It was cost at least £10k to see seven games if we are bounced around.Personally I'd save yourself for the tournament in the US. I think we're extremely likely to win it in December but as an experience it would be worth it in 2025
Do it.Please somebody correct me if I’m wrong but far as I can gather we are guaranteed a semi final slot. No idea when the semi will be played as the final is on a Friday (22 Dec). Also the entire thing is being played in Jeddah. So I’d say the semi is likely to be Mon or Tue?
If the above is true I’m looking at MAN - Jeddah on Sun return on Sat 23 £650 ish
VISA £130
Hotel 6 nights £350
Total £1130
That’s a fair wedge to pay for no beer and not much on offer for tourists. Are shorts allowed or are they classed as disrespectful? And how much is it over there for food/drink? Do they even sell pies? ;-)
I really want to go as a life experience because we’re going to all be dead before we know it. But it’s a lot of money. Will it be worth it?
Just as a point of reference .. wearing one of their typical light cotton robes and being commando underneath is cool, comfortable and fairly liberating [emoji15][emoji23]
With a bit of luck your visit could coincide with a few public stonings, get there early and you could probably take part, but strictly no shorts and tattoos must be covered up.Please somebody correct me if I’m wrong but far as I can gather we are guaranteed a semi final slot.

The 32-team Club World Cup in the USA will be fantastic. The first proper World Cup for clubs and I am sure it will become a very important trophy as the years go forward. Well worth winning and an amazing trip. I think Sheikh Mansour has invested in it hasn't he? I seem to remember it was mentioned a few years ago.Personally I'd save yourself for the tournament in the US.

Yes and Chelsea. They’re the only English teams unless another one wins the next CL.Is this a tournament we’re guaranteed of being in?
Am I right in saying that there may be other English clubs that do eventually participate?Yes and Chelsea. They’re the only English teams unless another one wins the next CL.
Rags and dippers can only qualify if they win it next season.Am I right in saying that there may be other English clubs that do eventually participate?
I seem to remember reading that Europe gets 12 places which will presumably be the most recent CL winners supplemented by the highest amongst UEFA coefficients amongst the rest. Both the rags and dippers may end up qualifying if they have half decent seasons in Europe.
Think there's a maximum number of two clubs per country. Exception would be if there are 3 (or 4) winners from the same country in a four year cycle.Am I right in saying that there may be other English clubs that do eventually participate?

Thanks for the clarification and thanks to @bluesmith too.Think there's a maximum number of two clubs per country. Exception would be if there are 3 (or 4) winners from the same country in a four year cycle.
As I understand it, anyone else from England would have to win it this year or next to qualify.
To be fair - if Liverpool win the Champions League next season, they more than deserve to qualify ;)Rags and dippers can only qualify if they win it next season.
Dippers aint in itRags and dippers can only qualify if they win it next season.
Yes but there is a maximum of two clubs per country unless more than two from the same country win the CL. For example for United to qualify they have to win the next CL because when they go to the coefficients they will miss English clubs out as we already have two participants.Am I right in saying that there may be other English clubs that do eventually participate?
