From Granny Herald this morning ..

"

The Bahrainis will have plenty of support. The General Organisation for Youth and Sports (Goys) have arranged for 50 or so Bahraini students based in New Zealand to be flown to Wellington where they will be joined by 30 students studying in Sydney.

Their airfares and accommodation costs have "been taken care of".

Gulf Air are also offering a fare of $1385 for a return flight for supporters keen to make the trip to a game the Bahrainis are confident of winning."


Wonder where they'll be sitting - Corporate Boxes ??

100 or so of Bahrain supporters versus 34,000 New zealand supporters, fair proportion for us.

addition to the Saudis and the Qataris and Emiratis and Kuwaitis, Egyptians, Lebanese and Syrians who are in New Zealand, all of them confirmed their support for All  red attend.

I'll believe it when i see it.

That really is scraping the barrel, don't you think? I wouldn't count on too much Saudi support buddy, seeing as they'll be watching the Finals on telly, thanks to Bahrain.
 
 
C'mon the Whites!

Well the Bahrian section is sold out, I hear the Bahrian royal family is coming, and have bought up 1000 tickets.

Either way, 1000 of them will not out yell the White Noise zone let alone the rest of the stadium

I knew they would sell out the 1000 away supporter seats.

I am more interested to know if the royal family are coming, and where they will watch the game from. It would be good to have them in NZ, to add to coverage of the gameArd Righ2009-10-22 15:15:09

If they are here, they will watch it from the VIP box.

Doesn't the Bahraini team play badly at home due to pressure from the watchful eyes of the Royal Family?

Excellent!
