All Whites and Nix Nov 17

As the All Whites and Phoenix are both playing on November 17, and I'm assuming that the All Whites will finish before the Phoenix start (or am hoping), is there any way that maybe the stadium could open a little earlier and play the All Whites on the big screen before hand? Hope TonyP can maybe arrange it, or we all gonna miss one of the games.

Hey, I'm a ticketek member and I got an email today offering me tickets for the All Whites game vs Vanuatu on November 21st..
You sure you got the date right?
Or maybe they will play 2 games 4 days apart from one another?

The 17th is the away game, then home on 21, so the date is right.

oh boy,
  hope the Nix won't be too harmed by having 4/5 players away with the AW's. Anyway I totally like the idea of the Stadium being opened a bit early so we can watch the game in Port Vila first and the Nix afterwards..
does anyone know what time the fixture is supposed to start??
Do you think maybe Moss' father in law should enter the military so he'll get refused entry to Vanuatu and we can have a full team??? :D

Surely we could just watch it at the Backbencher or Thistle beforehand?

I don't want to seem unpatriotic but I would rather have all our players available to play for the Phoenix. Nov 17 at home against Sydney is a game we can win. the disruption of loosing the coach and 5 of our better players is a real pain.
To be honest if the All White's can't beat Vanuatu without Smeltz, Lockhead and co then they have no chance of getting anywhere near the WorldCup.
The fiasco around the Fiji games really screwed up the Phoenix. It is no surprise that we are in the middle of a three game loosing streak.

I agree.

At least schedule the qualifiers for midweek so that players can return to their clubs (as overseas).

Yeah but we need combinations right too for the World Cup, got to take every opportunity we get to promote and get our boys playing for the All Whites. Just a bummer that the A-League won't reschedule games.
 
Maybe something that may happen in future.

I say tackle him in the face.

It seems to put Ricky in a n awkward situation - if he did 'rest' Lochead and or Smeltz, or even the much maligned (but sorely missed) Chrisitie by omitting them from the AWs I reckon the press would hammer him

Who cares what the fickle press say - does anyone realistically think that 'they' are right anyway.
 
Maybe the Phoenix management should demand a midweek fixture, given that we have already suffered thanks to politics getting invloved with sport [again]

$15 for students, $27 for adults. If you're buying more than one ticket, take your Phoenix membership (season ticket) to get a discount.

HMmmmmm. With season passes can we get into the  AW's game like I can with my rugby one that gets me into Super 14 All Blacks and NPC???

I say for that game we call ourselves White Fever or something and make some All White Chants.
