ACL 09 - the who, the what, the where.

[mariners4ever]

I was aware of the match dates. Who we're playing and when would be helpful!!!

+1

Who is doing Korea or Japan??  I must admit I havn't even looked at flights for those games......

Qantas has Sydney to Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul all starting at $1750 return on there route map. depends on actual dates of the games I guess.

you'll get it much cheaper if you have the nerve to hold out till one month before the game

There's an Air China flight, return to Beijing in March for $975.  F*CK ME, GET IN ON THAT!!!!!

Anything cheap is good. With work and money, I might not be going away for as long as you guys now.

Can sort out a cheap return flight just to Beijing if you'd like...... you won't get the Bangkok madness, but you save anywhere up to $800, and you still get the game.

Hopefully it wont come to that, but yes it might have to be

Jetstar return to Tokyo for about $1000 with taxes.

Yeah but given there is every possibility I will do Sydney - away game - Europe - next away game - Sydney I may not have that luxury.

for those interested Kawasaki frontale is in the greater Tokyo area so will be reasonably easy to get to.

Your game going deathstar

Although I thought Jetstar only flew to osaka

Well there you go, looking at march you could get return to Tokyo for $750 +taxes.

Not too much of their fans on Youtube with English named vids, if you click through you can see them by their unique light blue colour.

To counter:
- Roma are having a deeply disappointing season in Serie A.
- Roma beat Chelsea.
- Portsmouth are a mid-table Premiership side
- Portsmouth drew with Milan.

etc etc

Gamba finished 8th or so in the J-League and still won the ACL. In the J-League, the way they play football is different to the teams they encounter in Asia and this may explain a few things- that, and the fact the J-League is ridiculously good in terms of depth of teams and talent.

wonder how long before we get beseiged by weird arse posts from japanese fans like what happened on the sydney forum
