Cast your eyes on these numbers - minimum ticket prices and gate receipts (assuming a sell-out) for pre-season friendlies not involving Villa being played in  SE Asia - and they're all pretty well sold out!!

Liverpool v ManU Bangkok 51,000 capacity, £115. £5.87m

Spurs v K-League team in Seoul 60,000. £95.  £5.64m

Liverpool v Palace. Singapore  55,000. £88, £4.84Mm
Or you can pay £23 for a training session.

Local promoters set these games up - using the veil of some sort of "cup" or "trophy". They hire the venue, pay the teams to fly out, cover all their costs and screw the locals for the privilege of watching what is little more than an exhibition match involving fringe players, upcoming kids and a few first teamers to keep the punters happy

Makes you wonder how much we're being payed for the games in Oz?

A warning about travel to France. We went 2 weeks ago. Our nephew wasn’t allowed on the ferry, his covid pass was valid until November but his last vaccination was 9m4d earlier – limit is 9m. We travelled 8 miles in Portsmouth, ordered a test, picked it up at a shop - £11- he tested in the car, reported result and we sat anxiously waiting until he was given a code for booking. We made the ferry with minutes to spare. Please warn everyone to check the small print re. travel to France.

Just checked my COVID status - I  had my 3rd jab, 8 months before I hopefully travel to France to see the match against Rennes

And now we now longer need to consider why these clubs hawk themselves around the globe - the exposure and merchandise sold at these events i would imagine go directly to the clubs hence their demand for image rights

Just to clear up any confusion the 9 month rule on vaccinations only applies to the initial 2 jabs.
If you’ve had the booster then it doesn’t matter if that was more than 9 months ago.

Sorry I'm more confused now. I had jabs in March and June 2021 and then a booster in December 2021 ie: less than 9 months ago. How could I have had my second jab within the last 9 months ?

Cheers. Just need a match ticket then. And a smooth passage through Amsterdam (flying from Brum via there).

If you watch the U21 games it is, or if you want to watch or re-watch the whole men's games through the season.
