Hoping this is where to post this.
Just wondering if all you guys and girls from Wellington and Auckland wanted to have an Auckland vs Wellington football game a bit earlier in the day? :P
Talked about this a little with Dale when he was up here for the All Whites game in case there was that "1 game a season" game in Auckland. Thought this would be some great fun, and gives us all something to do while socialising :)
Would need a list of all the people on here from Auckland that would be keen.
I'm keen but at this stage I will be overseas for work and my flights to auckland will go unused. Suggest we pick this up again in the new year.
Already looking at a location nearby... Nixon Park. It would even be within walking distance of the stadium... but I would suggest playing early enough to go have a shower afterwards :P
I've spotted a flaw. That schedule has no pub involved. Kind of key. I reckon a 10 or 11 game somewhere like Vic Park so we can be at Foxes by 12-1.

This would be cool, Auckland YF v Wellington YF
I'd be keen and could wrangle a few from my social Sunday team
I would be keen..... the surgeon who replaced both my knees in September would be less keen though!!
Happy to participate in a Managerial role (read standing on the sideline drinking piss and yelling useful bits of information at people who are really good players in their own minds)

Grabaseat is doing some Breakers/Phoenix combo getaway deals.
Gutted I didn't know about the Breakers earlier. My flight arrives at like 11 or midnight
End of an era. Vinnie - It's over.
If anyone cares for my inane babbling follow @iluvnix17 on the Twitter.
Fuckers never give a Napier option!
Car pool from Hawkes Bay anyone?

I know a few Glory fans who would be keen if you need to make up numbers...been about 5 years since my first yellow fever match lol.
Well finally kicked off with michaelme likely being able to get a few along.
I also tried the crazy thing of seeing if we could get the game hosted in the stadium... even as curtain raiser :P Naturally they came back with a no... so asked if we could get some support... have some of the guys show up and maybe we could do some fundraising for charity :) Waiting to hear back again.
OOOH! If you need a keeper I'm in.

Could be in with a few mates. Naturally I live in Auckland. But don't really like the place, What does that make me eligble for?

Hey I've just decided to go to the game. When are the majority of people flying up/back? What's the haps (generally speaking)?
Also, very keen to play in the game, too. count me in

Transplanted Wellingtonian living in Auckland, so will play for either side. I'm familiar with Nixon Park, it's not a bad park although not great grass cover if I remember right.
OK those that are interested let me know by email (tyson@webdrive.co.nz) if you haven't already.
Can someone from Wellington please talk to the guys and girls and get back to me with a team list so we can confirm there are enough numbers.
I will try to get out to the park this weekend to see what it's like and what other facilities are there.
Another slight problem is that a number of people from Welly seem keen to go to the ACFC v Waitakare game at Kiwitea street at 1.00pm. What does that do to proposed timing? Perhaps it could be a curtainraiser for that game....lol
Could do this in the morning? 10am-ish, would give us about an hour and a half to get to Kiwitea. I'm not familiar with the locations in Auckland, would this be achievable? Would make for an awesome day of football.

...I thought the curtain raiser was at Eden Park before the Nix game?
If I remember I'll ask NZF for the cuurent state.
Well if we can get the use of the field at Auckland FC in the morning it would be awesome... play a game, drink some beer, watch a game, then watch another game... not necessarily in that order :P
Anyone have any contacts at the club?
Can't see them letting us on Kiwitea. Would need to find somewhere else that way, or somewhere else on the 248 route.
Just think, if all you Wellies shouted for Waitakere you'd ruin their deathly wall of silence.

Kiwitea St full of Phoenix supporters? A dangerous liason indeed!
"At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive...
I'll take my chance because luck is on my side or something...
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand...
Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."

Hoggy to be The Great Appeaser. At least the Nix supporters will be able to cheer on Mulligan, finally.

OK so the deal will have to be something like Nixon Park at about 10am, then across to Kiwitea Street for the game and the bar there. Checked with management... they will have a bar in the clubhouse and one outside which I'm guessing is by the stands, and will also be a food stand outside too.
So let's get final numbers sorted. Anyone got a phone number for Dale or one of the other guys down there in Wellington?
Oh and of course from there to Eden Park.
Not sure how exactly we are going to make our way around though... can look at how much a chartered bus/the party bus will cost. Won't cost much with everyone chipping in.
