39 Games - A Game Too Far
 

07 October The English Premier League is considering the idea of staging some matches around the rest of the world.

At a meeting in London on Thursday, all 20 clubs agreed to explore a proposal to extend the season to 39 games.

Those 10 extra games would be played at five different venues, with cities bidding for the right to stage them.

It is understood the additional fixtures could be determined by a draw but that the top-five teams could be seeded to avoid playing each other.

Not the surprisingly, individual supporters ,the life blood of the game together with supporter groups   immediately expressed their concern and opposition to the ill proposed idea. Believing the idea to be unfair to supporters , whilst threatening to bring the game and the integrity of the League competition and game in this country into disrepute.

Meanwhile back in the limelight ,Newcastle United manager , Kevin Keegan, gave an interview on national radio  broadly welcoming the idea , as well thought out.
