No training camp in Austria next July. Instead the team is coming to Sydney to play my other team - the Wanderers - as well as Sydney FC, aka the Smurfs.

Woo hoo

Yep article originally said next July, now edited to July 2017.
Wow, fuck yes! Think I might fly for this.
Plenty of time to think about that decision though 😆
Somewhere alert Wenger he's heading into the lion's den.

My thoughts exactly Gazz- What a way to start a new era, things are looking up already! 😃
Biggus finally gets his chance to boo Wenger in person! 😃
Awesome. Definitely going to head over for this. Been hoping we would do a tour to this part of the world with so many other clubs having done it in the last few years. Glad it's 2017 too. Having just done a big trip to the US I don't think we could have done it next year but it's definitely realistic for 2017. Being a non Euro/World Cup year should mean most of the squad would be involved too.

But why are they only going to Sydney why not Melbourne.....

Because Melbourne is shit.....
Heh, not really.
We should organise a meeting at one of the games.

And it seems Arsenal have a partnership with Tourism NSW.

Okay.......
Fuck Kroenke! Fuck Gazidis! Fuck Sir Chips! Fuck Wenger!
Sorry Biggus - just some Sydney Melbourne bantz.
Yeah I know mate, I'm kind of an outsider everywhere.
It's all about Perth lads.
Ok even I don't believe that.

Would definitely be keen for that. Can't wait for this. Being the middle of winter, even though it wouldn't get that cold in Sydney I assume it should be the cheapest time of year to go there in terms of flights/accommodation etc which makes it much more doable.
I reckon of the two the Wanderers game will be the best to go to. Their nutty fans should make it a really good atmosphere
