Until the mid-2000s the Shitsberg Steelers were more or less still living on their successes from the 1970s!!

They do still have a big cult following. What that article seemed to be saying is that a large % of British NFL fans are stuck in the 80s, which is true.
The fanbase has expanded since then though, so obviously there are more fans into different teams but I'd still expect to see a helluva lot of 40-something Dolphins fans at a London NFL game, even if they aren't actually playing.
