The Premiership met resistance when it suggested the idea of a ’39th game’, a fixture to be played abroad in the Middle East, Asia or the United States. However, it has now been suggested that the idea could be used in the Sky Bet Championship.
Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler reckons that the time for the idea has come with a multi-cultural division with so many foreign players and a number of foreign investors. The game could be beamed back to the home stadiums so that fans wouldn’t miss out, although he doesn’t say anything about the time difference.

Clubs could play games in cities with which they would have an association, he argues. For example, Millwall’s owner comes from Boston and Millwall could play Bournemouth there.
