as for watching the All Whites at the stadium the last time i
watched them there they got beat 1-0 by Dunfermline athletic in one
of the worst games ive seen in my life ,mind you the huge 3,000
crowd didn't do much for the atmosphere!
What are the odds of Nelsen staying injury free and actually being
here on Oct 17Th?

Im surprised you ever wanted to watch a football game again after that !
I think Mark Hughes will have more say on whether Neilsen plays against the the mighty Vanautu rather than any "inclination" on the players part ,just the way it is nowadays im afraid.

I hope you guys aren't thinking that you are the only football fans in the country. Bear in mind that when the All Whites came to Christchurch the game had almost no advertising at all and we got more than 10 000 along to that game.
7000...i was there, my first live football game infact.
I thought it was about 1500. Should have played at Newtown.

All the world cup games are during FIFA designated international windows so FIFA rules state that clubs must release players so Mark Hughes has no say. I'm sure he'll let Nelson knows exactly how he feels but he can't stop him.

If felt like only 1500. Good idea about Newtown, the crowd would have been close enough together then to chat to one another which would have helped to pass the time.
So we need 7k to beat that, fair chance I reckon.
A city with 10 times our population.
So for Auckland to win an attendance contest with Wellington we would need to get at least three times the attendance Wellington gets for the coming World Cup qualifiers.
I think you we will get a decent crowd just for the novelty of
seeing Nelsen in a All Whites shirt
All Whites come to town
It looks like Wellington are being rewarded for their support of
the Phoenix with a All Whites game in Oct. Do you think we will get
a crowd similar to phoenix games? Does anyone think Vanuatu will be
easy beats?. What are the odds of Nelsen staying injury free and
actually being here on Oct 17Th?

Did Vanuatu not beat the all whites 4-2 in Australia
the last time they played them, and as for watching the All Whites
at the stadium the last time i watched them there they got beat 1-0
by Dunfermline athletic in one of the worst games ive seen in my
life ,mind you the huge 3,000 crowd didn't do much for the
atmosphere!
Ah these were the days,not like now with your 14,000 crowds ,professional football teams ,singing fans etc,we didnt know how lucky we were then!

Yeah, back in the day, you had the peace and quiet atmosphere at
the stadium, now its full of bloody football fans. How
inconsiderate
Come on, get in there in numbers. Crowds like 81 all over
again. It would be nice to have that atmosphere again.
One thing to note is that the news article has the November dates wrong.
Fiji v NZ is on Nov 17
NZ v Fiji is on Nov 21
Personally, I think all of NZ's home matches should be in
Wellington and that the Fever Zone should remain just that
albeit temporarily re-branded from Yellow.
I think if we can all get down and support the team they will look
at Wellington more as it will riase extra revenue

Fully agree!
7000...i was there, my first live football game infact.
We should try and get at least everyone from the yellow fever
zone and get some chants to support the boys. Then players like
Nelson will feel more inclined to make the trip down here for
future games. If hes willing to fly all theway here to play Vanuatu
the least people can do is pay their 10 bucks and drive 3 km to the
stadium and support him. And it will be nice to see a
victory.

odds on he wont be here - who pays him?
If he wants to play, Blackburn can't stop him. They can only
decline to release him if it's a friendly international. Of course,
they can put pressure on Nelson to withdraw himself from selection.

I say we will get the crowd there, if Wellington can support the
Phoenix then why not the country? 15,000 would be great, but i hope
for more

Lets hope for a 25000 crowd, with folks travelling from the South
island as well as all over North Island, really create an
intimidating atmosphere for the opposition, and lift our lads to
victory!!!!! Every football fan should try to make it to
Auckland for the Fiji game too! Auckland's not too good at
supporting football as we know!!!! Just the hard core Bloc 5
lads, who all deserve medals of honour! Auckland needs a good
turnout too!!!! Our Thai Airways All Whites deserve it
too!!!!
Warning guys, this is Vanuatu after all. NZ does not have a
history of big crowds for NZ vs Island Nations and as for the Fiji
game it makes sence being played in Auckland due to the large
Fijian community there.
It makes no sense playing in a place with a large Fijian community,
as the Fijian team would get more backing which could lift their
game.
Good point Gunner! We'll campaign to get Graham Seatter and NZF to move the Fiji game to Wellington!!!!!

I spent most of the game arguing that the Bloc 5 banner wasn't a
fire risk becasue even though it blocked an aisle there was noone
within 30 mteres of the aisle.
Even had to get it smuggled in on the team bus FFS !

Hope you are right about the 25000 crowd, but somehow I very much
doubt it.
If it was in Melbourne maybe. There was 70000 there last night for the match anainst Argentina

I can live with that logic
7000 for a game against an island team would be a bonus i reckon.

thats going to be a massive week for sport in welly. kiwis
kangaroos on sunday, all whites on wednesday and phoenix the next
sunday. chuck in a world cup semi and final and its a big week. the
mrs wont be happy
haha yea ... take a picture , it might become a highy sought
after item in future
The population does not mean anything,as it is the passion for
sport that counts.If it was population, then Wembley should have
been for 300000.
Melbourne has passion and I think Wellington could be on the same level.
Auckland has never and will never have that, and that is why Phoenix should do OK regardless if they finish in the top four.
The AW should never play in Auckland as they are too apathetic.

I agree. Terrible Jaffas. They`ll be lucky to get 5 thousand for
that game against Fiji.
They'll get over 5000 Fijians sanday.
Yeah. I`m taking the piss. Depending on price, weather Killen,
Nelsen playing i think a crowd of 20 000 is possible.
The All Whites are not the same team they used to be, they have
quite a few start players and all are pretty much in form, i would
be surprised if they didn't win by at least 2 goals
