Channings 2012/13

We've had 4 fantastic tours over the past 5 years. But with pressures relating to work, girlfriend, finance, new friendships etc, can you see yourself realistically coming on a future tour?

• Yes absolutely. In fact I'd be devastated if we never went on another one
• I can, but realistically only if conditions were ideal. It doesn't come as a huge priority any more, but if one were organised in the next 15-18 months, I'd sincerely put my chances of attending at 30-60%
• Unfortunately I don't think it's plausible in the next 3-4 years, due to various factors. Would never rule out something in the much longer-term though
• To be honest, I didn't love the last tour I went on. I've moved on - you'll have to continue without me.

There are aspirations to have a tour in 2012 or 2013. If the finance, timings and location were right, when might you expect you'd be able to attend?

Please select all that apply.

• May/June 2012
• late August/September 2012 - in the month or two after the Olympics
• early January 2013
• February-March 2013

How long would you be prepared to go for?

Please select all that apply.

• I think the existing model is superb. Wednesday night/thurs morning until sunday evening is a tried and tested winner
• I'd be prepared to stretch to an extra day off of work. ie 3 days off - (tuesday night/wed morning til sunday evening)
• If the occasion and location was right, I would honestly stretch to a week off, spending 6-8 nights

How important a factor might finance be in your decision to come on tour?

• Not at all. As long as things were well costed, a trip whose basic costs were up to £750 would still be worth it.
• A little bit. I don't think an intercontinental trip, where costs exceeded £500 before booze/food, would be within my budget for the next 2 years. Anything else would be fine
• Quite a lot. I think I could only stretch to the kind of experience we've had before, where costs are £180-250 before expenses
• Massively. I'm saving/skint. It's a budget trip (to Dublin, Edinburgh or Paris) or nothing for me.

Which of these potential locations whets your appetite for a tour destination? (choose up to three)

Please select all that apply.

• Kenya - safari, Africa and seeing Meeraj would all be priceless
• Lisbon - sophisticated European capital, with options for golf, sand and sea
• Middle East peace tour - games versus Israeli and Palestinian teams, plus beach/historic sights options
• Istanbul - truly incredible city, surprisingly cheap. might get a game versus galatasaray under 18s
• Croatia/Slovenia - beautiful places, very hospitable people, good football options. in winter, could throw in a day or two of skiing.
• Valencia - Europe's most under-rated city. could match barcelona 09

Would any of the following act as motivating factors for coming on a future tour? (choose all that apply)

Please select all that apply.

• Potential to raise money for charity, raise awareness for a good cause, or get a good scoop (Welham-Welham)
• A location where my girlfriend would consider coming out to join me after the tour for a few days/second week.
• Introducing other activities besides football into the equation, especially as we're too injured to play much any more. Introducing some planned sightseeing, watersports, or cricket into the mix would be good.
