Maybe i'm alone in this i don't know, and apologies in advance if something similar has been posted before.
Does anyone think its maybe not such a good idea for us to be travelling half way arounf the world just to play a in a friendly tournament or a few warm up games. Its obviously makes sense financially but thats not really what im getting at. I mean maybe some of you who have been on long haul flights can tell me, but id imagine flying that distance takes it out of you. can't be good for the players to have to fly to the far east... play a few matches and fly back again before the season starts. would you think this is tiring them out for minimal benefit?
an alternative could be to do what the arse have done. Set up a mini tournament nearer home and get some teams to come here. doesn't really have to be at anfield either. we could play it at tranmere or a lower league teams stadium ( like goodison ). Could even link it in with the hjc and make it an annual thing to help bring it a bit of cash for the campaign and maybe raise awareness a bit further.
any opinions?
or am i just pissing in the wind?
