Does anybody know when and where Barca will be training? Fancied going along to see if Messi is better than Swanson

I believe they arrive tomorrow and will be training in St Andrews. I'm sure they'll be easy to find once you get across there.

And I'll save you the hassle - Swanson is much better.

Does anyone know how the profits are split for the games, obviously Barcelona are paid an appearance fee but i'd be keen to know how much money both Hibs and Utd make from the games.

g9mccle -

Both these games are actually being run by and events company called Platinum One (and it is they who have set the ticket prices) so i would assume that from a United point of view anyway that Both Barca and United will be paid appearance fees and United will also be paid for the Hire of Tannadice for the fixture (Ground, Stewarding etc) any "profit" from the ticket sales will then be Platinum One's, I am unsure as to how any profit from catering arrangements, programme sales etc are worked out
So other than their appearance fee ?? and possibly any catering/programme profits, United at least will not make any money from the game
