Naturally, the UK market is one that is slowly becoming infatuated with the game and as such will hold massive appeal to any league that is looking to expand its audience. Now, if you’re going to send anyone from Arizona to the UK then it simply has to be those with a connection to London and the UK as a whole. Given that Glenn Smart is from the UK and began his journey in the league with the London Royals, his ticket is as good as booked. Additionally, we have Tayshawn Crunk and L’Gazzy Burfict — both of whom have strong connections to the country, due to their time in London, where they also picked up an Ultimini of their own. We would invite Z-Whiz but he doesn’t travel well and would just dampen the mood with his constant complaining about the lack of a Starbucks every 10 meters. Instead, we’ll take Cortez. A big name QB would certainly add weight to the campaign.
Usually, when other leagues do such workshops in the UK, they always focus on London. They work with the London Blitz and the London Warriors, as it’s easy to get to them and they’re probably the two most dominant teams in the country. A team from London has featured in or won the national final (“Britbowl”) every year since 1997. In Arizona, we have no interest in that nonsense. We’d head north.
A whirlwind tour of workshops with the Tamworth Phoenix, Birmingham Bulls, Sandwell Steelers and potentially even the Shropshire Revolution if we could make the time, would see us hit a demographic of highly engaged players with a high standard of play — and we would be back in Arizona for Monday morning. Perfect!
