Doubt it mate. That link has gone now. 3 years since we last played them pre-season, July 2010 was the last time.

I'm happy with what's been announced. Saturday July 20th is still empty so probably one more game to be announced.

Hans tours are doing coaches for all 3 matches, i dunno if i could coach it to Austria, but the flights seem expensive tho.

Coach to Austria - now that is mad! Would take a full 24 hours just to get there. You'd probably have to leave the Friday morning.

I once went on Hans coach to Germany (and back) for the Nuremberg game in 2007. Hell of an experience, brilliant time overall.

You have to travel to Europe by coach at least once, just to experience it (the good and the bad!)

Sorry my mistake, yeah, the Friday morning I meant. Gone back and edited it now.

I remember for the Nuremberg game, it was something like £100 return on the coach, which was a pretty good deal, compared to £300/£400 for flights etc. I was a skint student at the time, so funds were short.

Is this not the most totally underwhelming thread title, like, ever?

We are playing Juventus and possibly Real Madrid and the Milan clubs a few weeks later.

Take the good with the bad!
