Trying to price it up Thursday/Friday - Monday it’s a right pain in the arse! Found flight from Birmingham to Naples then over night ferry to Palermo but getting back is the issue. Anyone found anything decent?

No, looked at Edinburgh to Palermo Ryan Air which does not look bad but then I check trains and its a massive piss take.

Why Brum? Manc to Naples looked cheap enough on Ryan Air but as you say its getting back to Naples on Monday thats the issue as train quite a few hours and looks overnight.

We should do a CFG pre season tournament in Abu Dhabi. Get Sky Sports showing it and sponsored by the Daily Mail. Radio rights to Talkshite and enjoy them trying not to boil their piss whilst a local sponsor offers £100 million prize money.

I remember going to boundary park about 10-12 years ago for a friendly. Was a night game.
Can't remember what team we put out.

July 2012. The 1st team squad were in the Far East on tour but we played players who had returned late from the Euros like Hart, De Jong, Lescott, Clichy, Nasri and Milner. Managed by Lombardo.

We got beat. Obviously.

Think I've probably seen us in as many first team games as friendlies at Oldham (only one I missed was the FA cup loss when it wasn't fit to play).

Remember us winning something like 4-0 on either a rock hard pitch or the plastic, my lad was young at the time but old enough to get his own crisps/pop and managed to miss all the goals.

I haven't.

I think some of the airlines have seen a flurry of activity with people checking prices as they have gone up and are expensive when you add travel by other means such as trains. Might be wrong but it seems that way. Maybe when no one books they could reduce, who knows.

If I do anything it will be Thurs by the very latest and will post on here if I do anything.
Unless they come down a bit I will sack it off I think, have a budget and would love to go but theres a limit.

Amazed the club cant do something, would be great PR for CFG but maybe I'm a dreamer.

The club organise travel to a European game?
Not a fucking prayer.
“Official Travel Partner” = can’t be fucking arsed and we will blame costs blah blah blah.
Were sponsored by one of, if not THE world’s best airline. Yet we can’t get one single plane to Madrid.
