Why not just introduce slavery again? and make it mandatory to watch the EPL in return to be fed.

That way they can take all the money and not have to worry about the development of other leagues ever attracting their own fans…because no one will be allowed to play or watch local teams!

Im a genius I tell ya!

I think this is a brilliant idea of playing games in all city’s, I think personally they should get U.S.A, Japan, Australia and so on. I also support this idea, 100% of playing games abroad and the 39th game as well. I read that U.S.A are interested in playing in the Premier League as well. We know David Beckham is playing for LA Galaxy and he was saying in the past that he wants to get Soccer big in the U.S.A like Football is big in the U.K. and europe. I know in U.S.A they don’t call it Football, they call it Soccer. Let’s make it the 39th game happen. World Premier League is a brilliant to say. Here’s a dream game, why not LA Galaxy V.S. Man Utd at Old Trafford, that is a dream come true. Bring the 39th, game, please, please, please. We want the 39th game.

I think the Premier League has to look at the Bundesliga for how to make things much for interesting for fans. I think the introduction of terraces for one could do the trick. Also, the reduction of season ticket prices. The rates for some of the teams, especially those based in England are just ridiculous. And they also have to learn to use the Internet to their advantage. Look at SeriaA Tv that posts highlights of all Serie A games on YouTube.
And yup, MLS Live TV is pretty damn good!

MLS Live TV is a superior product. Really outstanding. MLS for all its faults has since its inception been ahead of the curve with its website, and interactive audio and video. Even in 1998 the MLS website was awesome!

I absolutely agree with Phil. Half the battle in building dedicated fans is giving them complete access to watching your team.

Living in Boston, I try to catch as many Arsenal matches as I possibly can. A lot of the time, their matches are broadcast on Fox Soccer live. But for Champions League/Cup matches, I’m on my own. My cable provider doesn’t have Setanta, and “Arsenal TV Online” only is guaranteed to have a handful of games. If the match is on Sky Sports 1 or 2, I’m out of luck.

Considering the fact that there are services out there like MLB.tv and MLS.tv, I don’t see why the Premier League can’t make all games available over the internet (both on-demand and live) to anyone worldwide.
