Apparently non-notable British American Football team. Nothing other than a sprinkling of coverage. A google web search turns up a BBC News article and 3 of articles on the Daily Mirror's American Football blog (all in 2010). A google news search turns up little beyond articles (with inconsistent regularity) in local newspapers. Google book search seems to return a title that uses Wikipedia as its source. Perhaps the following quote from the Google news summary of an article (Miami Herald article on a Miami Dolphins match in London) sums the up Sussex Thunder's notability "One, the Sussex Thunder, plays in front of crowds that team chairman Tony Miller guessed at "30 or 40 people."". Searching around for photos suggests to me that 30 or 40 is generous.
A second issue is that since I cleared out sections that were purely advertising in nature and/or cut and paste from the team's website, there is little of encyclopaedic value left. Pit-yacker (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - if the statement that they now play in the premier division of the British American Football League is accurate, they were a team at the top level of the sport in their country, and are therefore notable. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:39, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- Comment:According to the website of their league they are in "Division 1 South". For completeness, that site states that the Premier League teams are Bristol Aztecs, Coventry Jets, Farnham Knights, London Blitz, London Warriors and Tamworth Phoenix. Pit-yacker (talk) 09:50, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- Delete no sources given. If independent reliable sources are found and it looks good, I'd happily change my position.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
