I've heard part of the problem with selling Vik to Sporting is they objected to paying the £5.99 delivery charge. We're now going to drop him off for free to get the deal over the line.

I heard it was because the contract had been printed out in black and white, not colour.

Frustratingly about these trips they always seem to be shrouded in secrecy, they didn’t announce they were playing in Spain last season till about 2 weeks before

The cynic in me suggests MR doesn’t really like the thought of loads going over

Well that’s poor then, happy to plead with them to buy season tickets but when there’s no financial incentive for them they aren’t bothered about the fans being there

Fans want to go and watch their club play - What a shock

I’m conveniently in Albufeira anyway on the date the game is supposedly taking place and will get a taxi over to the match, if that’s okay with you?

If we end up playing in Portugal, I'd love to go out there and I'm sure many others would as well. Flights and accommodation are cheap as chips, beautiful country, good weather etc. Great destination for a tour.

You answered yourself in your first post. Robins doesn't want many there. Plus it could be played at a facility with no room for fans.

Cos it's a pre-season training camp. It's about hard work and getting the players fit. They will want as few distractions and interruptions as possible to follow the programme they want the players to complete and there will be very little dead time in it.

No - it’s a warm weather training with a match at a neutral venue and don’t see why it’s a problem if people turn up like they do to every other pre season game

The 13th but don’t take that as gospel just what I heard through the grapevine

If any City fans plan on going to Albufeira for the trip I’d be more than happy to split a taxi to and from the match by the way

Do you know what stadium any games are being played at? I'm sure there are others but the only one I can think of is the one just outside Faro.

Games being played behind closed doors. Looks like it will be another ‘open training session’ pre season tour

Before Covid, 2019 I think, a mate of mine followed Oxford for pre-season to Portugal. There were quite a few fans there. The club invited them for an afternoon kick-about with the team and organised a BBQ for all afterwards.
That's how to look after your fans.

To be fair, there's a difference between catering for a few dozen Oxford fans and potentially a couple of hundred Cov rocking up.

If its the Algarve then the training base will almost certainly be Brown's in Vilamoura.

There are several grounds along the Algarve but the most likely would be Estadio Algarve which has the best surface and is a smart new stadium about 5 miles from the airport.
