Playing League Matches Overseas

[iz futbal]

That's what pre-season games are for.

This isn't the NFL, it's not a franchise sport, it's still inherently local football.

I'm one of those fans from another country and I loved when Spurs came to Australia twice, but there seems something inherently wrong with playing competitive league games outside the country.

Guess you are right, theres preseason games in these 'fan' countries. Forgot those for a second. So they do get something for following the club from that far.

Either I wouldnt mind where they held 1 match a season, but I can understand why people would get whiny if it did happen.

If Spurs v Woolwich is the 39th game and is played in Qatar (their bid will of course be the winner) I assume that Levy will be laying on £10 travel for ST holders.

My go to club if this happens is Southend ....


Oh well he should be sacked soon.

I don’t mind extra matches in a foreign country, but if the FA decide to take a match away from the fans then there should be a riot
