The Lilywhites are really racking up the miles this summer. Tottenham’s pre-season tour will see them travel further than nine Premier League clubs combined this summer.

We're a huge club. We now have international fans.

United doing the most miles doesn't surprise me. We're 2nd only to them which is testament to how far Levy has brought us.

Doesn't stack up that club size has a direct correlation to distance traveled.
Wolves - 12.5k miles?
Wet Spam 13k miles? No one outside east london has heard of them
Southampton - 12k Miles? Le Tiss hasn't wowed fans for 20 years
Lolerpool, the European Champions - SIX TIIIIIIIIMES MATE - 8k miles?
Leicester Shitty, recent premier league champions - tripe digits?

Just seems random and based on what the club PA could be bothered to arrange.

What a great contribution to our carbon footprint.
I get why, but frankly it's insane.

I'm reliably informed Wet Spam, Newcastle and Shitty are all on the same tour, hence why their distances are so similar

Won't be any different to what many of them will be doing for holidays anyway and it's not like they will go cattle class.

Flying always impacts the body but being able to lay down and sleep, as I expect they will be able to, must make a massive difference

This.

Modern day travel is far less stressful than years gone buy. They will be pampered beyond belief.

The biggest thing is the number of games played. It looks like it will only be 4 games which iirc is less than previous seasons.

I remember the days the club used to come to Ireland. Saw Darren Anderton's debut against Portadown if my memory serves me right.
