Let me make it clear I like the things as they are, I don't trust Platini at all and if I could work out why the need for the change other than the WC it would have to be something on the line of a European League. But leaving my negativity aside there are benefits to summer football
1) Weather
2) City square in a summer as opposed to winter would probably pack them in.
3) If the new developement at City include Hotels think of the tourists visiting in the summer rather than winter, if the area includes any sort of theme park, better during summer months than winter.
4) With proper consultation with other sports bodies it shouldn't be too difficult to arrange games so they don't class with Cricket or Rugby games in same area just need those fuckwits with the computer to do it right.
5) Less costs for the club through heating and lighting. No floodlit matches during May June and July because of light nights.
6) Kids off during summer holidays away for fortnight with parents rest of time could go to footie with parents.
The above is not a complete list and I am sure a lot of people on here could expand it. I do agree though that Platini has again issued a proposed change without thinking it through and I am in no doubt that the FA s all all the named European leagues will kill this stone dead. It isn't going to happen.
