If this ever happens that’ll probably be where I check out.

This crap is ridiculous. It’s bad enough that our teams have to be travelling all over the place because of the Champions League/being in Europe. Now they want games abroad? Our players will not have ample rest time.

Tim Payton is a cantankerous fuck, he’ll be perfect for that.
Hope the premier league put this idea back on the shelf and leaves it there. Terrible idea.

These fuckers won’t show 3pm games but will ship out games to a whole other continent. Moving from London to NY I miss seeing The Arsenal every week but I never ever want to see a NLD in America.

As long as it is in Dubai lol kidding. If this happens for sure there will be a Saudi and Qatar fixtures.

Nah if this ever happens I will just stop following PL all together. Got much shit to do in life than to wake up at 4am to watch matches

American and I don’t want EPL games here. They need to stay at home

Good. Aside from all the other reasons why this is a terrible thing, the PL really doesn’t need this commercial exposure in the way La Liga or others do.

If this ever happens this place will be a clusterfuck juxtaposition of people rightly outraged and others desperate to get tickets.

Has Fulham’s ownership made any comments on this?

The fact they even need any “evidence” is already ridiculous

Starmer better put an end to this bullshit when he’s in the job

I am a died in the wool American Arsenal fan for over 40 years…
I will be very upset if we have matches played in the United States that matter…
Goes against everything I believe in…
I don’t mind the cash grab games that they do in order to build the brand over here in the states, but we do not need these players to be dealing with additional cause for exhaustion during a season. Mind you, I do not attend the cash grab games.
Part of the experience of English football is the pint a pub the pie the people

With Starmer, an Arsenal season ticket holder, about to be PM… no chance the British Gov allow it lol

This is why we need the independent regulator.
I have no doubt these games would be huge money spinners but the Premier League doesn’t need it, it already is the richest league in the world and has the most exposure, it boils down to pure greed and takes a game away from season ticket holders too (because you know not a single club will reduce prices to reflect it).

Why can’t they just fuck off and respect our values/traditions? They have the MLS for crying out loud, they have their own sports that nobody else but they play, a whole college athelete system, they’re swimming in sport entertainment but they want what’s ours? It’s so grating.
The horse has already bolted but there really should be something done about the ownership model in football. I wish we had the 50+1 model like in Germany.

Let me get this straight.
In England:
– We have an issue with teams having scalpers collect home tickets to resell for a huge markup;
– We have an issue with teams having season ticket holders buy up and resale away tickets for a huge markup;
– We have the least amount of Premier League games televised, the Irish, Indians and Americans can watch more live Premier League games than we can; and
– As it stands, you need subscriptions to Amazon, Sky and BT Sport (£XXX a month) in order to NOT be able to watch all the prem games.
