The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.
Advanced party has arrived. Heading to Drexel's in Riccarton Mall for brekky. Starving.

Three for me, and two for them.
Pretty average show from the locals. Sackofspuds and his three pals were the only ones that joined in.

Clearly the novelty factor has worn off for ChCh.
Welnix - please note that it is time for the likes of Nelson, Invergigill, The Tron and Gizzy next year. And have them all in a row like this season too.

I was actually going to post that news, but sadly I would have been banned. Again.
It is what it is. Great to have football in my city. 9k is about what you get in Wgton on a good day so please don't hassle us.
Three pages of fog angst shows it's not the game rather the experience. And we were singing on your group and I was blessed to have a fag with Feverish so it ain't all bad.
I heart football.
I let my guitar speak for me
Bloody disappointing! 10k is a minimum so to get even get that is piss poor. Engagement was poor as well. Were bugger all locals joining in the Fever Zone which is personally very disappointing. Was really pushing this game and the Zone within the Chch group and city and to get a turn up like that is quite disheartening.
Teams been playing poorly for last few years and NZers are fickle. We know this!

I really don't understand the disappointment. It's relatively expensive to go for a causal walk up fan and i would imagine people will be saving their coin for the cup and show week. + that with crap football etc etc..
To say the fever turn out is poor from the locals.. mhmm.. we've never had a huge zone here. in 2010 we maybe had 30 more people involved.

I know how Spuds feels.

I spoke to someone who likes football and who is from Christchurch during the week. He had no idea the game was on this weekend until I told him.

We gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do ... Etc and so on.

The good, the bad & the ugly from my point of view. Ok, a lot of you wont agree with this but opinions are like arseholes - everyone has one.
First up, the Nix are slowly improving except in that final 3rd. Stein nor Brockie seem to work together but work as two individuals. And Stein has proved why he is called "waffles" just friggen shoot man, you're not going to get lots of space in this league. brockie ended up going out way too wide to be effective. Carlos is trying to do his job as an AM but he is also having to do a CM role and even a DM roll far too often. Vinnie & Manny/Hicks are getting dragged into the middle and they are staying in there, leaving the wings unprotected and gifting the opposition way too much space. Once again Fenton has been left exposed with fuck all support except when either Siggie or Duro get dragged out of position to help the poor lad out. he's trying to make a go of it and I think midfield is letting him down by giving him no options out wide to pass to. Instead they're all in the central part of the park.
Brockie, Stein & Carlos should develop a shoot on sight attitude. Any richo..rico....deflection, could still create a chance for someone else. shit, even Vinnie wanted to shoot. Moss had a very comfortable game today, saved everything with ease except their goal which was probably in all honesty deserved. Perth were pressuring us a lot.
Now: The Fever Zone. WTF!!! You get the group stuck out in the open (No roof) and their voices were wasted ( When there wasn't any music blaring). They tried and you couldn't hear dick all (I was sitting on the halfway line). I'm pissed at myself for not joining them but I had other obligations - The Siggy Fan Club for starters. My apologies to the Zone for being MIA. If the hillbillies running the show down there had thought about it, the Zone would have been under a roofed part of the ground to generate noise. Now that stand I was in, was that the family stand? All around me I was surrounded by families,and babies so had to curtail my own usual performance. Although I did let out a few loud "Referee, you're a Dork" calls especially towards the end. My HN cutout made more effort than the friggen local crowd in the stand. We tried to get them going but no, they wanted to stay seated and quiet.
I can only assume it was full of Rugby fans coming along to watch. All stayed seated and clapped politely. I thought CHCH was meant to be a football hub but sadly they let themselves and the team down BIG time. Sorry CHCH but on that performance you really were disappointing. A 9.6k crowd makes me wonder if it was really worth it?
In fact our "Tour around NZ" games over the last 3 years are showing a decline in numbers is suggesting to me that the club should seriously reconsider trying to spread the word and sell a few tee shirts. If the locals can't be fucked showing up then let them be the ones missing out, keep our games in Wellington. The novelty factor has worn off. To those fellow fans whom have travelled to those "away" home games (or at least some of them, you have my total respect. You are awesome and make newbies as well as locals extremely welcome.
I Love CHCH. Ever since I was down there at Wigram during the early 80's. A beautiful city that has been shit on with the earthquakes. Something that wonderful city has never ever deserved. I like to support you down there with these trips. It has a strong football connection. But I am sorry, your numbers have seriously declined over the three games played there and there were shit loads of empty spaces. With everything else going on around the city over a two week period, I'd have thought this game would have been sold out and the stands packed. If not with locals, visitors there for Cup day etc.
Next - WTF was with that stupid music in small breaks during the second half? It was not a Rugby game, nor a cricket game and some retard kept trying yo play music. I hope David Dome has a chat to that fucken idiot! The ball was almost always back in play in less than 10 seconds. That guy was like the referee - a complete Dork!
Now the positives. Speights alehouse & bar. Awesome meals & great Beer. I missed the Cargo bar, mainly cause I got lost after leaving the Speights. A couple of Lager & Lime's on were to blame!
Another positive, those excellent $10 tee Shirts. I bought 4 of them. Excellent quality and nice and long. Well done the persons involved with them. I'm about to watch the game again and I may well come back into this and re-examin any comments I have made. My sincerest apologies to those whom I may have offended with this but as I said at the start, we all have our own opinions.
Hope all the travelling fans enjoyed themselves in Chch. Great to have you all down here and hope to see you all again next season.

I'd love for you to be proved correct Sack, but sadly, your fellow CHCH football fans have let the team down so to speak. I do thank you for making the effort - it IS / WAS appreciated.
9.6k after Napier had 9.2k - not wrth the 6 weeks on the road (in effect)....simply shows the novelty of the nix travelling show is well passed it's use by date - bring the boys back home keep them at wellington for the season - travel to napier but once a year to conicide with the U19's - use the travelling circus as a preseason thing and try to link up with under age tourneys.
Queenslander 3x a year.
Did anybody meet a real life skinhead while they were down there?
