They can either have 3400 fans in the stands and no national/local awareness of the existence of the team whatsoever, or they can just be unrealistic as hell.
Then again, I'm not sure how you can maintain a spin-off of Ted Lasso without that sort of feel-good DNA and I just don't know how a Roy-centric show can pull that off. Roy's prickly nature is what makes him entertaining. And honestly, HIS arc has largely wrapped up at this point, IMO.
Jamie, Sam, Nate, Keeley and maybe Beard have someplace to go at this point. Ted, Rebecca and Roy have reached a logical conclusion to their storylines. And I'm not sure Nate or Keeley are interesting enough to carry a show on their own.

I don't think that survives on its own. It's a secondary arc to the main arc which is the men's team winning the whole damn thing. I just think it'll be hard to make that work on its own. A few hotties may help keep my attention.
I think arrowheadnation has it right that it's gonna be like The Office without Michael Scott. Which is a step down but at least it's still on. Unlike The Office I think introducing a side plot will keep the men's storyline from overexhausting story arcs that probably don't have a lot more you can do with it. I read a good point about The Office that one of the downfalls was that after they had exhausted their A plots, that's when you started to see the show become more about everyones personal lives which is where the show got less interesting.
