Thank you Adam, don't think I/we would be able to do this again.

I'm also awaiting confirmation from the club before booking anything.

I'd love to go to the PNG game, but I doubt my dates can work out, I could only arrive on 20th Feb.

Yesterday on Wigan TV, Wane stated in an interview that as yet nothing has been confirmed.

Well, if nothing does go ahead!! It's still a trip of a lifetime for me. Stephen has been several times, I haven't, but I don't think I would be able to do this type of holiday again.

I do too, there are ar too many reports from different sources for it not to be.

At the End of Season Dinner, Mr Lenegan stressed that he & the club would be pushing for it to be in OZ!!

Tickets got, but what a palaver???

They must be unreserved seats 'cos it wouldn't let you pick seats!!!

Just got this reply from the club when I enquired about seating.
Seats are allocated automatically when you selected your desired number of tickets and seating area.
Which I think is bad if you have special requirements, disabilities!

Well I've booked my flights and I'll be at the Sydney Football Stadium (to give it its proper name) on February 20.

I'm only going for eight nights cos I haven't got much holiday left and I want to spend a few days with my mate in Dubai on the way back.

I went to Sydney for a week in 2001 and it really is a great city. I can especially recommend the Blue Mountains, a trip to Manly, the walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Four N Twenty Pies and Coopers Pale Ale.

And having travelled to Europe with Everton a dozen or so times, I can honestly say that supporting your team abroad is one of the best sporting experiences.

Has anyone found any decent accommodation? I'm looking for a single room close to the city centre.
