Should have an Epic Fan moments thread- best places you've watched or most epic stories to watch....
Most epic place I've watched a NZ club side on TV - next door to the Taj Mahal in Agra, India
Not the Nix but Auckland City in the FIFA Club World Cup December 2011
On the tele at my backpackers with about 50 Poms, Aussies, Scandinavians, Indians rooting for Auckland City one evening.
And they all learned the history of the All Whites, the Phoenix, Wynton Rufer, Ryan Nelsen etc. from me during the game
Most emotional and unusual circumstances to watch the Phoenix on TV - during the Christchurch earthquakes in the days and weeks after the September 2010 and the February 2011 quakes with massive aftershocks (holding on to the TV so it wouldn't fall off the base, intermittent power failures, buildings collapsing around me on the edge of the central city).
There was a Nix game the day after the September 4 2010 quake I watched out of town in Rangiora due to having to leave because of an unstable building next to mine in the city and general mayhem plus wanting to be with family and check on them.
5 December 2010 vs. Adelaide, AMI Stadium Christchurch - a game noted above as one of the best for Ben Sigmund's injury time hometown winner - but also occurred amongst continuing aftershocks and turned out to be one of the last sports events played at the stadium before it was destroyed in the February 2011 earthquake.
I'd returned from a holiday two days before the February 2011 quake and so was catching up on recorded Phoenix games at the time the quake hit...
It was poignant last year discovering some A-League Finals games involving Australian sides (the Nix were knocked out the weekend before the earthquake) from around the time of the February 2011 quake I'd recorded on my DVD recorder and not watched until last year - the minute's silence etc. before games.
