Hoping to get over 4 000 so that for future footballing events I can keep boasting that Christchurch is more than a viable option.

What times the game start? It's on the Sunday isn't it? I'm down in Chch for a few months but the missus is supposed to be down that weekend, naturally she'll come along but not if her flight back to Welly is in the middle of the game.

Should be a good win for the Nix

Don't know if this is the right place to put it, but team selection for the game?
Do we go full on or play more experimental lineups?

Crowther should get a go and I heard Greeny might play a bit..but what kind of defence? And they should give Rojas a start me thinks

Experimental imo. Last game of trying things out and then go full on in China with our possible first 11.

I thought you were more the Martin Keown type...

Attacker gets around you. You take a Giant step forward, turn your head to the Linesman and raise your hand in appeal of Offside...

Cheers Torne, getting ahead of myself there.

I put it down to Pre-Season Football Deficiency Syndrome, a little known but nasty malady, characterised by such symptoms as;
persistent viewing and posting in football forums,
obsessive discussion and research of obscure football facts and figures, and in severe cases such as mine,
imagining games are happening when they're not happening at all.

What about a pub before or after the game?

Hopefully I will spot some people; I'll be wearing my Nix- Galaxy scarf.

nil all draw in this afternoons game at QE2 V Mainland 11.

Crowd of 4000 in freezing cold cnditions.

Greenacre played in the 2nd half and looked busy and eager, had 1 nice volley saved , created more chances in 2nd half. Rojas injured after 20mins so didnt get a chance to impress. Diego didnt do much. Mulligan had one of his better games - distributed the bal well.

Siggy got in to a bit of fisticuffs with Mainland player - all good stuff.

Costa played the 1st half only and looked good.

Created chances but didnt take them.

Defence was solid. Crowther kept the whole game but was not tested really so couldnt really judge him.

Interesting comments about the four strikers they have on their short-list

Viduka?

yeah EvertonFC, Man U beat us to Owen, so he's one possibilty

and especially that 2 of those four would be straight signings..they'd obviously have to be good.
It will be interesting to see live streaming of the China matches and see how that trialist goes while they are over there.
