villa4europe Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The south Korean following is obvious but why spurs are so successful in the states is a bit of a mystery to me, they're huge there and I think it's a big reason why they're somehow blagging this big 6 position they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All can think of Yeah I thought about thr ex players but they don't seem enough to make spurs the 3rd or 4th biggest club over there Maybe they've done some pre seasons tuff and a load of donkey work there, maybe their popularity there is actually exaggerated Maybe the yanks jsut like supporting teams who never win anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were just positioned in the right place in the table and geographically at the right time and did the right things about it. Its a shame because a few years earlier maybe that could have been Villa, and I think this article and others like it had quite an impact. https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US sport has all those Broncos and Raiders and the like, while British teams - if they have a title at all - tend to be called things like Town, City, United, etc. 'Spurs' is about the only one that sounds dramatic/aggressive.

Doesn't seem to have helped Rugby League establish itself Stateside. Spurs might sound like it should be in a cowboys shoe, but who else can say they sound like a fancy house in Spain.

villa4europe Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Did cross my mind that there could be a Jewish connection in areas such as new york Googled it and read up a bit, sounds like a mixture of a lot of things including the name and the idea of supporting a good club without glory hunting but also sounds like Levy has put the leg work in, spends a lot of time there and they've had some successful tours there But then perhaps most importantly when NBC bought the PL rights and gave it a huge push in the states the face of it was Gareth Bale... Really was just that kind of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
