Club World Cup 2025 - Who’s going?

[Impeccable One]

I've been looking at flights but what bothers me is that the details on the City website state that fixtures are subject to change.

Think that’s more of an issue with City’s website rather than there being any chance of those group games being moved.

I see Chelsea are playing in Philadelphia Friday after us on the Weds. surely be a few of them floating around the bars and our game Weds night. Would have went to third roo if I was around the Friday night.

Ok I’m booked up, Philadelphia Monday 16th to Friday 20th. Never been to Philly before.

How much mate and from where ?

How much mate and from where ?

From Dublin direct to Philly. €863 return. Bit on the steep side and might drop a little in January but didn’t want to take the risk of it going higher. Hotels are very reasonably priced in the City.

I priced Boston, New York and New Jersey to see if it would work out cheaper to get a train down to Philadelphia but there was nothing in the price between every route I could find.

Looking forward to it now, been told it’s a fantastic city by friends who’ve travelled there before.

Ye getting similar for me from Manchester thought it’s not direct, I might look again January for sone friends in Maryland so will get the train down to see them as well, hoping to get a baseball game in as well and of course run up the Rocky steps.

and of course run up the Rocky steps.

I went 5 years ago (naturally after another cancelled Morrissey gig) and went to the stairs. At the age of 56, it was a long, slow walk to the top for me!

Dont think I can stretch to the other City games on a financial or physical basis (FOC who hates the sun) but you never know lol.

Do any of our USA based Blues have a good link for booking trains and also one for sourcing hotels, similar to our booking.com?

Trains I just book via Amtrak. In advance they can be quite cheap.
Also try travelling on a bus too. There are a few bus companies operating between NY and Philly.
