English fans may be the bloodline of the EPL, but its obvious that the foreign audience(especially those in Asia) are almost equal to them with respect to the money earned. Look at the fixtures which favour the Asian TV timings. Dont get me wrong. It is the domestic fans that made the clubs what they are today, but the greedy clubs and the FA are looking to tap the foreign market and milk it dry as well. It comes down to the old saying, “This is Art, its also good business but first and foremost its Art…….”
And I sincerely hope that the proposal falls flat on its face………….

Because they’re the ones who show up at the stadium week in week out. Without their attendances, i.e. without a full ground, what is really the point?
