Gribz 837 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7232390.stm An absolute nonsense IMO and shouldnt even be looked at. As soon as seedings etc comes into play the competitive side of things goes out the window. We'd all like to see a Premier game live but if thats the case we should go to there stadiums. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 So the fans are expected to spend even more money to travel to foreign countries to watch their team? Absolute joke! No one gives a toss about the fans. The FA are just interested in making money for themselves. Selfish, ignorant cunts! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wija 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 All about money... it is and will be unworkable unless they have a winter break.... travel to Oz/Thailand for a Saturday game, then travel back on the Sunday night, get back Tuesday morning - Fooked from jetlag for 3-4 days.... also health implications - blood clots, DVT etc.... it isn't feasible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 837 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 The more i think about it the more I cant believe how much the Fat Cats are ruining the game. Id love to see West Ham over here but that would be from my view and it would still be wrong for them to play a league match out of England. They are talking about capping players wages but this will only increase it with the amount of revenue the clubs would get from Middle East and Asia billionnaires who would pay for this. What about them running the game giving something back to the fans for a change - that would never happen though. Plus there would be fans who havent missed a league game for years and all of a sudden they have to travel and pay 600 quid to watch there team!!! Nonsense!!! The only POSSIBLE shout for a game out of the UK would be to host the FA cup final somewhere. But that would NEVER be allowed as they need to pay off Wembley. By all means the Premiership clubs can go on Asia tours in the summer but play each other but leave the League alone!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 EPL is now only about money... They've completely sold out and one wonders what could happen to the clubs if the demand for TV dwindles and Sky pull out... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think something big could happen to the Premier League in the next 5 years or so. Rumour has it ESPN are going to out bid Sky in the next tv rights bid which means the tv schedule will be ran from the US. Sky has brought on the Premier League but imagine the revenue loss they would have if they lost the rights!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
