ILoveLamp 270 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Indeed. Glad the club made the right decision rather than flog the players to death with all those long distance travels.On the other hand, read a piece in Daily Mirror the other day stating that we'll be heading to Asia again next summer.It's not sucha big deal as there isn't a WC so players can get their holidays in before the tour starts, and not be already knackered arriving for preseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just saying it.OK, I mis-interpreted the 'On the other hand' in your sentence.Wasn't having a go or anything, just think it makes a lot of sense the way the club have done it to not do a big tour this year, whereas next year it won't be a problem.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think this preseason is far more crazy than we ever did, no? Travelling every 2 days, and then you have a match for every 2-3 days. I will be surprised if we could perform consistently, to be honest.

Will be better for pre season next year RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the boys get a good pre-season under their belts then who cares, right? And they will playing against some decent opponents for a change rather than an mickey mouse xi.

samzilla 517 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 no west coast games again? i wasn't able to go to the game against the sounders a few years ago and wanted to so bad. if it's anywhere near seattle or portland i can totally make it, and would knock one item off my bucket list.

Popular Post! iseah100 5,612 Posted April 15, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 15, 2015 What a load of fucking shite. Do the pre-season tour somewhere closer. Why? You live in England, it's easier for you to go to a game than people over here. This is likely one of the few times I'll ever see us play live. darrus, Tautvix, thekid9 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely one of the few times I'll ever see us play live.Its nothing to do with that. All the travelling, it has an effect on the players, its pointless really, all it is is a money gainer for the club we can play top teams at home or in more ideal locations in Europe or even in England which doesn't have as much of a toll on players due to travelling. Also I live in Scotland It doesn't matter where pre-season takes place surely. As long as the boys get a good pre-season under their belts then who cares, right? And they will playing against some decent opponents for a change rather than an mickey mouse xi.Again like I've said above, traveling takes its toll eventually. We can play top teams anywhere, we are Chelsea football club, big teams will always be up for friendlies against us if they are possible. Of course its good for fans who are US based to get a chance to see their team but I think its more for the money. Its ridiculous in my eyes.
