Mt Smart on Sunday

i was just thinking big picture - good to see bums on seats in a televised match and the money in kiwi coffers.  i must admit that they don't give me a great vibe, even from this far away in wellington. let's hope another team makes it next year.  who do you support?

 

what happenned to you?  no doubt something serious associated with someone's agenda once again kicking our game in the arse?

If there are 10 - 15,000 Fijians there, then we have to try to get them along each week to the NZFC. Imagine that. They are already here, why can't we attract them to the game.

 That's got to be the mission for NZ football. Get the immigrant community involved in going to the games - cheap tickets, make them welcome when they come.

That's what ACFC did when I turned up, they couldn't have been more welcoming - even Monsieur Vukcich, working behind the bar for gods sake. You can talk to him and have a laugh - the White-Hucks wouldn't even look at you.

Comtacting community groups might be something we can work on as a supporters group.

I know there are a few Japanese have been coming along to the ACFC games this year, as a result of Teru's appearance. Not a lot but a start.

Any ideas.

 

 

If there's that many fijians in NZ happy to go to a club football game then surely someone somewhere should be targetting them as a potential supporter base for local clubs . . . . The lack of marketting skill in NZ football surpirses me. There are so many non-traditinoal migrant groups who come here from countries that are crazy about foorball, but for some reason they are conspicuous by there absence at club games. It would'nt surprise me if most migrants from countries other than the UK are not made to feel as welcome as they could be within the club structures we have in place. . ..

Edward... were you there at the fight? At the top, up the right?

Crap game really. Waitak lucky.

What about Krapovic? How sh*t is he?!

 

Ba should have won that 2-0.

Utting was amazing and only reason why they won really.

Everyone, please let it be clear that we will not tolerate any behaviour that could remotely considered to be racist on this site.  Particularly after all of the negative publicity surrounding our (apparently) beautiful game lately.

Nembo I was about 6 rows from the fight, it got down to two having a right old niggle.  They had several attempts to kick things off.  The first outbreak looked like a scrum with 10-12 involved.  Luckly two sets of mates dragged them away.

 

Menapi ran out of steam up front during the season half, but did create some good chances.

Pearce was first to the ball and eventually in the net, bundled Ba players off the ball, but must have been sprigged cause he didn't  want to put his right foot on the ground late in the game.

 

That last sending off was due to pratting about.

Luiz Del Monte kept chipping away and caused trouble.

 

I could see the Waitak form but jeez they aren't as organised as Auckland City FC.

Good patches but crappy for long periods too.

As I said, if we can swipe 11 and 5 from Ba, we would have the key trouble makers.

Nice to sit in a decent sized crowd.

Still, very thankful that the home side one.
