I'd rather go to this friendly than all the other friendlies combined.

Malaga are a good team by the way. We could easily be humiliated but it'd be worth it.

Nothing wrong with paying good money to be humiliated.

I'd see it more as a mini-break over watching a football match. I'd imagine you can get access to the ground for next to nothing.

Flights already silly prices for a flipping friendly if flying to Malaga.

Ive been told flying Murcia, Alicante or Madrid is an hour away on train.

Thought about it, realised I've already got that weekend off work, then I realised that my passport has expired, so gutted

More than that, mate. Madrid is about two and a half hours on the high speed train. Flights are usually cheaper into Madrid but then you have to spend about Â£100 or more on a return train ticket. Bus journeys are much cheaper but take a while. Think it's about 7-8 hrs from Madrid to Malaga.

Do Ryanair still fly to Jerez? That's not far away.

For anyone looking to stay somewhere cheap, hostals are the way to go in Spain. They are not hostels but family run hotels which might have few amenities but are always spotless and cheap. Expect to pay about Â£32 a night for a single room or Â£45-50 for a double.

Take a look on www.hostelbookers.com

Or alternatively, I can heartily recommend the Picasso's Corner Hostel. Very cheap, friendly and clean.

Doubt it will be, Sharpy. It's not a game that'll be shunted around at the behest of the Spanish TV channels, I wouldn't have thought. That said, does anyone actually know the usual kick-off times for friendlies in AndalusÃa in August??

Thoroughly looking forward to this game. I can still remember the momentary excitement I felt three years ago when I heard we were playing MÃ¡laga before I realised that I'd be in Spain and MÃ¡laga would be playing at Goodison!
