You cannot be serious!! It seems he is though.
Tonight's Evening Standard reports that Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler believes Football League clubs should follow the top flight's lead and consider playing fixtures abroad. You might need to read that several times. I did.
"I just wonder if there is an argument to take the Football League around the world ..... it has to be worth exploring." he says.
"At Championship level in particular, I think we need to realise that our product is exceptional", he explained.
AFC Wimbledon v Bury in Shanghai in the middle of March probably is a bit of a stretch, but the Lions versus, say, Huddersfield Town would really pull them in I'm sure.
Give me strength. You really couldn't make it up.
This numpty is now on the Football League board. I'm sure he'll get laughed at when he raises this possibility, but I can't even begin to imagine how anybody could think this makes any sense whatsoever, on any level.

He only wants to do it so he can boast Millwall had over 11,000 for a home game!!0

He wants to be able to say, "not only does no one like us in England, but the whole world hates us".7

This is a way of getting us to vote UKIP surely, we would all be up for shutting the borders if it happened to be when Millwall & its fans were out of the country.1

"Let play a broad" say millwall boss?
Kim Little, the Scottish international and ex Arsenal forward would be a great choice as she is the most
gifted female player in Britan and is a blond bombshell as well.
Too good for Millwall thou, she can play along side Igor.3 -
Send Millwall to Serbia to play.....out of the frying pan and into the fire. They can learn what proper racist hooligans are like0

I see Millwall will be wearing a special kit against Brentford to mark 100 years since the start of WW1
All proceeds go to Headley Court. Fair play.0 -
V Derby maybe but v Birmingham and Huddersfield they didn't look interested.Sparrows Lane Lion said:
