Balotelli and Silva played in the Euro 2012 final, so I'm guessing their pre season will start pretty late, so I reckon there is a slight chance they will play.
For the England and France lads, their Euros finished a week earlier, so I would expect their pre season would start a week earlier. They will probably play in China and Malaysia (so not at BP).
Plenty of the City reserves will be on the tour, so we will be left with City's reserve reserves, and maybe the odd first teamer.
How much will it cost to watch when we play City reserves in the Manchester Senior Cup? Might as well just go to that.
I'd have definitley gone if I could use my free ST ticket, because I can't make the Huddersfield game (thankfully). But now that it will cost me £15 to watch a half paced game against the reserves of some club I can't stand, I don't think I'll bother. Unless of course, we are guaranteed to see some damn good players (and I mean David Silva.)
Something wrong though when a friendly costs more than a competitive game.
