Nix game in Auckland

Nix game in Auckland

Any body up for going to a pub in aucks friday for the game? maybe in town somwere? if any body has any ideas?

Yep we're gonna be going to one. I know edward who posts on here was at Speakers corner in Browns Bay, I was down in welly so yeah probably gonna head to Speakers corner as its local and that.

That guy will probably be keen if you can track him down.

would be his shout on the drinks i guess

Was thinking maybe the Paddington Bar - they have quite a bit of football on. One thing's for sure - forget the Kingslander - it was leaguey central on Sunday arvo, and there were a few punters there not too happy when the big screen was flipped to Sky sports 2. One guy even booed when the Phoenix equalised, and I dont think he was from Melbourne!

I went to the Cadrona Speights Ale house over the weekend and they were showing the Nix. 

Nice pub, in Mt eden and close to trains etc.  Could be a goer?

Would be awesome to get a pub onboard who will show every game live!

i thort in town would be good then it would b easy 4 evry1 to get in, then maybe a trip down could be sorted out

I'm working in Auckland this week and my hotel does not have SS3, so I will be looking for somewhere to watch the game - preferably in the City. Keep this thread informed as to developments.

iv got a party in town that nite so i think ill head 2 the fiddler or murphys irish bar by sky city as i guess these bars will be showing the game..

I m going to the Cadrona tonight and will try and find out if they will promise to cover all games live and maybe get onboard with a bit of AKYELLOWFEVER .

It would be quality if you could establish a critical mass of YF and a base in Akl - will provide a platform for launching northern raids for any future Phoenix or All Whites matches up there.

yeh the cardrona would be good thats got a nice big screen, also would be good then we could ma.b sort car pools or buses somthing along those lines down 2 welly 4 the nix games

One of my friends and I are also thinking of finding a bar in town to watch the game friday night. I don't want to end up watching the game on some little TV with no volume, while the pubs big TV is on the NRL. So if anyone knows a pub in town that will definetly have the game, with volume, then please post a reply.

i think Cadrona will be showing the league tonite. i think there would be a good support base in auckland if we can get a pub confirmed. it'll be a bit easier to watch it at pubs after the league season

Rang Speakers Corner - their showing the game

Bugger. That's about 20kms away. Still, if I can't find anywhere else it remains an option. Thanks though.

Yeah thanks. Like SiNZ I'm still hoping to find a place in town (anywhere from the Viaduct up to K-Road) that will definetly be showing it.

Yep if you dont find anywhere though. Bus 875 straight from the City right to BB, walk round the corner and voila

Fox's Ale House will be showing the NRL in the front bar and The Phoenix in the back bar

Thanks for finding that out SiNZ, there's a good chance I'll end up at Foxs.

Blast, the missus now has a shift at the hospital covering for someone whose called in sick, so I'm stuck with the kids.  Looks like the radio webstreaming for me.  Darn, was going to find out who the Arsenal brigade were at the Speakers Corner BB and have a Guiness.

Saved your self the hassle. 2 of us rang in the day, asked him if hes showing the nix game. He says definetly yes. We get there then some f**king Indians running the show and their putting on the rugby in an english bar. WHAT A f**kING LOAD OF sh*t. Dont like Speakers anymore

So you didn't get to see it Wolfben?

My mate and I went into Fox's at about 9.30, and could tell by how loud the music was there was no way we would be getting any commentary or volume so decided to leave and go watch it at his house.

Did anyone have any luck finding a bar in Auckland that showed the game, with volume?
