Quote: Buggo "Its all part of doing business.
If England can not sell enough tickets to cover the costs then why bother it seems.
What are we talking about around $70k Australian for airfares and a couple of nights accommodation.
Maybe its time to give up.'"
Not give up Buggo. But your figures are way under what it costs.
Even JB saying players are on 200-700k is over the top for these invididuals.
Getting an airline to sponsor them for example, will save perhaps the greatest cost. Taking only 25 people for a one off test. It's amazing how many people help out other countries staff with their time and facilities and the like.
Can't see it happening, more of a League Freak, head in the clouds story again, but never say never.
