Realize its only just been announced but wonder if there will be any thought given to a Fever Bus trip to the Ring of Dirt on the 14th of January.
Fever on Tour The Return to the Ring of Dirt
Hopefully they can sort something out to bring people up here. I worry that with it being so close to Xmas, will someone in Fever HQ have the spare time to do the leg work?
For locals like me, I'm hoping there might be some kind of public appearances and open training session like the last time they played here

What's the point? Isn't the game on the 28th January?

I'll do some investigating.
Day trip? Or overnight?

Overnight is much harder because we'd need to sort accommodation and I think it has less of appeal.
I'm getting a quote for a day trip so I'll see what the cost comes to. We'll probably have to set a minimum number of sales.

Leave Jacinda out of this!

Christ I remember UB40 playing in Palmy when I was a Massey student in the 1990s. Obviously enjoy the Manawatu more than John Cleese.
There was a good reson for only playing 1 game prteviously at the ROD.
The gale force Northerly for the whole game with a wind chill factor of minus 1. Then there was the chicken wire fence keeping us from being within 100+ yards from the pitch and no real view.
Except that stand. It has to hold at least 300 people on Gold Seat tickets.
I'd been going there when in the RNZAF in 1981 for the Stock Cars. And all they have ever done to improve things, is replace the wooden blanks with plastic bucket seats. All the money made from the Rugby Union and from the Stock Cars and no real reinvesment.
Frankly, the club would have been better off allowing Stock Car races to go on during play, fans would be able to see the cars better than the football.
Or you could kill the time watching the Wind Turbine at one end of the ground.

Would you rather they took another home game to Woolongong then?

This. We are pretty much the last option the Nix had to host it in NZ.

Can't play there during cricket season cuz of the wicket block.

New Plymouth dates didn't work for us but haven't discussed in the future. NP has some contractual issues as well they are working thru.

At least it is comfortable driving distance.
Can drive there, watch the game, and drive home after.
And Gooner can enjoy a few drinks since they don't have to drive as far home after as usual.

These kind of decisions are never taken lightly, I'd guarantee that as soon as they know Sky Stadium is unavailable the spend months looking for other options before locking them in. Napier has a cricket pitch in the middle of it so that's a no go. Most other smaller grounds in NZ wouldn't meet the league's lighting, media facility requirements.
Would probably have been announced even earlier if what Domey said was correct. Sure i heard him say somewhere that they had contacted the Palmerston North events team but they never got back to them. Would also imagine the Ring of Dirt wasnt their 1st choice.

That was a reply to me on Twitter, with regards to Palmy hosting a ALW match.

So went to look at tickets for the ROD has anybody else noticed the only area at the ground with the no drinks symbol next to it is the Fever zone. Or is that just my browser
When I look, the only area with the no drinks symbol is the Family Zone. I'm looking on the flicket site. Why aren't tickets for sale through Ticketek?

Got an email today with details on how to secure your free ticket for the game, if you are a season ticket holder.
