Sounds like a good trip to go on, quick check and Eurotunnel very expensive that weekend and Eurostar quite hefty too.

Fucking rip-off. It's a disgrace how our poorer fans are expected to fork that out for a pre-season friendly.

They had the choice of a better price if they booked early, the club don't offer that option.

And a Football Club is not and should not be run like an Airline

Hmm! Where do you pay inflated prices for a service where you have to get there fairly early, be searched, have to put up with restrictions on what you take on your person, where you get minimal leg room, are potentially surrounded by arseholes who might make you get up every ten minutes or so to let them past, where they serve you expensive, shitty food and warmish piss and the the whole two hour experience often makes you sick and you want to rush away as soon as it comes to a halt?

Anyone trying to leave a flight early is definitely a wanker.

Thinking out loud, but wouldn't it be good if they switched the annual Walsall game to Villa Park but give them the proceeds.  They get more money while more Villa fans get to see Carlos and Kamara as I imagine demand will be quite high given the window so far.
