Poll Results: Is the EPL playing an extra match abroad a good idea?
Posted February 19, 2008 Posted Under: EPL, Objectivo Poll
Yes: 25%
No: 75%
Three quarters of the voters think that the EPL playing abroad for a match is a bad idea. Most of the International community believes that this is a bad idea as well, but why? It seems that every country or region has a specific or different reason why they believe this is a bad idea. The United States dislikes this idea greatly because with the great skill and pace that the EPL possesses, it will draw MLS fans away from their clubs. In England, many people don’t like the idea because a lot of the fans of the clubs are working class or middle class people. These hardcore fans, in most cases, couldn’t fly to America or Asia for a league match, and that takes away from their connection with their clubs.
It's obvious this is a money producing ploy, there is a reason why there is an early match in England every weekend, and it's to sell the league to Asia. There are many other objections and reasons for disliking this idea, what specifically are yours?

Yea, this is a stupid idea for the football clubs in England as well as it will kill the MLS if its the last match of the year. Thank god most people feel the same way.
