Lots of EPL teams coming out here in recent years as it is a great money spinner.

If Liverpool can do it then why not Leicester.

Wouldn't soccer fans in general be keen to get along and watch a game featuring the EPL champions?

Reckon it would be slightly cheaper than say a Manchester United or Liverpool to get them here.


It would have to be billed as the Champions of England v the Champions of Australia.

Anyway it probably wouldn't matter to me I went to the Liverpool game as a casual fan wanting to see the players from one of the top leagues in the world. I wasn't disappointed.

I'd want to hope that they don't charge as much as the Liverpool match. What a rip off that was especially as i dislike Liverpool.

How can it be a ripoff when they sold out the stadium.

Some people choose to pay anything to watch a match/event etc, there are Some who won't pay any price.
I didn't pay the exuberant prices I was quoted by ticketek for port-geelong. Money isn't an issue but I didn't see the value.

That's how economics works though. If they can fill the stadium charging $1000 they would do it

The Kings of the Commonwealth maybe?
If Adelaide somehow miraculously won, could that be incentive enough for such a match to be featured again?
I definitely agree in any case. Give the winner a title of some sort that belongs to them for a year. Make it a little more than just a friendly.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
