League Table 2018/19 | #WeWantSixth

Really enjoying the fact that we are not currently chasing a Top 6 finish and we are in full control of our own destiny. We only have to worry about our own results. Good times!

Lets GO CCM - Leading 1-0 over jets

3-0, giving the Jets a -2 goal difference. helps us brilliantly.

3-2 CCM with about 5 min to go  Cmon CCM

Doing us a massive favour here CCM! Great turnaround for them after last week.

I think making 'celebratory' posts about games still going on should be banned in this thread. That was so close to yet another horrific jinx.

* Thanks 2ndBest

8*

Just cranked some numbers for you all. The average points at the end of the season for teams in the Top 6. (Between 2012-2018)

• Average points for team finishing 1st - 56 Points
• Average points for team finishing 2nd - 49 Points
• Average points for team finishing 3rd - 43 Points
• Average points for team finishing 4th - 41 Points
• Average points for team finishing 5th - 39 Points
• Average points for team finishing 6th  - 36 Points

So we'll need 2 wins and a draw from our last 5 games to meet the average of a 4th placed finish. 

It is achievable, just need to believe in themselves (and get lucky with some VAR decisions).

i would like to think we could win 4 of the last 5 games, will be an interesting 5 games of football that's for sure.

Its gonna be one hell of a ride!!!

In the Hawkes Bay fever bus?

Beginning my Annual end of season results permutations to calculate where we might finish on the ladder before I lock any trip in.

Worst case scenario is that I will be down for the Citeh match, unless we are almost certain of a 4th or higher finish.

Looks like teams will need more points than the average to finish in those positions this season.

Yeah its been us not the Gypsies!

I need some ADMIN assistance from some helpful people...

I am definitely keen to fly up for the Nix if they get a home playoff game. The thing I need to know is when to book flights for? and is it a bit of a guessing game.

Firstly... When do we know 100% what date our home game is? Is it after round 27? Or are the two dates pre locked in and then whoever finishes 3rd gets a Friday and whoever finishes 4th gets a Sunday for example?

Basically, do I need to guess what flights to book or can I make an educated guess or what? Someone must have some experience in this.

Cheers team

Surely if we have locked in 4th spot 2 weeks early, then we know the likely date it'd be?

Just remember, anything is possible with the FFA - They are a law unto themselves.

Yep, a 7:30pm Sunday game will definately bring a big crowd to the Stadium. Although a 3pm game could work.

This chat is a massive jinx. 

Depends if we end up contending for 2nd or 7th, the way I see it anything except 1st, 8th, 9th and 10th is up for grabs so we can't really lock anything in until round 26 is complete

I thought many years ago that was revised and there was at least some sharing of the gate takings between the club and the FFA?

Or maybe that was just talked about and wasn't actually changed?

The Blues are away to the Brumbies that weekend so Eden Park is available...

Surely some Australian venues must be free?

First official fixture at the Wandertards new ground?
