Burgess could play Friday... on 09:42 - Mar 26 with 1199 views | iamipswich | I think someone delved deep into the flight schedules and worked out that he couldn't get back to the UK until Thursday at the earliest anyway. Fully expect Fridge to start. | |

Yep, with timezones/schedules etc, he won't be landing on a commercial flight until the early hours of Thursday. And we won't be paying £180k+ to charter a plane for him. | | | |

No but all the clubs with players out there may have chipped in for one? | |

It was moved because of the crisis in the Middle East. It's a shame it wasn't moved to a neutral venue... like Portman Road or Ewood Park. | |

He'll fly out weds morning (no reason stay any longer) leave Sydney early and he'll be back in the uk (being 11hrs ahead) weds eve (uk time) He has a few days to get sorted. I'm just saying it's perfectly feasible it's whether he is fresh enough of course. | |

..then travel up to Blackburn to catch up with the squad! His body clock will be all over the place. I doubt he'll play tbh . If he did, what state will he be in for a tough game ? Not ideal preparation however you want to view it . | |

There is only one commercial flight that gets you back to the UK in one calendar day. Leaves Sydney at 6am (so a 3am check-in) and then lands at 18:20 into London assuming you make your 1hr connection in Dubai. So it could be done, I just can't see that he would do it and leave himself jaded. I'd rather we use Edmundson Friday and Burgess is back vs Saints. | | | |
