I am in the same boat. i was going to canada last year but they left it so late to announce that they were actually taking part that the price had doubled. can see the same thing happening here so am not holding out too much hope this time and advise you do the same mate.

I went to canada and booked late as i knew there was another game in the states which they kept under wraps until the last minute,yes it was a fair bit more but was worth it to get both games in.I might be having a gander around china and will work around any games we have.It is mid july i have been informed on another site.

Won't this be dependant on whether we have any European qualifiers (knowing us we won't be in it anyway)? Maybe they'll have to hold off announcing it officially until then. Hope it does happen as I'll be able to terrorise Bobby O again for a couple of weeks. :D

There's tons of places I'd rather be in July than Beijing, but if West Ham are there I will most definitely make the short trip from Chengdu. :raver:

Could be well up for this. Week or two in China, happy days.

Although if the rumours of the teams participating are true, could quite interesting.

Go for it mate! I'm in bog ordinary Loughborough these days. I feel jealous and it's a real shame this didn't happen in my BJ days. I know of at least one forum member who's considering the trip from Blighty, what with that and the feller from Chengdu there'll be a Kumbing together.

Jia You Nimen Langtou!

Ah didn't know that you had relocated back. And to my old university town of Loughborough too, the main local sport there being fighting between students and townies. If the Beijing trip comes off i will see who is around in China and who is travelling and see if we can get something organised.

So Fionn, Romford & his Contingent, BSB1, Sir Robert of Orangeboom & Senior Orangeboom, Big John, Shangahi, blahblahblah, Upton Girlie, nr2iron & I8CHAVS so far...

If we finish seventh we'll join in the third qualifying round, so we'd be playing again by the end of July. Perfect for me, as that's just when my holiday ends! 8-)
