I really get the impression, and I hope that I'm wrong, that the club doesn't really want our fans to attend pre-season matches abroad and make it tricky as possible for us to make it with such short notice.
I can understand that if that's the case if the players/management want some privacy I just think they should be a bit more honest about it and have it played behind closed doors.
Seems like I read their minds and they read my post!
