Where are we going on our pre season tour this year?

{Ed007's Note - Prenton Park (22nd July), Bangkok to play Leicester (27th July) and 3rd August v Porto at Goodison for Leon Osman's testimonial.}

Totally don't get the Bangkok game. well we all know its to whore our club out there


but with such a big and long season ahead of us wouldn't it make better sense have our pre season games closer to home instead of wasting 3 or more days traveling and recovering

We want to be a world club, with worldwide supporters, travelling is part of that to gain exposure, there are many Everton supporters out here, but we want many more too. Seeing them in a live game can only help that, we are also sponsored by Chang Beer, so it is part of that too, so we are not "WHORING AROUND".
Think big or we will not grow, and growing brings in MORE money, so think before you say it's a waste of time.

I agree with some of that BKK but there is a time and place for that


not a few weeks before our biggest and most crucial season in years.

we have a chance to make the top 4 this year if we push on on what we did last season

but when around 1/4 of the team has been at the world cup, then on to their home land, then back to us, then to Bangkok and back.

sorry no it's a stupid idea

So when is the time and the place? T HE CLUB HAS AN OBLIGATION TO IT'S SPONSORS. We will be playing most Thursdays and travelling every other game. then play SUNDAYS is that going to spoil 4th place. Think bigger p[lease, or we will never be a world club team.

BackoftheNet, our players are extremely well drilled and extremely fit athletes. I would be very worried if they couldn't recover from a trip to Thailand which is 2 weeks before the first game of the season. I would think even I would be able to recover from that within a week and I am nowhere near as fit as out players. Also, Bkk Pete, you're spot on about us needing to gain exposure.

As an expat I'll also be at the game in BKK with my 6yr old son. I can't wait! However, there is no point worrying about global exposure when you can't buy a shirt anywhere. As long as kitbag prevent the sale of our football strips any exposure is worthless.

Totally agree with pod.I'm Irish and have to use the web to get the kit.its ridiculous when I could walk into a sports shop and can pick up any other teams jersey.when does the deal with kitbag end?
