Despite leaving some 3 hours before the game the Seoul Metro is generally slow with problematic opening and closing door issues and just so many trains to change to get there. However we did get there eventually although were 12 minutes into the first half.
We were watching Anyang FC against Police FC, which is a team consisting of players who are actual employed by the police force so they aren't the most loved team you would imagine.
The game was much akin to A-League standard really. Patchy in places, few moments of sheer brilliance and then some perplexing moments where you had questions that were never really answered or could understand their motives. Anyang must have had the spirit of Perth Glory as they were flat in the first have to level the score at the 70th minute mark and then failing after a counter attack 2 minutes into stoppage time.
Now down to business; the food was again similar to most grounds. You had you assortment of noodles where you then go to the boiling water tank to pour yourself. Flavours were seafood or kimchee style which was rather nice. They varied in levels of spiciness and i like my food with a bit of pep so i went for a moderately spicy noodle cup.
Chocolates and biscuits were on offer too as well as crisps but they weren't very nice. Noodles were 3 dollars, chocolates, biscuits and crisps were 2 dollars. Beers, coffee, tea and cool drinks were on sale too. Beers being 3 dollars for 500mL cans and 2 dollars for non alcoholic beverages.
all in all going to football matches in Korea, be it K-League 1 and K-League 2 matches are very cheap and surprised that people don't go to the games in their area more often. Perhaps it is someone from Perth who is used to expensive stadiums around the country and then to come to venues that are one tenth of the cost is a dream come true for someone from the west. If you are in this part of the footballing world you must get down to watch some football, it will barely make a dent in your pocket.
