For 2010 in theory
Season extended by 1 game from 38 to 39. Extra game is competitive, counts towards league standings
every team goes abroad for one game
top 5 clubs seeded, so avoid each other in the overseas games. random draw apart from that
to be voted on this summer
thoughts?

It seems to be the way ahead - witness the NFL game in London.
There was a proposal last season that Celtic play Hearts in Australia, a proper league game, for a big wedge of cash - it was shot down.
I think this will come as the TV rights in other countries are valuable, BUT it'll push on the clubs' agenda of individual TV rights.

Seems a bit unfair to have the title potentially decided by a random fixture?

i gather the games would be played in January, first game back after a short Xmas break to avoid a title or relgation decider being played in say, Singapore, in May |

Play these games during the Xmas period - the players and managers love that part of the season. I think the one thing the Premiership needs is more games every season.

I'd love to see the look on some foreign stadium owner's face when he's told that the game he's been allotted is Reading v Middlesborough.

He doesn't even get alloted it though, they have to bid for games. You'd certainly want to know which games you were likely to get before bidding. I don't see it as a good step forward for football. We need to work out a way to reduce the money involved imo, not increase it by selling off more matches to foreign stadium owners. |

I'd like to see all Chelsea's home games played overseas - keep their Neanderthal fans out of the way.

Well Boro are used to playing in front of half empty stadiums. |
