Reds on tour

Last updated : 08 February 2008 By Adam Bryant
Plans for an international round of games have been approved by the clubs in principle, with America and the Far East likely locations for the tour.

It would mean 10 competitive fixtures will be hosted in five major cities over one weekend.

The extra round would begin in January 2010/11, and would be in addition to the 38 home and away matches each of the 20 clubs currently play.

The games will be played over one weekend, depending on the choice of the five host cities, and coud see supporters sitting at home and watching all the games one after the other until Sunday night.
