There's no point in discussing which is the shorter trip or which makes more sense. None of this is made for the sake of preparation, but purely for marketing and sponsorship purposes. The club makes a lot of money from appearing at all these random places, so Rosell couldn't care less how long the trip to Kuala Lumpur takes.
So Barcelona are now in Israel.
Tomorrow they're gonna have a practice in Bloomfield Stadium in Tel-aviv, Jaffa. 14,000 tickets were given to Palestinian and Israelian kids, 1,000 of them were given to the Israeli Penya of Barcelona. I am now in possession of 7 of these tickets and I couldn't be happier! I took the day of from work and I, with 6 of my friends are going to see the best team in the history of football live in person.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
