it is. It's a glorified scrimmage.

No one is that football desperate.

General admission tickets are $48.

That's right. $48.

Plus a $3.63 fee.

So $51.63 to watch this dreck.

But, hey, kids 12 and under are free! ("Dad, which team do we want to win?")

It's only $11.54 for Greenbrier County residents, of which there are only 35,644, give or take.

As I stated before Woods and some other planned developmental leagues are using a football model only concept and that without knowing the rest is a dead model, your point is well established Sam.

Someone dropped the (MOAB) on Woods idea :wink:

will be interesting to see if there are any eyeballs on the two scrimmage games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday . . .

both live and on Facebook Live stream . . .

(I place the over/under at 500 total fans for each "game")

You forgot the VIP Experience at $133 which likely lets you get to meet Brian Woods so that you know the smell and shake the hand of failure.

What is the "football model only" concept?

You have to generate revenue unless this is a philanthropy. That means you have to have paying customers.

And that's hard to do when you're creating teams out of the ether. It's hard enough when those teams represent an actual city. This is just scrimmages.

Kellen Winslow's not getting back to the NFL based on this.

Its simply where you gather some players give the group a name etc.

And the most important part price of admission, all of the infrastructure things are of little consequence you see it over and over, no real mission statement vision nor layout upon how the league will be developed over time.
Even if the concept is not easily followed by most people looking outside in, it should still make some sense to even just one person, oh wait it does 4th& long (get it right) :smile: just kidding 4th I know you have a sense of humor, but really that is what a football model only concept is it can be seen in semi pro leagues across America lets play ball is the battle cry forget about all the other stuff.

Its okay to start there but you have to have something that would suggest it will get better, most football only model's don't .

Rebirth of the USFL A11 SFL and many other ABC leagues, remember their mission statements, mostly stated give young men the opportunity to play football develop mid 20's mid level players into professional football players.

They cut the quarters from 15 to 12 minutes.

Or 20 percent less playing time.

There are 79 people watching the stream at the moment and hearing Woods lie.

The viewership seemed to peak about 1.2k at the beginning, but they've lost a third of that in the first fifteen minutes. Probably because the production is so bad.

This "film" can't really help anybody.
