maybe its club sussing out the viability of a 39th premier game abroad ? would love to go though as its a place i really would like to see, and after visiting the faroe's years ago and loving the stunning beauty of the place and the fantastic locals its high on the list

Its ace mate and as you say absolutely stunning. Great opportunity to visit such a fantastic destination and take in a City game also.
 
I was there to hike about three summers back. Staggeringly beautiful country – one of the most beautiful anywhere I've seen on the planet. Extremely wild. The whole interior of the island is basically a volcanic desert, but you won't be seeing much of that. But it's a very, very weird place to schedule a pre-season match, and yes, it is very pricey indeed. I've just come back from Denmark, and it beats Denmark, which is far from cheap, hands down for cost of living. My advice to anyone would be, you can justify it to yourself if you really make a holiday out of it (and that would presumably be your summer holiday, unless you're a fair bit richer than me…). That is, stay for a week, go down the coast to the hot spring known as the Blue Lagoon, sip a mojito or whatever as you sit in the beautiful hot water, telling yourself that this is doing your aching bones good, get around the country as best you can (there's only one real tarmacced road going right round the coast), appreciate the girls from Reykjavik (some of them are absolute stunners) etc., etc. In other words, make a real trip of it. Otherwise, just for the match, I'd say it's difficult to justify. Well, I wouldn't go just for that.
 
i think its a ridiculous place to play a friendly against another prem side.. how can a normal working guy afford to go watch that ?
I don't think any pre season friendly had anything to do with 'a normal working guy'. Won't even enter into the thought process of the club.
