    Inter owner Thohir wants to do away with night-time games

    Erick Thohir has some interesting ideas about Serie A night-time games. Specifically, he wants to put an end to them, or at least to 2045 (1945 GMT) kickoffs, because they're too late for the South-East Asian audience, which is one of his planned avenues of expansion for the club. 

    This, at least, is what he told the League in a meeting over rendering the Italian game more marketable to a global audience. His other idea was to play the first game of the season outside of Italy. 

    Thohir's plan for the evening games? They should be no later than 1800 (1700 GMT). The consequent hike in the sale of TV rights could make all the difference.
