All Whites V Tahiti Tues 16th 7:30pm

 I'll probably be there around 4

I'm excited.  Just saying.

Flight booked ,hotel booked just need a ticket for the game now !

32 tickets bought in the White Noise Zone.  Represent! Probo go to the Speights Ale House too so will see you all there.

PAX = 6938

I'm leaving Timaru at 2pm and will head straight to the Ale House so will make it there by 4:30pm

Two of us flying down to meet 2 ex Welly friends.  Tickets bought ages ago tho.

What's the word on these drink specials?  I'm thirsty already!

So... Ale House is the place to meet for this Tuesday game?? 

Coming up from Ashburton by myself.... keen to get loud with the White Noise!

 Yea definitely get to the Ale House if you can

I'd like to specify for the out of towners that it is The Speights Ale House TOWER JUNCTION.  Apparently there are 3 Ale Houses in ChCh.

Get in!

Oh one more question, what time people starting to meet there???

 With Tim Payne getting his second yellow, he will now miss this game. Who do you think will take his place? I wouldn't mind seeing Fenton getting a call up even if its just sitting on the bench. Surely he will be up there on Ricki's list. Hopefully he gets another good performance under his belt on Sunday.

 I would think you can't call in a replacement for a suspended player from the names squad.  They get Reid and Nelsen so may not call anyone in anyway.

look who was at the breakers game friday night...(go to about 47 seconds)

Just be wary if he asks to borrow your copy of the Dom Post.

Anyone know if these yellow cards get rescinded before we (presumably) move into the next round against Concacaf.

If not, then I can imagine that if we win on Tuesday and are leading against New Caledonia with 15 to go there will be a flurry of "clearances" issued for kicking the ball away etc so that suspension can be served in the dead rubber against Solomons. . 

Pretty sure Piney said that if you got your second yellow in that last game you'd have to sit out the first leg in the next round. So every chance, or we just don't play those at risk.

where is pub in relation to game.?.  Im confused as to game location..ticket says AMI stadium?

 New AMI = Rugby League Park.

You can see the stadium from the pub, so as long as you get to the Ale House you'll be fine.

ahha

Anyone know who's going to be at ricarton mall today?

Visiting fans - as a Christchurch urban resident, I suggest as much as possible you try and visit the inner city and patronise businesses there - there are plenty of cafes, shops and bars still open if you look around and they really need your custom.

It's natural you'll be visiting bars and restaurants near AMI Stadium in Addington ,and those in nearby Riccarton - but to be honest, these locales get plenty of patronage now and the inner city needs your custom more.

It's also interesting to view the scale of devastation in the inner city and view some demolitions (including some very large buildings and historic buildings)

Check out: # Victoria St from Bealey Avenue up to the Casino on Kilmore St intersection (bars and restaurants).

# Himalaya Restaurant - the only restaurant surviving in the main dining strip of the city, on the main street - first restaurant to rebuild after the Feb 2011 quake and surrounded by empty sites. Close to damaged Town Hall at 830 A Colombo Street between Peterborough & Salisbury -real central. Good Indian food and good prices - dine in or take-away. Order on website: http://www.himalayas.co.nz/

# "Re-Start Mall" - a whole shopping centre built from shipping containers - Cashel Mall - access from Oxford Terrace (opposite Bridge of Remembrance on river). Clothes, craft, souvenirs, cafes etc. open till 6pm

# Take a Red Zone guided bus tour - only public access to the still-quarantined centre of town around the Square. Must book - can do so near departure point at Info Centre next to Museum just prior to taking. Info here:

http://www.redbus.co.nz/new-zealand/redzonetour/

# Best urban bus system in NZ still functioning well - routes and timetables to all city buses here:

http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx

# Museum is the only public cultural facility remaining open from before the quakes in the central city. Check out the Canterbury Earthquakes display where you'll find the Cathedral spire, major toppled statues and recordings of peoples' experiences etc.

# Best town in NZ for free Wi-fi -  look out for 50 public phone boxes and Telecom hubs with free Wi-fi (look for white tubes on roof of box) Nearest free Wi-fi point to stadium here, really close-by: 

at the mall now. looks like quite a few players will be here by the way they set up

the line has started already. looks like whole team is going to show

I've been here and I've been there in my Ricki Herbert Oven gloves

Just avoided a two bedroom Hatter share ,in my Ricki Herbert oven gloves !!

OOOh OOh Ooooh !!!

See you in the Speights  boozer big man !

The guy behind me in the line won an All Whites top :(  said he was a bigger egg ball fan than football too

but was awesome to have the team at rebel sports 15 players there plus Ricki signing stuff. Cant wait for the game tomorrow, weather is looking good too so hopefully a big turn out 

Tickets brought.... cant be at Ale house. White Noise area tho, hopefully meet you peeps there. Coming up from ashburton on my own. Umm where is Row AA.

Are who cares.. going to be a good night anyway

Next to me!  It goes row a - z from the front, so we'll be 27 rows back I'm guessing

I'm in rows R and S. kinda close 

which stand..north or south?

White noise zone
