The shirtless muppet at the front of the Zone with paint on his back has become a staple of Home and Away games (see: Auckland, Dunedin, Napier).


He came up the back and was standing next to me for a bit and he was fine. 

Rowdy, but you need some of that energy. Don't be hating.

As was just said - it's a balance.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Yeah I was saying at the game, you can always pick a local at these games, they're always exactly the same as that guy. That's not to say all locals are like that, just the ones who treat it like a sevens party zone is usually local. 

Am trying to remember if we got people like that in season 1, and the zone as a whole kind of stamped it out over time. But honestly can't remember, can anyone else?


The Zone was pretty hedonistic when I first joined it at the end of Season 1. 

Sadly I think everyone in it has just grown older in the last few years. Even people like Feverish aren't hitting the Turbo Shandys like they once did.

The days of JD (allegedly) biffing a bottle down the tunnel have faded.

But, we don't want to turn it into the Family Zone either. Rugby have that market covered!

Less Saturday night games as well. They use to go off.

Was the same for White Noise in early days. I remember the 2008 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup match between NZ and Colombia in Wellington. Bunch of muppets turn up completely hammered and started lighting fireworks, shooting them towards the field and hitting security guards.

Worst weather I have ever watched a football game in too by the way.

No weather can beat it when on that Tuesday night make up game we had a few years back, it peed down all game. I think just over 3k of us showed up. 

At least that shirtless muppet wasn't as bad as those ones standing behind me Patrick. "Clark Kent" broke that ladies I Phone screen.
