At €60 a ticket, they would want to have a good time. But it's great that the team can go anywhere in the world, be it a short 20 minute hop to Lansdowne Road or a 20 hour flight to the far end of Australia, and get a full house just by showing up.
These games fall apart once the subs start coming on, although I liked the Audi Cup format, where subs were restricted to certain times of the game, rather than every 5 minutes of the second half.
6 wins, 2 draws, and a trophy suggests a good pre season, and yes it's better to go into the season with it than not. But now the real work begins, and we have to hit the ground running in London and Hoffenheim, before we get home for our first home game of the season.
