Anyone planning to go to the Udinese ‘tournament’? If so any thoughts on best way to get there?

it's a mere 5 (at best) hour train journey from Milan so unless you've got a bit of time to kill I wouldn't take that route.
 
I’m still plotting how I can go missing for 3 days during my family holiday in Greece without raising suspicion. I fly out to Greece 4am tomorrow. I’ve got to pretend everything’s normal and then fly out of Naxos on Friday to get to Udine on Friday night. Piss up with me mates in Udine Saturday. Then get back to Naxos Sunday night without anyone noticing. Most plausible excuse wins a fiver.

A scruffy note left under your door from the „Greek Liberation Army“ demanding a payment of 26 lamb kebaps or they’ll behead you on Sunday evening might do the trick?

Would all of that be any different to any other time you've been abroad though Steve? I reckon they'll be more suspicious if you don't go missing for a night or two and return canned up.

If travelling or reaching the stadium by car, please be aware that Saturday is the start of Holiday Season in Italy.

Many will be travelling to the northern borders (for Austria, Switzerland , and towrds Croatia etc..) and motorways will be very busy and congested.

I'd go for the Walter White "fugue state" excuse Steve. Just return to your hotel naked, sunburned and confused claiming you don't remember anything.
 
I can be frustrated with lack of transfer business but we are in a much better position compared to last season
Scored 9 goals in 5 pre season games compared to 1 in 7 last summer
A Very good head coach in place
CHO and Murillo back in full training by the looks of it.
The signings last summer are getting a full pre season this summer.

Leave a copy of Michael Mosley's hiking in the Greek Countryside. That should buy you a few days and they'll be that relieved when you return, that you won't be in the doghouse.
 
Will Steve have to pay for the search and rescue helicopter, which will likely be hovering over his taverna as he is necking the ice cold beers? (disclaimer : There is no "beer" in that area of Italy - I nearly died of thirst when cyclo-touring there.
