Both poor IMO.
I would of expected a few more for a Saints crowd but thought Port should should easily get 42-45k

Yeah I agree. I assume the club high rollers will get over there. Not sure about the average Joe supporter?

Was at the Port Club last weekend and met quite a few blokes there that were all sorted for their China trip. Several other mates I know are doing the same.

About 4000 average Joe's going over I believe.
I'd definitely go if we were playing over there.
I'll have to settle for India if that goes ahead

That's great news Jim. I was hoping a boardie from here was going. Be interested to hear what they thought of it all.

30 degrees on the weekend and due to the smog people with respiratory problems have been asked to stay indoors. Eade has already stated that a couple of players with mild asthma won't be making the trip over. Will be interesting to see how both sides pull up for the following game, even allowing for the bye

I know about 15 or so that are going. Some mates from the club, some people who sit near me at AO. Not for me though, China not on my bucket list.

Edit - One group I know of fly out Friday morning and get back to Adelaide Tuesday morning. Long way to go for 4 days!
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Ebert and Boak both suffer from asthma, it will be interesting to see what Port does.

Have they done that for visa purposes or just don't have time off work etc?
Most of the big Chinese cities have a 72 hour visa free option where you don't have to go through all the paperwork bullshit and just get an automatic visa on arrival
