Default Premier League To play matches outside of England

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...em/7232390.stm

Hi there, I was just wondering how this will be coded in the next edition of the game?

As they wil have to plan or put into the future, so that when you reach the 2010/2011 season your team has one fixture arranged at a neutral venue.
Will this be possible, or will the fixtures just stay as they are currently?

It'll have to be finalised in reality first.

This is only an idea at the moment anyway, so at the moment, SI have nothing to worry about.

why does it have to be another round of matches why cant they just use a current weekend of fixtures, rather than the possibilty of a relegation candidate having another match against manchester united, all it looks likely to achieve is filling pockets and takes integrety away from the game

A couple of points. First, I doubt that SI will ever have an answer to anything the day it is announced.

Second, I don't believe it will ever happen, because the loss of English fans disgusted at the whoring out of their clubs will far outweight any financial gain. Even Sepp Blatter wouldn't come up with this.

i hope they do it for one season though, so america bid a lot of money and get derby vs fulham or something. but in all seriousness i cannot be done and in the article the guy is trying to kid himself.
