Port Adelaide 2017

[Booney]

Quit while you're behind UK

Was worth a try.

Missing a couple of clubs from the deck, aren't you?

You ( for what you understand ) tell me it's now "cost neutral", that we have both acknowledged, which means it's not costing Port or the AFL money out of their pockets. If it was costing us money, it would be a failure, if it's not costing us money it would be a success, wouldn't it?

Yes, you can phone a friend if you need to.

im not the greatest fan of UK, but surely breaking even doesnt automatically guarantee that its a success.

If port breaks even, gold coast makes 500k plus arguably greater sponsorship and tourism opportunities, and both take a hit in terms of onfield performance, surely that would be a net negative for port?

If after all the hard work Kochie and the club has gone too to get this game going, surely if they only break even then that is a fail!
You're not in business to break even.

Anyway, we should get back onto the important stuff.

What will the crowd figure be? The stadium can hold 25,000.

They'd be china fill it I'd imagine.

With good promotion they could get well more than 25,000 given the population, but many would be Shanghaied by the lack of seats.

Beijingo thats a good one

Expect this game to have a real party vibe. Many in attendance will Taiwan on.

If there a little thin on top they like nothing more than wearing their new Taipei

Everything made in China
Except babies, they made in vaChina...

Honest question, are they charging entry fee?
If not, 20K +?
If they are, maybe 5K?

Over 5000 Port people are heading over according to reports from various travel agencies, I'd expect a couple of thousand GC people to do the same.

Ex-pats from Hong Kong, Japan etc. The stadium will fill and I'd think a few thousand Chinese will be in.

The game is being televised live into several Chinese TV stations too.

5000 people?
Power supporters know China isn't anywhere near Port Augusta don't they?
Can't see that many shelling out that much too fly to China IMO

[whufc]

Considering their average home crowd attendance last year was 40 000 to say in 1 in 8 of them have booked to go to China seems slightly inflated

We are going to China in June, got flights for $290 return from Sydney and believe they were offering them for about $500 from Adelaide. To put that in comparison it cost me $520 last year to go to the Gold Coast and watch Essendon play.

WOW I didn't realise they were so cheap.
5000 still seems a stretch though to me.
