AFC Cup

[Archie]

No cup final in the world is ever a 2 leg series, and this is no different. So we have to adapt quickly and play as best as we can and hope for the trophy

In Europe yeah but that’s because it’s such a small continent which makes travel not so much of a problem

Anyone heard of any tours, have a burning desire to discover Oman.

Very, very pricey. $2800 for flights 😂

You can get cheaper flights also suggests you can arrange you own.

I've heard it's actually really really nice, not as trashy as Dubai, more history and nature, locals are pleasant.

Yeah I did some reading when the location was announced and seems like a nice place. Very tempted as these opportunities don’t come around very often.

Thank you as I’m not on FB

I just booked my own trip, could stay at same hotel and sort own transfers, etc for a 1/3 of the price and used frequent flyer points for flights.

Looks like a well priced tour tbh.

I thought so too

Just looked at the price of flights. Won't be able to make it. Would hate to think of the financial burden on the club to compete in this comp (I know we get subsidies from AFC but I doubt that would cover it!) Do you think competing in this comp has cost the club more than the $2.5m potential prize money?

Nah, it was a burden in the pool stage as the travel money was pretty low. Don’t forget we got paid good money to go to Campbelltown and the travel money is a lot better in the later stages. We are probably in the red overall but even the $1m would make it very worthwhile.

Doesn't the prize money go via APL or FA before we get a cut?

Surely the afc cup sponsorship with air asia made atleast the flying part much cheaper for the club.

Haven’t we only used them once and we had to double the flight length to do it?

Yes, Bali United.

No, they get money for travel costs. But yes I've been waiting for dick to tell us it cost 860 million for this comp.

Not as far as I know but I think 5% gets deducted as a mandatory charity donation.

A well priced tour you presumably won't be partaking of?!
