Guess what Flockers! Good ol’ Ernie has got his feathers on some swag and now I’m giving it away!

All you need to do is corner one of our ‘fringe’ supporters and get your photo taken with the person you intend to bring along. Throw that sucker up on Twitter (@ernieclucks) or here on the forums and you’ll be in to win.

Bonus points for any ‘celeb’ endorsements (no Smithy doesn’t count) or anyone wearing Yellow Fever gear.

Best/funniest/most awkward wins a ticket to the game on the 27th of December. It’s that simple.

Spread the word, tell your friends, enter as many goddamn times as you like because all Ernie wants for Christmas is 10k.

NOW GET FIRED UP AND GO PHOTOBOMB SOME JOURNALISTS AT PARLIAMENT*

*this may not be a good idea.

How will you know that we aren't just taking a photo with a random who has no intention of coming to the match?

I guess if you win you'll be bringing someone along at least?


Seems like a cool idea to me - although I don't know anyone famous/interesting sadly!

From what is says on twitter you are meant to be nabbing a shot of who you want to bring? As Patrick says though no reason it can't be a random.

Personally I'll be trying to convert more people from the office.

Well done all of you for turning my beautiful act of generosity into something complicated. All you need to do is take a photo of yourself (ideally in Nix/YF gear) being awesome/inappropriate with someone who doesn’t usually go to the games. Think of it as “win a ticket to bring a newbie along”

Examples of entries could be…

[PHOTO] This is  my boss Bruce, he likes eggball and thinks sitting down and being quiet is fun. I want to prove him wrong.

[PHOTO] This is David Beckham. Perhaps you’ve heard of him. He thinks Ozzy is shit and looks great in yellow.

In this example the chap with Good ol’ Golden Balls will likely win a ticket. And if he likes you enough to go to the game with you then spot on. If not, bring your Mum and she’ll have an awesome time too.

Its more about having a laugh and getting out in public in Nix gear promoting the game than who you bring.

Dec 21 according to the Mayan calendar.

Might be worth waiting to buy your tickets for the CCM game until the day, just in case.

This is David Beckham. Perhaps you've heard of him.  He thinks that John Key is thick as pigsh!t, but at least he isn't David Shearer.

I'm the one wearing glasses.



Here is another one of "Dawei" as we call him.  I'm the one not wearing red (I hate red).



Dawei and I just popping out to the dairy for a packet of Rothmans. I always wear a suit to go to the dairy - first impressions are very important.



I am just out of shot but my good buddy Dave is with my son's football team - my son has the widest smile.  A chip off the old block.


Dave says he would like to come to the match but is a bit short of the readies at the moment so a free ticket would be ace.



Do I win $5?

Charlotte is dead keen to get in the fever zone but we may have to improvise the Shirts Off rules if we're not winning at the 80 minute mark

It would t really matter either way though. It's not like when the world has ended you're going to go "damn now I'm $30 out of pocket because that nix game won't be going ahead" - you'll be dead.

I'd be annoyed since I wouldn't have needed to buy a season ticket.

Surely would have been an instant winner if you got both the sisters. Well done mate, that's going straight to the pool room.
