Setting off there tomorrow along with many others.
Reading some of the negative posts on here about the tournament maybe we shouldn't bother.
So most of us may not have heard of some of the teams in the competition, but they have got there by winning their various tournaments from around the world, and it's a big deal to most of them.
The title of being called the "best club side in the world" is something the club want, and it's the first time they've had the opportunity to do it.
This tournament will only get bigger in the future. As someone mentioned earlier, that winning it could give the team and club a real boost.
So hopefully it all goes well in the land of sand, and we bring another trophy back with us.

Safe journey too the travelling blues.

Enjoy!

Ignore the dickheads mate it's a trophy well worth winning, I'd loved to have been able to go myself. I'm sure you and all the blues lucky enough to be going will have a great time.
It was the same attitude from some with the super cup, I managed to get to that and had a fantastic time in Athens.

They have reds in their name which automatically labels them as the Japanese rags.

They have played united in friendlies before and like to think they are close.

How is this going to help our stuttering PL form? Complete waste of time but I hope those of you making the trip have an enjoyable time.

It is not a waste of time it was/is a major trophy when Rags or dippers are after it.

Not even Xmas yet and the chair kickers are out. In week 17 we have only achieved 1 or 2 more points over the last 4 seasons at this stage, and we won the title on each occasion.

We're playing in the competition as a consequence of winning the biggest club cup in the world therefore it isn't a waste of time.

I bet the rags and dippers wished they were playing in it as it means that you have won the Champions League .
