DIY World Cup - Anyone not on the Fever Tour?

Unless I'm doing something wrong I couldn't work out a bus from Nelspruit-Polokwane.

Na i think you're right, only going to Polokwane from Joburg, Pretoria or the airport.

Hey guys - I'm a Scot based in Christchurch and I'll be in SA from June 19-July 12. I have tickets for the Italy and Paraguay group games, plus 3 other group games and 10 knockout matches.

I'm basing myself in Jo'burg for the first week and getting the match day buses (as sold on strictlytickets.com) for the All-Whites matches.

Are most other Kiwis travelling in from the big cities on the day, or are there a few that are staying in Polokwane/Nelspruit? It would be great to have a few beers with the other All-Whites fans.

Just found this thread DOH!!!!

We have a group of 4 going on a DIY....14 matches in 17 days....plus a kruger Park tour the day after our 0-0 draw with Italy....;-)

I've sorted our whole tour out so if you need any advice feel free to message me on here. If flights are still a prob there is a VAustralia (virgin) flight direct from Melbourne to Joburg twice a week.

We have hired cars for much of the trip - I spent so much time looking for buses & trains in the end I just gave up....

also I have some spare tickets to sell - Oz v Serbia in Nelspruit - (3 days after us and the day before we play in Polokwane) plus 3 tickets for all our matches

I guess my only concern is that the last two emails i have sent to the B&B i am staying in, in Sandton have been unanswered.....

Probably should have thought about posting here earlier....

Booked all my flights and accom etc as soon as the draw was made and purchased my tickets to NZs 3 pool games. Never thought all of my mates would bail on me though :)

Anyway.. I am travelling on my own,  basing myself in Pretoria between games and I have a rather small hire car and very little luggage. If anyone needs assistance in transport then I am quite happy to help.. The more the merrier....

Late notice and all .. but it would be great to catch up up with the AW supporters.... gonna be a small but very vocal crowd...

davybhoy !

Would love a ticket to our Polokwane game!!


I wanted to get on the original Fever tour last year but couldn't come up with the deposit *sigh* at that time so gave up on the whole idea (depressingly) & just booked ann leave holidays to watch the WC on the box

It dawned on me 3 weeks ago that I owed "the man" bills (Electricity, iPhone, Broadband, Landline, Bondi Courthouse, Foxtel, NSW Car Rego) to a total of $2000 & I would need to borrow from my bank to cover all this sh*t so I thought "f**k it, maybe I can borrow enough to get to the last 2 games for OUR WC?" so I looked up the net & found the oh so cheap V-Aus flights.

Well the bank loan came through yesterday!!!! wOOt !!
Flights booked, Nelspruit Accom booked (Tent LOL!) Oz v Serb tickets bought.
I "think" I'm sorted for Italy V NZ....
but if you can help with Polokwane...?

GUTTED....wouldve been grand if you'd posted on here earlier! I'm pretty sussed now and leave this coming Monday so aren't really keen to modify any further my current plans that have been modified a hundred x over already, but if you're keen to exchange contact details for when we are in SA then Private Message me. You're more than welcome to join us for some pre/post match partying etc if it works out....A fellow All Whites Supporter is a friend of mine, especially one that was bailed on like myself :o( Join the club, we are upto 3 now :D

Also, I know a couple of people needing a lift from Jo-burg to Rustenburg for the NZ vs Slovakia match, so I've emailed one of them a link to your post....hopefully they will get in touch with ya :o)

If we don't catch up for a drink, have the time of your life!!! You'll meet dozens of kind and like minded people on your travels, it probably won't even feel like you are on your own!!!

Cheers

Hi All,

I am driving from pretoria to Nelspruit on the 19th.. if you are keen to share some costs around. Not sure if I can help with accom.. I just booked in with a hostel......

Anyone else flying over on the 6am Qantas flight from Wellington via Sydney on Sat 12 June?

Hi guys

Hi all,

I've got myself and 2 other mates heading over. Ages 22/23/28.

Are plans are pretty fixed and we've got a lot of duties to fulfill, IE keeping those happy who're hooking us up so we can't really link up too much.

However you can PM me on here, or email me brumbys@gmail.com if you want to catch up pre or post games.

We'll be at both 1/4s in Jo Burg, Argentinas R16 in Jo Burg, England v Algeria in Capetown and NZ's group games of course!!!

Then there's always the chance we come 2nd in our group and then we'll be at a couple more!

Hey is anyone driving out to any of the games and keen for a spot of convoy?

We've just touched down in Cape Town today (the 7th), and are very keen to meet up with some fellow kiwis!

We are hiring a car out of Rustenburg on the 20th, and heading to Nelspruit, Kruger (3 day safari), Polokwane and back to Pretoria, we are definitely keen for a convoy.

We will also most likely have two spare seats so if anyone is keen to jump in on that, that would be awesome.

Has anyone seen the deal ?Williments have jacked up for before match partying in each of our three venues? http://www.nzfootball.co.nz/index.php?id=737

After the tour my girlfriend and I (27 & the same) will be in Durban for the r16 match (likely Netherlands and...2nd from our pool, take your pick), from the 27th June to 1 July.

Hey yeah ive got most of my travel sorted apart from the leg from Joburg to Nelspruit for the Italian game. Would love to share a ride/cost and catch up for a few drinks. I'm travelling with an aussie mate but he can't make the italian game. Cheers
