Thai powerhouse Muangthong United will train at Myers Reserve on Thursday and possibly Friday in preparation for its match against Melbourne Victory at Kardinia Park on Satuday. Muangthong defeated Hanoi 2-0 last weekend and will now take on Victory in a one-off qualifier which will see the winner progress to the Champions League group stages. The club is one of the richest in Thailand and is expected to bring a strong media contingent, which could showcase our facilities in Asia. An interesting point is the order from organisers that it must be a sign free ground, so the sponsors signs will have to be covered up. Cant really see that they would be kicking up a stink in Thailand about Mills Plumbing Services or Celtic Glass, but rules are rules and we dont want a letter from FIFA asking if McDonalds real estate is an approved sponsor, sorry guys. The club has tasted Thai Premier League success three times since being promoted to the top flight in 2009, winning the title in their first appearance in the league. Muangthong are no strangers to the AFC Champions League, having qualified for the group stage in 2013, where they took on China’s Guangzhou Evergrande, who went on to win the title, South Korea’s Jeonbuk
