I preferred it when we did pre-season at places like Port Vale and Rochdale. Don't hold with travelling all over the world to play these exhibition games.

Nothing definite anyway yet, let's just wait and see. A long way to come for a friendly but will be great to see the Blues over here

Summer tour - Australia with Inter & Real
This has been rumoured for about the last 10 months, but apparently this is a fresh leak:

Edit: on second reading, this sounds like the exact same competition as we were in last season, only moved to Melbourne. Presumably we will play Melbourne City at some point, although maybe not as part of the tournament.

City set for summer tour Down Under
Reports in Australia suggest Manchester City have agreed to tour the country next summer, along with Roberto Mancini's Inter Milan.
Manchester City are to come up against former boss Roberto Mancini and his Inter Milan side in Australia next summer, according to reports from Down Under.
The Blues are also expected to face Real Madrid during the pre-season International Champions Cup tournament in Melbourne from July 18 to 24.
The Blues have been keeping quiet on expectations that they will head to Australia next summer, in order to play a friendly against sister club Melbourne City.
But the Aussie press claims the state government has stumped up 10million dollars to attract the three European clubs.

Wonder if they would pop across the Tasman and play the Phoenix in Wellington - I could easily get a bus load of fans from the Waikato region.Mike N said:I'm sure that they'll be a lot of blues in Oz who'll be delighted with that news.

The Manchester Evening News. I'll pretend I didn't make a thread about this earlier and just post the original story ;)
