Fulham to play EPL match in USA???

Now we must fight our way out of relegation and stay up until the 2010/11 season.

I can see it now...an entire section of FulhamUSA members at Dolphin Stadium to watch the Whites host Ch***ea. Oh what a world we live in!

COYW!!!

 

Hmmm.. yeah, that would be in mid-season, right?

What a tour package. I see TWO of them in Florida. The other near the fun-parks.

 

how bout we just swap Fulham and Real Suck Lake? Fulham in MLS in my hometown...a nice new stadium for the Black & White!!! Who's up for it? Hello? Helloooooooooooo? Am I talking to myself again?

 

Yeah... but you're a frekin reactionary.

I recall your over-concern for the state of the turf in Wembley. Like the groundskeepers there didnt have a clue?

Who cares.. do or dont do. There is no crying in footy, after the fact.

sorta-paraphrased from a couple cultural sources.

 

Wigan - Bolton? By 2010 it will be Stoke and QPR.

 

The scheduling imbalance will kill this. Even if it does happen, I guarantee there will be a massive shitstorm of Tevez-gate like proportions if someone in the relegation zone plays a top 4 team.

 

As much as I'd like to see Fulham play in the states in a real EPL match, I think it's a horrible idea, especially mid season. These guys are already exhausted then with the brutal holiday schedule. I agree with Don, I say play some exhibition matches in the preseason. At the very least, make these out of country matches the first match of the season. I'm amazed at how money hungry the league is!

 

That's the first thought that popped up to my mind when I read about it. Even then, I think this would serve to benefit the "Big Four" teams the most, considering the burgeoning fan bases popping up in places like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc. As Don said, there won't be many people who will turn out to a Wigan-Bolton match.

I think the head honchos at the EPL headquarters have listened to this song far too many times.

 

FIFA rejects Premier League plans

This was never going to happen, frankly. The football federations around the world were never going to allow the EPL to come marching into their turfs and go on money-making ventures. AFC (Asia's main federation) wouldn't even let Man Yoo play an exhibition match last summer due to the Asian Cup; there was no chance in hell they were going to allow Premiership matches to be held in their domain.

Another blow for the soul of the English game, it seems.

 

Well despite you all pissing on my parade, I can still see it now...The Cubs have just won the World Series in game 7 at Wrigley...I barely have time to celebrate when a week later the Whites come into Craven Cottage West...Wrigley field...to take on...what the f*ck!?!? Sunderland??? Sh*t...well there goes that dream.

 

You went off the rails when you posted the words Cubs, won, and World Series in the same sentence.
