YF zone for the Fiji game?

Fijian fans made quite a lot of noise last time a footy match was played in Auckland. Would be good if a decent number of the YF trained people are able to seat themselves in a "home fans zone" (obviously location to be determined through discussion here on the forums)and belt out some songs. . .. ..

Right in the middle near the tunnel so when the players go out they see the YF.

Nice suggestion HN.
 
Perhaps BLOC 5 could be fully re-vived as the All-White's Supporter's Club? ? ?

Straight up SH1, keep going over the bridge, get off at Oteha Valley Road, turn left. Over roundabout, can't miss stadium. Don't park in it as they charge $10 and its a f**king rip off.  Park at Albany Speights Ale House, short walk

No car. Had to sell it 'coz it was haunted

In that case:

Intercity coaches.... around $70 if I remember correctly. Overnight, if ya lucky it'll be close to empty. Drops ya off at the Sky Tower, early in the morning. Get some brekky have a walk around. Walk to the buses, take the 875. All the way over the bridge... takes you along East Coast Road on the Shore.... get off at Northcross lights (just before it turns off to browns bay). Walk along Oteha Valley Road, you'll see the stadium eventually.

Or carpool with HN ;)

If I was driving I'd offer, but I'm on the tin budgie to Hamiltron then rental up and fly back from Auckland.  I can offer a lift over the Shore...

How's my driving? - Whine here

Seatts had an interview on radio sport at about 5.50 this afternoon. This game all  hinges on the minister of immigration granting the Fijian team visas.

Public transport across the bridge folks:

On the basis that the game is on, those seeking transport across the car-strangled spanner would be prudent to use the Northern Express bus service, which on Saturdays, departs Britomart every fifteen minutes, arriving at the Albany Park & Ride station circa thirty minutes later. The P&R is fifteen minutes walk from the ground.

Northern Express buses back to Britomart run on the half-hour from 6pm, with the last one departing at 10.30pm (for the ale-ienated!)

One way fare is $5.40, while an Adult Day Return fare is $10.40 - only a 40c saving, but ...

Also keep in mind the Naked Bus service for longer travel...a bit cheaper than the mainstream bus companies usually.

Blimey, what's this nonsense about waiting for visas?  Would we forfeit some points without kicking a ball????
