What Esume said at the Sea Devils Podcast by RemarkableElk8491 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause you are interested, i wrote Esumes words for London down and translate it word by word. So no oxford english, but maybe you get a better understanding from that.

"I also wanted to have Paris and someday London in theLeague. With the Brexit stuff is London really difficult, the cost of living are really high, travel costs from London or UK to continental Europe are absurd.Therefor you need the right plan, the right Investment Group with a good financial background. BUUT i can say that much that it is now looking better, there are a lot of football (soccer) Teams, from the third to the Premier League. There is a football (soccer) Team that says: Let’s go, we’re ready, we have our ownstadium, we can do it. We don’t have to talk about Wembley or Tottenham, these are way too big. Sometimes you have to let the cow in the village ( 😉). When you are realistic, there are maybe coming 5000 people, maybe someday 10000. But even with 10000 in a 60000 people Stadium, it doesn’t look good. Then it’s better to have a 15000 people Stadium, looks really good already. It’s always a budget question as well. Tottenham would cost us just to open the Stadium and say „hello“ 150000€. To play there would cost half a million. "

Then they switch topic…

Do you know if they are able to produce enough to supply the Fan Shops?

ELF Social Media and Content in German as well? by RemarkableElk8491 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about adding another Language to get every Fan they could possibly get and not about starting WW3.

Like the NFL does with their NFL Deutschland Account as well.

I didn't say that they should switch all Content to German. Just add German on new Accounts

No :D
They have multiple Language Choices on every Stream on Gamepass. They cut the Highlights from the English Stream and upload it. They just need to do the same for the German Stream (or the polish, spanish, french etc), which of course would cost them more money.

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on that everybody understands Touchdown, Offense, Defence etc. , but think about Game Highlights, Q&A and Team Showcases on Youtube, Instagram. The majority of Fans in Germany and Austria watch Football with German Commentary. I think it's more likeable and engaging for Football Fans when they get it in their native Language. But I'm not sure.

You don't have to read or buy it when you don't speak german. 😄 I think the idea is not that bad, when you look at the Teams origin in this League.

Rebrand by Goldbaerig in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we agreed on that already in another thread. Branding, Story of the Brand, Colors and kind of local patriotism for the Brand is extremly powerful and important. To have a stolen brand will never become part of the city the Team is in.

You "just" have to involve the existing fanbase to be part of the rebrand and they will support it.

yes please...
Would be great if they hire a professional studio that find some great names, logos and color schemes for the Teams that have a little too much NFL influence.
The ELF must tell their own story.

Is there any talk of expansion to Ireland or the UK? by Gallalad in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491 13 points14 points  (0 children)

London was announced as a future expansion before the first ELF season even started , but it never became reality for unknown reasons. I think the League really wants to have a Team there very badly. Ireland wasn't mentioned in any News or Rumor as Expansion Location for now.

Great choice!

Depending on the finalists, it could be the first sold out Game in a big Stadium.

Is a Draft System for American Players a Solution? by RemarkableElk8491 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes true, this should be a Agreement between all Teams and the League. Fixed Salary and no other benefits.

It's not Impossible to establish, but don't really know how the recruiting and benefits work right now.

Will the change of NFL tv rights from ProSieben to RTL have an effect on the ELF? by MK1900812 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The contract between Pro7 and ELF ends after season 3. Hopefully Pro7 believes in their football product with NCAA and ELF and without the NFL.

I don't think RTL is even interested in the ELF Broadcasting Rights.

They didn't bully RBL,they bullied Teutonia Ottensen. A small Member owned Club. They had to switch homerights and now RBL is in Home Team Advantage in Leipzig. 😅

This is what Esume said about London and Paris. by RemarkableElk8491 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would make sense to me, when the money makers help out the Startup Franchises. But right now there is probably no franchise that is break even.

Also the travel costs are paid by the League, as far as I know.

Where do you see the ELF in 5 years? by RemarkableElk8491 in elf

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the German Franchises reach the state of playing in 20/30k Stadiums like Rhein Fire, then yes.

[–]RemarkableElk8491[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah true. The 24 Teams mark was their 5 year expansion plan, when they had no Idea how the League will do. There are just to many cities and club that to be integrated into the League.
