you might end up with something like they have in the AFL here, or the NRL did innLas vegasā¦a whole complete round of fixturesā¦
the AFL play one full round in Adelaide and call it the āgather roundā
distance can be overcome by slapping it in the middle of a 2.5 week 'āwinter breakā and schedule the fixtures in countries with forgiving climates at that time of year.
its a shame, but itrs very doableā¦
when the NRL went to vegas it was celebrated as a victory for the gameā¦(albeit the NRL is a different beast spectator wise to the PL)ā¦even in the AFL the āgather roundā is celebrated, and travelling fans (costs a lot less obviously) can veiw it as one big party.
you could probably end up with a knock out style cup for just PL teams and excuse them entrance into the league cupā¦that way no league games get moved but the competition is an official one.
one thing i think is for sureā¦the fallout wont be what we would hope it would beā¦
If it meant the games were played same time as those nonsensical England friendlies that come about every few weeks of a new seasonā¦ Would suit me to head off to New York
The NRL took 2 games to Las Vegas to open up the season the publicity was absolutely massive they are doing the same next year too.
I remember seeing a bit about this over xmas when I was back home, but never caught the games. What sort of crowd did they get?
With AI, we will play here in Liverpool and then the real time holograms will be shown in a LA stadium. Win win.

Do we have any sponsors from the Middle East at the moment?
Are we avoiding them?
Not saying it is a bad thing.
Iām sure most of us would have tipped one of the Middle East airlines to be our next airline partner.
So im wondering if we have kind of an embargo on the Middle East.

Most of the Middle Eastern companies are tied to other clubs, thankfully. UAE is with the You Know Who 
, the Saudis are building the Sandcastle, while Qatar QSG and sponsorship with Barcelona. Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain are perhaps not so aggressive. Bahrain are scums too.
