    So Real Madrid are kicking off because La Liga have requested that Girona's home game against Barcelona is played in the US (Miami) as part of a 15 year deal they have signed that commits to playing one La Liga game a year in the US (presumably they want it to involve withe Barça or Real).

    What are your feelings on this. How would we feel if our home game against Man City for instance was made to be played in the US by the FA?

    It could help the exposure of clubs maybe.

    Okay by me...if they paid the travelling and hotel costs.

    :)


    Otherwise absolutely not. Let them get their own teams..oh hang on...they already have them. I’m sure it isn’t just for the money. They wouldn’t do that, would they? :emoticon-0138-think

    The US fans can come over and watch a game any time they like. We need to move away from thinking the focus in football should be making as much money as possible and start thinking about making the game the best it can be and serve the local fans first and foremost. It was bad enough with Sky moving Newcastle games on the south coast to Monday night etc. Let's grow the global brand of the elite clubs. No, let's just **** off will you.
