I'm sure the home fans are delighted with that

Clever idea from a very successful business. Would be a bit strange if it happened though, unfair on other sides and fans.

They changed an iconic kit to flog a few more shirts in the US. They aren't going to give a toss about kick off times.
Tradition is dead in football. It's all about the money.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

So piss off your local fanbase to cater for billions of people in Asia who'll probably never set foot in your stadium.
It's all about TV money and selling millions of replica shirts these days. The same replica shirts that will probably be made for next to nothing in Asian sweatshops and then sold back to them at a x50 markup.

My level of outrage is directly proportional to what they mean by "early" kick off?
Earlier than the standard one of 19h45 by a couple of hours - not a massive deal I guess. But to be a worthwhile shift to be appealing to the Asian market, I imagine you'll be looking at around midday or something Italian time, which would be a piss take.

English Premier League matches with a 3:00 PM kick off have a big advantage in the Middle East and South Asia as compared to evening matches in Italy and Spain.

Utterly depressing; it's why I rarely watch non-Scottish footie. Very hair shirt but i'd happily go along to see Bonnyrigg before Juve or Spurs etc etc.

I'm sure their fans will be happy enough if the revenue increases to the extent they can match the EPL.
There's a lot of people on here who seem to be unhappy that we've no money left in the transfer budget so it's not just the clubs who are interested in getting more revenue.

You'd think these Asian communities would focus on developing their own game...
These big clubs are absolutely soulless.

I believe it's more to do with Americans refusing to but something that looks like a referee's uniform.
