England and Wales........ but if tele counts then probably about 20 (and we're not on tele that often)

Didn't we tour Southern Ireland in a series of 'friendlies' early 2000's, I must have been smashed the whole time because I can barely remember any of the matches except for an ill tempered game which got abandoned along with the rest of the tour, must have been fun though
yes, 2001, the match at Longford was abandoned because the pitch was like a cow field and there was no ref ...... very Irish. We missed a match as got the fixtures wrong, but it was a lot of fun, really is another planet over there.

It was Minsk that I had meant. I remember Nelson talking about it, a while back.

Why bother going to a different country when you can watch them down the road?
Stupid.

for fun? And support?
I've just remembered we had a picnic by the side of the road near LeHavre when a coach load of little Albion fans went passed. They all stuck their fingers up at us cos they thought we were French

Not in Surrey
England, Wales and France. I traveled to Ireland circa 2006 for a friendly vs Athlone however due to a delayed flight I never made the match

Russia was apparently a great tour. Notable as jock and a player (may have been budgie or Westy bromage) were lifted by the Moscow police for trying to sell shell suits to the locals.
A member of the travelling media who was a fluent Russian speaker (john vinicombe) was required to act as an interpreter and obtain the players' release.

In July 1986 British Caledonian Airways (in conjunction with American Express) organised a trip to Hong Kong for the Albion where they beat top local side Seiko.
Looking on Wikipedia, Seiko folded after the 1985-86 season, so maybe this was one of their last ever fixtures?

That same fate has applied to a fair few rival Championship managers after we've beaten their side in recent years too.
Cheers for the info, had no idea that had occurred.
Hope one day they can head further SE and make it to Oz - Tony has some major connections with this country so not out of the realms of possibility I keep telling myself.
