Mike Green 3 Posted 04/06/2013 at 19:33:34 Very good Howard :DWhen you put those together with the US Tournament that all looks pretty good to me. So, that's in about five weeks then?Bring it on! Phil Sammon 4 Posted 04/06/2013 at 20:51:09 I was hoping for a couple of trips to more scenic British locations if I'm honest. Duncan McDine 6 Posted 04/06/2013 at 21:53:16 My summer holiday is now a toss up between California, Vienna, or Blackburn... does anyone have a 3sided coin? Donald Twain 7 Posted 04/06/2013 at 23:43:05 Can't we play Kings landing Rovers ? I fancy going right through the back of their star forward Joffrey and breaking his legs! Liverpool are after him Robert Workman 8 Posted 05/06/2013 at 12:11:34 Finally I will get to see The Blues here in Vienna. I have been waiting for 8 years, hoping that we would be playing here in Champions League or Europa League. Austria Vienna are a strange club. They periodically change their name and they play in purple! Nevertheless they won the Austrian Bundesliga (below Championship level) comfortably this season. I support their hated rivals Rapid Vienna (because of our ECWC success against them in 1985). There is often trouble before, during and after derby matches. Jelavic can expect some stick if he plays, due to his Rapid past. I will be going with an Austria Vienna fan, who wont even speak the "other" teams name! Not even a "greenshite" ("GruenScheisse"), that would be showing too much respect! Those of you who are coming over should try and make a weekend of it. Vienna is a friendly city, with a fantastic public transport system and English is spoken everywhere.
