Leeds have already shot their load on twitter.
So a 8pm kick off Australian time means a 9am on a Friday start in the UK.

Awaiting the club to confirm a beam back for the game now, £5/£10 pp. they’d definitely sell I think. |

They'd sell much better on a Saturday or Sunday when most people aren't at work. Hosting Friday just adds to how pointless this game is, if Leeds do somehow manage to win and give SL a shot in the arm then a large proportion of your target audience won't even see it. |

Not got a lot of time off work?
Here's he best deal at the moment for £700
Leave Manchester at 13:10 on Wednesday, lay up in Dubai for 2.5 hours and arrive in Melbourne at 23:20 on Thursday night
Returns from Tullamarine at 06:00 on Saturday morning and back in Manchester at 07:00 on Sunday with a rather long 13 hour lay up in Dubai.
That's available on Skyscanner right now and probably won't be there for that long.

Im considering flying Sat before landing Sunday with game on the Friday night and flying back the following day. Flights £650 on Skyscanner.
I do similar each year to go watch NFL in America.
Not sure if i will do it but certainly thinking about it.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Best part of 48 hours in cattle class for a meaningless friendly - you really have to be committed

You can look at it as a meaningless friendly or you can look at it as a great holiday and a chance to see an amazing city like Melbourne which will give memories for a lifetime.
The choice is upto you. |

Yeah, probably and it could be worth getting a hotel at the airport for the Thursday night. Given your check in for the return flight would be 3am in Melbourne you might as well. There is also a 24 hours bus from the Airport into town as well see www.skybus.com.au for more details.
There is a better one stop deal for £708 on Skyscanner right now with better transfer times
Leave Manchester 13:10 on Wednesday, 2:35 lay up at DXB and arrive Melbourne 23:20 on Thursday night
Leave Melbourne at 06:00 Saturday, 1:35 lay up at DXB and back in Manchester at 18:40 on Saturday night.
I don't think you will get better flights or deal than that for such a short space of time. |

I’ve booked with Purple Travel. £1025 flights and hotel, thought it was a great price for 7 nights.

If you are going to do what Matt is suggesting you will spend more time in Dubai airport than Melbourne.
Having been to Melbourne it is a great city a cross of old Victorian/European - great bars out of town great food in South Yarra, St Kilder , Trams, Great Ocean Road etc. and only an hours flight to Sydney.
If you are going for a week maybe - its a long way to go for just a week never mind a long weekend but as you say the choice is upto you |
