People are getting carried away. It's an awful idea, I'll say that. Supposing it was happening now and we were drawn against Man U whilst Birmingham were drawn against Derby, it wouldn't be fair for the relegation battle. And there would be a lack of enthusiasm for Brum v Derby. And it's an English league, it should be played in England. It is all for commercialism and money. At the same time it's one game a season, it's not like people will lose the ability to watch their team. I agree. What if some teams are relying on this last fixture to avoid relegation or qualify for Europe. Who you get drawn against could be hugely unfair. If foreigners want to watch our games then switch on a tv or travel here. Damn right! I've just actually heard and interview with a chairman (don't know who it was) talking about "Growing the brand". Can someone tell me where the actaul game of football fits into this???

Pathetic dont these clubs play in Asia & the US during pre season isnt that enough??
Its just pure greed in my book, football continues to change for the worst. They want to grow the brand and make us mugs pay through the nose so there players can earn obscene amounts of money.

My American economics lecturer told us today that us English football fans are no longer fans, we're clients or customers. That's where the issue stems from. The clubs have no loyalty to us, they're now businesses and are looking to maximize profit from every angle and will never repay the undying loyalty we show.
