No Premier League matches to be played abroad

[KS55]

Absolutely abhorrent unless they want to move Liverpool away then great idea.

The dippers don’t play in England so they wouldn’t be missed. Timbuktu would be a good place for them.

What has Timbuktu ever done to get those cunts ?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Another idea to shit on the supporters who are the only permanent part of the club, any club, from generation to generation.

Even stadiums come and go.

I don't think they'll (rightfully) ever play games abroad.

But, having been to Leeds before ... maybe it wouldn't all be bad.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Como v Milan is being played in Perth

Villareal v Barca is being played in Miami.

Both league games

Have FIFA/UEFA signed off on either yet??
Can't find confirmation anywhere - and it's a requirement I believe.
Not suggesting they won't as both organisations aren't exactly squeaky clean are they - but there's a very slim chance they say no

Says Richard Masters.

So I think it’s odds on that will be coming soon and City will be playing Liverpool in somewhere like Las Vegas at 3 o’clock on a Sunday morning in the middle of January.

What does everybody think?

I don’t think the Government would permit it, they would intervene.

Doesn’t matter what Masters says.
He’ll be gone as soon as the verdict on City hits.

I’d send them to Syria to play.
I hear it’s a lovely place for football.

 

[Bald fraud]

Don’t listen to a word this fucking maggot says. He’ll do whatever his yank paymasters want!

It was the sequel to Timbukone.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Can't wait till we have a big title decider home game vs top 4 opposition, a time when we really need the crowd to roar the lads to victory.

They'll no doubt "randomly" select that game to be played at a Superdome of some sort in the states.

It is a Fifa rule blocking both, and if they let one do it the cat is out the bag, may as well have signed off a world league.

American owners are a huge threat to our game. Yet their fans and press/media turn a blind eye to the threat.

Give it another few seasons and the league champions will be decided by a top 4 play off

Septics have got 13% of our shares n’all.

Master won't have a say on it very shortly.

 

[Goater101]

We all know who will start this trend off. Then the rest are "forced" to follow.

Then super league. it's gonna happen once most 50+ "legacies" are gone.

If that ever happens I'll probably just sack the sport off.

Just watch non league instead and enjoy a beer on the side of the pitch. I see myself heading towards this in a couple years

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

It's inevitable that PL games will get moved abroad IMO. The American owners will push for it as they will try and follow what the NFL does.

Who fancies going to watch City v Brentford in Kazakhstan on a Wednesday night?

I've already seen City play two away games at Maine Road (Newcastle FAC 74-75 and Jamaica 1998) and a home game in Yorkshire so anything is possible.
But PL games won't be played all over the place as the backlash from fans would be unbelievable.
However it's nice to see people getting all hot and bothered over something that will never happen.

Jamaica?

 

[blueish swede]

I can see the first game of the season being targeted for this, with a Sunday/Monday kick off for those teams affected. The clubs will like the increaed income with all the tickets up for grabs and no discounts. It's a "natural" progression from the iternational friendly tours that clubs do now. Coiuld possibly work after a winter / International break as well.

Jamaica?

The game against Jamaica just after relegation in 1998 was a warm up game for the upcoming World Cup. It was hosted by the Jamaican FA so we were the away team officially. No goals and zero excitement, but some unusual thinks being smoked, and I don't mean kippers.
