Sydney.
Just one night.
I like Long Island Ice Teas, Cooper's Pale ale & walks on sandy beaches.

Unfortunately I cannot let the deception go on any further...I was here already, long before this game! I did travel from there though, and I am going to the game, so technically...

Coming from Chch. I've gotta get on the ferry at about 8am Sunday though so it'll probably be an all nighter for me

No, flying up Saturday morning, ferry Sunday morning then train home. Hopefully I'll get sleep on the train. Depends on the final score I guess.

Blardy Air NZ and their expensive flights.

Thank god I got my airfares when they were affordable because I knew that if I waited for the first leg, that I would not be able to afford the asking price then.

Was a bit of a gamble given that Game 2 could have been a dead rubber though.

If the AW's win, you will have the longest night of your life and the biggest hang-over.

Yeah I can't believe all flights SOLD OUT for the weekend. I went to look for someone (but it wouldn't have mattered anyway as we couldn't get Ticketekits.

I have never done this, What sort of car have you got and how much petrol you think you will use.
 
Should be a great roadtrip and if the car breaks down I will RUN to Wellington

there's 4 of us going down, I don't know whose car we're taking, but it won't be mine, mine's a Toyota Camry 3000cc, so big petrol consumption, 4 way split on petrol should be pretty sweet.
 
if car breaks down, we're just gonna run like you lol

98united99 I know this is a football forum but.....

The Camry actually won't use a lot more petrol than say a 2L or even a 1.5L engine if you were driving from Auckland to Wellington return. In fact it might actually use less.

And the minimal cost difference buys you a LOT more comfort and ease of driving, especially with 4 in the car.

Perth...I can be an All White for the night because I have largely been disillusioned by the Socceroos for the last 3 years.
 
Your home end will definitely have little of the poltics that dominate Australian Home Ends.
 
So I am expecting a brilliant atmosphere.
