Where we watching Vanuatu game?

Where we watching Vanuatu game?

Any idea? What times kick off?

KO is 4pm sat afternoon.

We don't think there is TV coverage...

Why does that not surprise me.

Would you be allowed out anyway ?

Port Vila doesn't have the infrastructure for live broadcast was what I saw somewhere but I've emailed SNZ for the full word.

I have struck up a deal for this weekend and for next Wed....cost me a bit but I think well worth it.

Not been shown live on the telly? that's sh*te. hyow does NZ Football expect to have any support when they/sky can't manage to get coverage on the radio or TV?

What, are NZ Football meant to pay for it themselves then ?

Port Vila doesn't have the infrastructure, and NZ Football doesn't have the money.

No infrastructure? sounlds like a cop out to me. Is it being covered on the radio, surely they have some live coverage??

YE ANY JOKER CAN DO RADIO COMMENTARY

So basically we probably wont even find out the result until Sunday or Monday!

They do have Phones...

Oh thats flsah, I thought they were still using pigeons!

Mate, the place is very much a "developing nation" (they're trying to be nice but calling poor countries that is still very condescending) and they probably dont even have television at all let alone enough major sporting fixtures to warrant the infrastructure to broadcast it live.

The oceania website may be the best place to keep tabs on this game. http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ Any other suggestions?

What radio station is it going to be on? Radiosport?

I really hope the commentator doesn't have the same accent as the Fijian-Indian commentator in the All Whites last match! That was painful on the ears!

The New Zealand All Whites team are arriving in Vanuatu on Friday 16 November, one day before their first encounter with the Vanuatu national team in the first round of their two two leg world cup play off in Port Vila on Saturday 17 November.

The Vanuatu Football Federation has confirmed that the boys for Aoteroa will be arriving at half past three in the afternoon, and will be checking in to the Melanesian Hotel.

New Zealand gave Vanuatu their first taste of world cup competition 15 years ago at the Port Vila Stadium. Charles Vatu had his name down on history when he became the first ni-Vanuatu player to score Vanuatu's first goal in a world cup game.  New Zealand won then by 3 goals to 1. Due to poor facilities, Vanuatu has not hosted any world cup matches at senior level since that game.

Meanwhile Vanuatu football has develop tremendously over the past years. The last time Vanuatu met New Zealand in the 2004 world cup play off in Adelaide, they managed to outscore the All Whites by 4 goals to 2. The win sent signals to FIFA and especially OFC that the islands were catching up, thanks to their various development programs.

In Port Vila VFF officials are preparing to host the New Zealand team, as well as FIFA and OFC officials who will be coming for the game. According to VFF, the referees of the match will be arriving in the Vanuatu capital on Friday morning, while the match commissioner and other officials will be arriving with the All Whites team on Friday afternoon.

Love your work Sanday. I'm guessing its only audio though and not video streaming. Toffeeman2007-11-16 09:59:53
