From a purely selfish viewpoint Australia would be good, and more specifically Perth would be better ! Fulham and Wolves managed it last year so why not us ? Although ME Bank Stadium isn’t quite in the league of the San Siro……….
The Ashes and The Latics in one year. My sporting re-education of the Colonials would be almost complete (they still call the league table “The EPL Ladder”……..).
do all the JCL’s sit in the glory stand by any chance ian ?
if it was possible do you think i can talk latics into making it a mid-season around december,and i will be able to come and watch.
I have played at the Members Equity Stadium (Rugby League) and the place is brilliant. I also watched Perth Glory there and there fans are quite funny and give it the big one from the shed!!!!
A trip to the USA or Australia would be good.
I doubt we’ll travel THAT far.
I think somewhere in Europe will be our destination, for a training camp and a couple of games, followed by some lower level opposition games over here. It would be nice to play one ‘prestigious’ home friendly, in order to ‘whet’ the appetite for the new season.
Also, I have always believed that when you play better quality opposition, it has you ‘upping’ your game, because you are playing against a decent side. I really believe that you can benefit more from a game where you get beat 3-0 against a top quality side, rather than hammering a League 2 side, 4-0. For the players having to raise their game, it can put them in good stead for playing a first league game of the season, the following week.
Real Madrid played at Shamrock Rovers, last summer, so I don’t see why we can’t land a top side as opponents. Ok, so they will want paying, but hopefully there would be a decent crowd.

And now that they’ve signed Robbie Fowler for next season they might well get them. It’ll be a sea of red shirts and shellsuits……….
Get your travel agent hat on and sort it out ! Already got my WACA Membership sorted for the Ashes………

It’s a wonderful pitch but when it’s 38 degrees it’s not too enjoyable. You’re right, The Shed is a scary place. As scary as Mothercare……..
