That's kind of like saying a bus must be quicker than a motorbike...
I sense a false analogy here...

Did it look like it could have run over the runway or did it have plenty of space.

All looked very calm really. Like a good racehorse pulling up at the finish and did it easily, if that makes sense?
Used a substantial amount of runway (prob 3/4) but always in control. Made a long slow approach from the south and all went well, despite it being about 50 mins late.
It is a really lovely plane to look at, the livery is very attractive and as an Airbus, it is also very quiet .. we waited over the near aero club ... Cronus junior is a keen member there and would probably have more of the technical details when he gets in later.
We got there at 4.10 for original ETA of 4.30 .. there was a young guy there with a camera .. turned out he had flown all the way from AKld just to get a picture of the plane .. he wasn't so concerned about who was on it!
It's all soooooo .... EXCITING!!!

Oh my God!!!!!!
Missed the team by a couple of hours but I saw a couple of Bahraini support crew just now around 7pm and approached them. Got chatting and now my son has a Bahrain cap and I have a super large Go Bahrain tshirt!!!!
Showed them our banner which failed to impress one of them!

Yes .. and he was flying back again at 6.30!!
The plane spotters there were quite different from the football people .. they were very professional and had their own radios to listen to the Air Traffic Control and also brought their own ladders for a shot over the fence ... all good.

um, I have a (probably stupid) question, but I've heard "Bahrain" pronounced different ways and can someone (maybe Mr Bahrain) please tell us the correct way phonetically?

Quite hard to explain how to pronounce it. The "ah" in Bahrain is kinda like a long exhale "ah"

does the "ah" sound come from the back of your throat when you say it? cause that's how I have heard it pronounced
Thanks ahmad

touch wood, we won't be too worried about pronouncing Bahrain as long as we get the opportunity to practice saying "nil" directly after it
oh and "The night we beat" immediately before it

Mr Bahrain I wish you could have arranged for me to attend training with the invited Bahrainis.
We were kicked out by the NZ security but we still got to see your team!

Ba-ha-rain team came in a nice plane. A nice Airbus 340 that can carry around 300 passengers. Nice waterspray welcome as a goodwill gesture for Gulf Air's first landing at the reknown Welly Intl Airport. Sounds like rain is already a good omen and we want a dry sunny Saturday night!!

Posted elsewhere also but the guy from team management I bumped into at Wellington Airport said 600 people can fly on board.
