Default A Premiership game in America

The Egg seems to think it will happen

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...823849,00.html

Quote:
chairman Eggert Magnusson believes that playing a competitive Premier League game in the USA would be 'good for the game'.

The NFL's decision to play the first regular season game away from North America has fuelled a debate so to whether the Premier League should return the favour and play a game in the US.

"I can see that happening sooner rather than later. It would be good for the game," Magnusson told Sky Sports News.

Arsenal's American shareholder Stan Kroenke added: "There is probably a good chance of getting a game to go over there because both owners could agree to it.

"I think there is a reasonable chance it could take place in the future."

Wembley is the venue for the encounter between The Miami Dolphins and New York Giants, which takes place on Sunday.

And Jonathan Tisch, co-owner of NFL franchise the New York Giants, admits he would love to stage a Premier League clash in the Big Apple.

"Wearing another one of my hats as head of tourism in New York City, we would welcome an English game in the states," he said.

"It would be great for New York's tourism, it would be great in the United States too to spread the game internationally.

"People want to be part of this global environment, and sport is a rallying point where people can put aside their differences and root for a team."
It will happen it is only a matter of time. The premiership business men and the NFL buisness people are at a conference in london today discussing how to improve revenue streams and such

How would you feel about this?

For me it would be the final nail in the coffin of Football

Don;t really see the point. I get the idea of the NHL and NHL playing a game over here. They are sports that are trying to access new fans in a country where they're not seen as a bis deal. But teams from the UK coming over to the US, where there is already a league structure in place. Seems strange.

Guess a one off pre-season thing could happen. probably already has.

I remember years ago the talk of having an old firm game in the States/Canada and Australia. All seemed a bit daft.

Why do they need a Premiership game, when the MLS is such a quality product?

Can't see much point in it, to be honest.

Quite like the concept the RFL use with their 'Millennium Magic' weekend. Something like this in a series of venues or a single venue over a weekend would always be interesting. But still don't see any reason for it.
