    Don’t really mind either way. I’d have be pretty bored to watch a full Spanish game. My interest in watching the premier league is dropping like a stone too apart from a few sides who play attacking football.

    It's about promoting your team more. I wouldn't mind if Chien got us a TV deal in China that meant home games had to kick off midday so it was prime time Saturday night over there. You do what it takes to increase revenue channels.

    I for one would stop going. Why should we give up over a hundred years of tradition to suit some jolly come lately wannabe foreign fans.

    Why should it be moved for China to watch though? They have the option to watch their local side. This is our local team and we shouldn't be changing this for people at the other side of the world (or country).

    Also, think about those few people who follow OUR team all over the country home and away. They are bound to already use a large proportion of their wages and holiday allowance to not miss a game. Let's just put this one on in another country. They then might not be able to go. It's just not right.

    Ok, I could have phrased that better, but you get my anger.

    The NFL has two or three games in London each year, the British fans love it and the players seem to have a good time too.

    I'd be very pi55ed off if they did this. It's our club and changing a fundamental tradition in pursuit of some armchair fans would cross a line. The fans who pay to go through the turnstiles and watch from the terraces have to be put first.

    Every now and then won't harm us. It's not like it would be 7 am or 10 pm. It would be 2-3 hours earlier, which is nothing if it means getting our name out there more globally. It's not like fixtures moving to another country like with NFL, which I would never agree with. Traditions evolve over time.

    In your initial post you seemed to suggest changing to midday to suit overseas audiences, therefore it would become regular. Forget tradition midday is such a crap KO time.
