We've always fancied going to Hong Kong, so when the chance of seing the lads in action there came along, it was too good an opportunity to miss. Can't believe frickin' Blackburn got the invite too, but hey ho. If you see a Lichfield Villains banner on the TV, that'll be us.We're going. Been persuaded by Jon's sister who lives on Lamma Island and works in HK. I'm in denial as I can't stand the thought of flying for so many hours. Only ever flown for 4 hours before. Help!

The HKFA put on an excellent tournament in 2007 and we are supremely confident they will repeat that success."The Hong Kong Stadium is a wonderful facility and, like last time, we hope to see it filled with those fans in East Asia that follow the Barclays Premier League week-in week-out.
