@WhiteNoise1879 @gerrypimm Jol interview has him saying we have three games in China pre season...

Apparently the interview in the latest issue of Fultime has Jol saying we are playing 3 games in China.

Cue the rumours of us signing some young chinese player.

And don't forget folks, the Chinese middle class is bigger than the population of Western Europe!

I think that that is a really good idea. If we could get a few fans out there (by thrashing a few of there teams, which seems a little weird) then we won't have done ourselves any harm.

So we don't have European football so have decided to tire the players out by going to China? Nice.

Just the prospect of a PL team coming will make it huge, of course Liverpool or Man United would get much larger crowds. Still will be probably more of our "fans" than the home team fans.

As you were - this is not going ahead.

At the time of that interview it was potentially part of the pre-season plan, but has since been removed.

Details regarding any pre-season tours or games still TBC. Will be announced on website as soon as anything is formally agreed.

Nothing confirmed yet but I would imagine it will still be overseas.

Maybe debut the new Oranje strip in Holland??

Well, once the NYC atmosphere has been polluted by PSG, Chelsea, and Real Madrid [and their fans], who would want Fulham to go there?

Don't underestimate the large local Guidos contingent here either. There are more Inter Milan shirts than Jersey Shore ones here  :005:
