TW Vs the Bay Sunday at 4

TW Vs the Bay Sunday at 4

Whats happening anyone going along to this?

You going to put on a better display than lasrt match Roy ?

I'm there, along with most of the rest of the exec I suspect.  Probably go to that same top corner of the stand as last time, the end nearest the Heineken lounge.

All encouraged.

Nothing rhymes with Barbarouses...

Someone told me yesterday that the Women's side are playing a league game as the curtain raiser as well.

Anyone able to confirm that ?

Yep, Capital Football are playing Waikato/BOP before the TW/HB match. This is the NWL semi-final. They were really impressive last week against Central. dairyflat2007-11-23 12:13:19

What time is KO for that and is the bar open then too?

Ill hopefully make it down to the game from the Bay, need a ride though as am coming down for the Adelaide and Galaxy games and can't afford the gas for both lol ... so if anyone else from the Bay is going down for the Team Wellington game against HB, and you have some room in ya car (besides the boot), then PM me :) ill give ya some gas money

Cheers Axeman

Brendan, we have two seats to go to welly tomorrow if you and a mate (must be rowdy) want to?? i'll chuck a message on your bebo too.

I assume Yellow Fever shirts are encouraged?

yes - but bringing your singing voice is more important

Mate I'm a musician, I've always got my singing voice.

TW win 4 -3 and go top of the table after Auck and Ytuk draw.

Sounded like a good game. TW 3-0 up then HB coming back to 3-3.

Yeah really good game. I missed the first half but got the second, have to say that HB were very unlucky not to come away with a point (based on second half watching). Smith missed a clear opportunity late on, and Jenkins' shot bloody close late on in. Still, a great game to watch on a mint day, well done to TW. Decent crowd too.

ridiculous game! brilliant though. TW nearly blew it, only saved by a screamer from Raf

...as James Dean and Yellow Fury said, you ALWAYS get value for money out of Team Wellington matches.

Thanks to Johnny Gould as well, great spirit and banter with the stands...

Yeah I caught up with Gouldy after the game briefly and said "well done for taking us in the spirit intended" and he was loving us.

Good on him for taking it the right way I reckon.

That was a laugh!! ... and Father Gould agreed with his son!

"we are top of the league" sounds great!

While its still early days - the signs are Stu and TW are doing the business...a good mix of senior players with an injection of youth...

Bay of Plenty got an NZFC team? :P

The Bay still =  BOP to me. Hard habit to break.



What a great day of football! Excellent result for the women with one heck of an entertaining match, followed by TW taking the top spot! 

TWO great goals.

Waikato/BOP's equaliser!!!   

...and then....

Raf's free kick.

Yeah, top match. Gutted I missed the girls game and the chance to talk to the Waikato girls. They all looked about my age and very nice looking some of them too......

Robbo rubbed it in my face at one point a little as well.
And encouraged me to "give them something to remember Wellington by."

Wellington were lucky, but they've earned it after their past season's effort.  Plus the pen was a pretty tough call.

 

Sam Messam was a handfull, and Sean Douglas got on the score sheet.  TW V City Dec 15th.  Should be a blockbuster, need to get a fevezone going!!

I understand that r#$%y has no place in YF forums, but after this years sh*thouse showing by the BOP Steamers, and great showing by the Magpies, I think Hawkes Bay has every right to be the 'official' Bay.

What can I say, I'm a bad influence . Looking at your usericon, we'll call it even haha

Could always photoshop it to say Caution Daniel or Hyuk-Su Seo

Great game- great day- Raf's goal celebration in front of Johnny Gould, turning him puce with rage, was worth the admission price and sunburn alone!

Yes very good game, us Bay supporters got silenc�d pretty quick, both by the quick three goals, and also by the Fever guys at the other end of the stand, we were low on numbers though.  It was a great game to watch, great comeback from United and we could have won it as we had a few more good chances after the equalising goal.

Good on you guys for making the trip, away fans always add a bit of atmosphere which makes the match more fun. I'm planning on repaying the favour

I'll go with ya if I'm not in Aussie by then.

The chanting gets out better if we stand at one end of the stand, the wall pushes the sound out over the ground.

I'll be taking the bus as my car is haunted (and in Tauranga), else I'd offer you a lift. You're certainly welcome to join me on the bus trip of course

Old fashioned quoting:

aah the science of soccer, the physics of football!


Newtown Park is primo- so many different ways to watch the game....cannot wait til they play Auckland!
C'mon you killer bees!

Actually that's Wellington's lacrosse team

/final plug, I quit lacrosse yesterday to focus on football!

A bit belated I know but I have to say a big well done to the boys making the noise down at Newtown Park on Sunday. The Welly boys were vocal and entertaining (too many average chants for my liking, you don't need 20 different ones, just concentrate on 8 good ones!!) and it was great having the Hawkes Bay boys down with thier drum aswell. It's all good for NZ football, creating a bit of culture and banter etc. Keep it up.
