The usual suspects in China, Hong Kong, Australia and the like. The strangest is probably Everton travelling to Tanzania to take on Gor Mahia FC.

Gor Mahia are Kenyan, unless there's another one in Tanzania.

They love their Prem footy in Africa.

We're in the middle of a set of documentaries on people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. Every 3rd person in them is wearing an Arsenal or a Chelsea shirt.

I'm almost certain they love it more than Asians, there just isn't as much MONETISATION to be had there.

How much is that?

I might go.

They only went on sale to Leeds season ticket holders (Max 1 per ST holder otherwise I'd purchase you one) But was £10 and I think Guisley's allocation was sold out pretty early too.
