A ridiculous idea.
The English Premiership has its own unique identity, in a big way down to the fans who create the atmosphere in the stadia, the stadia themselves, the climate, the style of play, the tempo etc. You can't directly export this, it's impossible.
The day you take it out of England, you remove the identity of the league.
It's a silly attempt at trying to make a few quid.
Supporters attend games throughout the year, they pay a lot, what a way to reward them. Fucking off abroad to play a game that may carry great significance to the outcome of their season, and they have to fly over, book a hotel etc in another country?, what ticket allocation do the fans get?
Then you have the fixture schedule, it's packed enough as it is. It's all besides the point anyway, which is, you don't take the identity out of the league.
Which tw@t came up with this idea?
