#FeverTour - Christchurch 9th November

I've managed to miss the accommodation bullet by crashing at a mates. Must keep my 100% record of attending games in the South Island!

Marshy, is it a double bed? I can be the big or little spoon, I don't mind.

Dude when you play an away game, you don't ask what spoon you can be. You get told.

Tea, desert or Soup?

I've been around....

Cheers Pete. I ended up booking at Southwark Apartments, seemed to be halfway between the Stadium and the pub, so was a perfect location for me.

Think you may have found the old AMI Stadium on Google Maps (Ex-"Lancaster Park"/ "Jade Stadium") in Philipstown/Woolston. Southwark Apartments are NOT halfway between the NEW AMI Stadium and the Cargo Bar (which are quite close together down Lincoln Road).

(From previous posts, I take it that the Cargo Bar 359 Lincoln Rd is the supporters' pub for the match?)

But no problem for you, because you're not too far from both stadium and pub:

Here is Southwark Apartments on Google Maps - to find the new AMI Stadium, just click at the top left and move left along Moorhouse Ave. till you get to the Park, then turn left down Lincoln Rd. clicking appropriately till you see the new AMI Stadium off Lincoln Rd (turn right down Whiteleigh Ave. & then left on Jack Hinton Drive). About 10 mins by taxi to the stadium for you - or if the weather's good and you want exercise, a thirty minute walk. There are also regular buses down Moorhouse Ave.

Patrick you dun goofed

Thanks Pete, I did have the wrong one. Am I still pretty close to both the pub and the actual stadium? Haven't paid yet so can still move closer if I need to.

WARNING TO ALL NOT FAMILIAR WITH POST-EARTHQUAKE CHRISTCHURCH (some All Whites supporters from out of town made the same mistake last October for the Tahiti World cup qualifier):

Be careful with Google Maps as it will sometimes direct you to the OLD AMI Stadium which is due for demolition.

The supporter's venue, the Cargo Bar is down Lincoln Rd back towards Hagley Park and the city centre to the right of the map.

Just a curiosity......how come we are going to cargo bar when spectators is the home of chch based fever?

Lots of match publicity on the stadium mangement company VBase's website, including a "march" from Cargo Bar to the stadium:

Thanks for the info Pete, good to know. I did get caught out with Google giving me the wrong AMI stadium

Cargo Bar is the place to be on November 9th! Will be pumping!

Yeah was mostly a timing thing. Tis what it tis. Cargo will be cranking.

All good I'll be there!  Have seen billboards, ads on backs of buses, heard radio ads and they've had features in race week newspaper lift-outs so getting plenty of publicity.

So. Because Chch has been difficult logistically (accommo etc) we aren't as centralised as we usually are. People are staying all over.

Can everyone help me out by: following the YF twitter for what we're doing, and by telling everyone they've ever met to come to Cargo Bar before AND after the game. 

ChCh should be Iffy's 100th game for the Nix. Hope people come out and cheer him on.

[Edit: It will also be Dura's 132nd game, beating Lochhead's record 131 games.]

For anyone thinking about traveling to the game air nz has $60 flights each way from paraparaumu airport . $59 each way until December .

don't know if it is cheap but thought i'd mention it.

Hatter will be interested.

I have my Kazoo packed in my bag already. Can't wait.

Now that is dedication. Do we all have to bring them along?

Hell yes. 

PAX as of 4:30pm today 5496

Does the cargo bar have a dance floor and a DJ as good as the awesome sounds put out by the thirsty whale in Napier.

Sure does.

As apparently so are Dorklanders, Bay folk and Wellingtonians.

too far out to take any weather forecasts seriously yet
