So here is a potentially dumb question from someone that doesn't live in England:
Do EPL teams that have many players on the England national team gain in popularity? Seeing how Spurs appear to have 3-5 starters moving forward, if they have success Internationally, would that do anything for a teams popularity within England?
I don't live in England, but based on what I've seen over the years I'd say it's more down to the success of the club more than anything. You get regional loyalties for sure, but I think Spurs would need to be more successful to gain popularity. Of course having popular players would surely make a difference as well, but overall thinking back to that map someone posted a couple of months back I would think if any club were to gain popularity outside of it's home base it would be down to success more than anything.
