Gimme PAX!

Welcome backCboZ2010-10-10 11:56:07

If Welly don't beat Auckland you'll never hear the end of it! 

Alreay have.



















on a per capita basis

Keep in mind it's on a Tuesday and there's a fair chance they will.

25,000 for Aus v Paraguay is a very disappointing crowd for a Saturday. Considering it is a Tuesday I'd be happy with around 20,000.

21 847 would suit me fine.

Current pax?

Be bloody impressive if they beat the Australia crowd on a school night.

Paraguay PAX is at 12804. I thought we were past this point tbh

Bollox. C'mon Wellington, time to overcome the rain, the school night, and the wind for our boys!

Weather supposed to be okay, well good actually.

We will need to form a knitting circle and complain about how Akld is stealing our support base.

Ive already started on my "f**k off Auckland" scarf. Going with the two colour lattice stitch,feel its working quite well.

Just because you're jealous of our honest Kiwis going to coalface football games at NHS.

My number based on the fact that overall the games would have averaged 20 000 each so NZF would have broken even.  That's all assuming my maths was right which is highly questionable.

ROF jealous of NHS...?

So much pax. 13163 as of 2.18pm

Just spoke to a couple of friends who didnt go to the game. they were still away with their kids on school holidays. I wonder how many missed the game because of this?. Unfortunate timing of the FIFA window.
To be honest if Welly get over 18,000 that will be a fantastic result. Its a Tuesday night, the weather might be a bit rough.
Part of the Bahrain crowd last year were people from Hamilton and North and given that many of those people will have been to the Honduras game i doubt many will be heading to Welly as well.
So Im expecting/hoping to see close to the Auckland numbers. Anything more will be brilliant.
The last time i saw a crowd like the one in AUckland watching an All Whites game was way back in 1997 when we played Aussie in a world cup qualifier.
I think Welly will get a bigger crowd than we did in Auckland but expecting a sell out is asking too much.

Pax at 2.35 13198

THAT IS TERRIBLE.

Considering it's pissing down with rain,is freezing,and a weeknight,I don't see how you can be surprised or find that terrible...

Agreed. If we get close to 20k it'll be impressive.

That said, c'mon WELLINGTON!

That could buy a few chit chats I dare say.

If you do get funding for the BBQ maybe the next meeting should be in Timaru?

Forecast tomorrow ?

That's looking more like Wednesday I think.

Surprisingly I think it is supposed to be fine tomorrow

if today's weather continues i reckon there'll be 25-40 Paraguayans who will have a severe lack of interest in turning up

I'd take 3-4 k less walk up if the weather meant P'guy did a Bahraini freeze out and we got the win

heard on radio sport they'd sold 14k. fingers crossed we wake up to no wind and a clear blue sky.

so guess Larissa and her cellphone did not make the trip?

Four of us will go to Timaru - Me & me Mam & me Dad & me Gran

twas at that said game, Aussie 3-0 winners. The Aussies had that 'epic' tie with Iran later and lost on away goals...

Just got 3 extra tickets highest PAX # 13759Hogster2010-10-12 08:47:50

Just got mine 13793

Was just out getting myself a coffee in central Wellington, and its not as if people don't know about the game - everyone (7 or so people) at the coffee stop was talking about it (as opposed to the weather or the commonwealth games) but the typical response to the "are you going?" question was either:

* It costs too much ($39... really?) or
* Its only a friendly, means nothing, who cares etc...

So there you have it, the typical NZ sports fan...

too much? haha how much does a sh*tty All Blacks game vs Tonga etc cost?
