Should find some peeps here LG

You, Oceanic6, are a trooper.

OK, out of the aforementioned, who's going to which?

ill be going to f & f in riccarton tues night!

I'll go where the crowd goes I guess. I expect noise, not just people sitting and sipping away.

take your vuvuzela - you'll get some noise that way

Fox & Ferrit in Riccarton sounds good to me.  Hopefully there'll be a fair crowd there.  

holy grail in town could be another option, saw on the news today that it was packed for the south korea game and it looked very rowdy for ya timmy!

Need a core of people together to start chants etc. like what happens at Nix/AW games. It'll take some people a bit to get them into it so if it sounds poor to start with no one will catch on... i.e. a typical canterbury crowd.

your call (obviously)

but if the Holy Grail hasn't got behind the AW's by being an 'official' AW's supporters' pub (whatever that actually means) would you want to go there ahead of one that is noted as being behind the All Whites ??

(I'll butt out now)

It has some monster Rugby links as well, official bar of Canterbury Rugby and doesn't exactly have a record of encouraging football.

To their credit they show Nix games on the massive screen. Personally though I don't like the Grail.

the official bar in hamilton is the zone sports bar - the blandest bar in town 

still, anyone in hamilton heading out to watch it?

Right then chch boys lets make sure we all end up at the same place at least tues night. Thoughts?

I was planning to go to Winniebagos Ferrymead as it's just 5 mins walk from my house, and the manager there likes his football - have had some good chats with him about the AWs. And if we get a result against Slovakia it's an easy stagger back to my house for post-match celebrations!

But there'll be more people in the F&F I expect. Winnies isn't big enough to get a big crowd. Had about 50 people there for the Aussie game. 

Fox and Ferret Riccarton sounds like a goer

I hear that the Helm in Hamilton is showing the NZ-Slovakia game, if thats any help to our Hamilton supporters

oh yea, im guessing a few bars will be showing it, just wana kn ow the one with the most other fans, helms nice though so may head there

Looks like I'm going to either the Grail or Bard-on-Avon (being dragged there).  Expect a fair few to show up at the various bars round the city.

The Bard on Avon is showing every wc game live.

For complete randomness and in case someone else is looking for company, I'm going to Soi 8 in Sukumvit Soi 8, Bangkok for tonight's game (Slovakia). NZ owned sports bar,usually full for the rugby, hopefully there'll be a few there cheering the AWs on as well.

fox and ferret for me in riccarton

Hope for a big crowd at the kings tonight 

Not me.  Home with Junior News at this stage.

i'll be at the hub in namba, osaka if anyone wants to join me

Kings here we come.

"once a w*nker, always a w*nker"

Must have been standing right next to you, love it how ihe gave it the large, giving the fingers etc after the chant started then sheepishly walks past a couple of times after. Sad Capain Kraut2010-06-16 13:32:34

My mate was trying to block people from going tot he toilet. We aint been to the world cup since 82 just hold on until halftime. It was so frustrating

zone bar in hamilton was an interesting crowd

one girl with a knights shirt sitting with a group of indian guys started cheering rather loudly for the slovakian goal, much to the displeasure of everyone else, then the same table cheered for our goal. strange.

at the final whistle i heard some guy asking if it now went to extra time.

still, was an ok crowd so not complaining

Kings was pandemonium

The Ed bar in Newtown went  crazy ,chairs ,drinks ,bar staff ,customers all knocked over in seething mass of rapturous delight and real ale !!

What a night! Kiwi Jambo2010-06-16 15:46:49

haha i was right in front of the guy telling people to wait till halftime - goooood lad. i said at the time, must be the rugby fans that are the ones walking around

Was at the Grail and the place absolutely exploded when we scored.  Non-stop yelling, screaming, hugging and who knows what else by a few hundred people for the next 5-10 minutes.

I hear the Bard on Avon is better.  That true?  Also, are there seats?  I'm a fan of standing at football games, but at 2am I don't know if I can be arsed.

What was the deal with that guy at Foxs? Was in the back room near the pool tables watchin the big screen in there so all I saw was some clown hamming it up and flipping the bird and looking like a total twat.

He was a t**ser. Next game I reckon we get a chant going telling people stop walking around. Should do the trick. Worked with getting the camerman to turn his light off hahah felt sorry for that bloke

He tended to somehow pick the biggest guys there to stop from going to the toilet. About 5 times he got asked if he wanted to take it outside lol.

haha yea poor fella i felt for him cos it was the same pricks walking back and forth, some of them must of gone to the toilets 3 or 4 times
