Cake Tin Seating Advice

Cake Tin Seating Advice

Hi everyone, just about to buy some tickets for the game.

Coming in from out of town so need some advice about seating.

We have been offered COVERED in aisle 32 (there will be children so we have been warned off White Noise by you guys yourselves :p), or UNcovered in 30.

I have been told that covered may be a better plan in case of adverse weather but in aisle 30 we can be 5 rows in front of the official "covered" section.

Is that actually partially covered? Or would we still be in big trouble if a storm passed over?

Thanks!

Aisle 30 will give you a slightly better view....I think Aisle 26/27 are halfway so, the higher the aisle number from there, the less side-on you'll be....aisle 36 is right behind the goal.  I'd imagine Aisle 30 would be about level with the edge of one of the penalty areas, whereas aisle 32 might be about level with the dead ball line.

Dead ball line?

32 = deadball line or behind

30 = 18 yard box line (from left to right)

But Covered at the Stadium can be a bit decieving, depends on the wind a little bit and if it is swirling. Ive been at games about 10 rows down from the back well and truly covered and get rained on if the wind is right.

So locals - will it rain on the night??

Only if you keep calling the Ring of Fire the Caketin :P

It's Wellington. Won't know 5 minutes before kick-off, let alone now.

LF1's been watching too much rugby apparently.

Haha!

It can snow as long as we make it through!

The dead ball line is what John Barnes is talking about when he says "you can be fast or slow, but you must get to the line.  They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack.  Theres only one way to beat them, get round the back".

So what is the ettiquite then? Apart from not calling it a baking instrument I mean.

Sing, chant and cheer like crazy.

Will they know the words in aisle 30? So sad we can't join white noise.
