There was a pre-season match against West Ham in Australia this morning...

 

[Orifice]

In Australia.
As you do.

 

[Joe_Fox]

In Australia.
As you do.

There's worse places you could go.

 

[City Fan]

Pre season matches in Australia, without the TV revenue benefits.

Waste of money

Pre season matches in Australia, without the TV revenue benefits.

It was part of a tournament, televised in Australia.

I understand friendlies and pre season tournaments at ridiculous places if it has commercial benefits.

I highly doubt this Susan Whelan vanity project trip does.

 

[Blaarev]

Susan Whelan vanity project? Really?

I highly doubt this Susan Whelan vanity project trip does.

Travel broadens the mind. Plus I'm sure a few weeks down under would be great for the team and help with unity and morale. Plus there certainly would have been some financial reward. Apart from all that, yeah I agree. A complete waste of time.

Plus I'm sure a few weeks down under would be great for the team

Must. Not. Joke.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Must. Not. Joke.

I'm absolutely fine with you, or anyone for that matter, joking. The trouble I have is that I find it very hard to tell when you are joking.

Getting a kind of Inception vibe from this one
