Nix v WSW Sunday 4:30pm + ASB Prem Curtain Raiser + 10 millionth fan

Bloody cold day, howling gale, perhaps should have stayed home like numerous soft cocks do!!! Sod that, there to support my team whatever the weather and how they are playing, harden the f*** up and get along to support!  Courtesy of that poor effort by us (the supporters as a group) we now hold the record as the lowest crowd in the league this season!!! Sure some decent weather would be nice but FFS we live in Wellington. Crap weather is our lot! Harden the F*** up, and get your collective arses to the match. If we can not manage a crowd of 10k, why should Welnix continue to support with cash???

Rant over 

Cos our Gareth likes to get his kit off in public?

I am greatly offended AJ13.

This will take some getting over.

It was freezing, and with 2 teams playing that I didn't give a shit about. So sue me for not turning up.

 Lol at freezing. Harden up you ponce. Its the same shit you had to sit through for the Nix. I just dont see why people couldnt turn up, if for nothing else then the good of the game.

 agreed.....I'll always be there fore the nix but curtain raisers that are mesningless (to me) won't get me there earlier. Besides it would cost me more in chips and beer.

Err ok. 

I turned up for the Phoenix didn't I? 

Why you expect 1000s of people in wellington to turn up on a pretty crap windy day to watch Waikato play manawatu is beyond me. 

 our game was the least tweeted about :(

This tbf.

A few hundred for that match would be an achievement, and that's if either of them were actually at home!

Club will be concerned this morning about that attendance yesterday, but it wasn't a surprise. The 4.30 k.o is geared for families, and there's no way M, D and the kids were gonna get blown to bits just walking up from the railway station, let alone at the game. Good idea to weight our programme with away games early on. Oct/Nov is always when the gales kick-in.

Not sure why people aim there rants on here about attendance figures,its mostly us that turn up in all sorts of weather.As soon as you saw what the weather was like yesterday there was no way anyone should have expected a much bigger crowd.It hasnt happened in our past and wasnt likely to happen yesterday either.

Dear Mr T

My client has advised me to inform you that with regard to your non-attendance at yesterday's quality ASBP match at the Westpac Stadium AND your statement above:

1. It was not freezing (where freezing is 0 degrees centigrade)

2. You should have given a shit about the two teams playing (Dairy Province A vs Dairy Province B)

Furthermore it has come to our attention that your avatar contains no reference at all to any character from Planet of The Apes.

As a result of these flagrant breaches of something as per the "Angry of Mayfair Act" ca 1980s, my client has sought damages  and compensation and has lodged a claim against you in the really, really small claims tribunal.  He also wants your current avatar.

In the meantime you should cease and desist from whatever it is that you did to offend my client.  Failure to do so will result in another sternly worded letter and time out on the naughty step.

With much warmth and hugs

Yeah i admit I had a lot less interest in this game in terms of social media as I usually would. The forums have been pretty quiet - but I think it is getting to that time of year where everyone is busy

Water does not freeze at zero degrees celcius.

Regards

Mr Richard Pedant

Thanks R Pedant.

(Are you referring to snow or freezing point depression?)

I will be referring to my lawyer for clarification.  If it is the case I will be stalking my former science teachers.

0 degrees is the temperature that ice melts, not water freezing

Dear Mr Pedant

Junior is an ass.  I like you.

Do you want to be a lawyer like me?

Much hugs and stuff like that

I am pretty sure that ice will melt if I leave it out in 30 degree heat...

It will be somewhat cold and about as dark as the inside of your @rse.

If I knew how to make one, I would start a thread, solely for the lawyers amongst us on this site for intelligent discussion. My fridge has a light

we looked far far more dangerous when we kept the ball on the deck

One suggestions could be to play some of your home games in December in Auckland/CHCH/Dunedin (covered stadium) to take advantage of the novelty value bringing in crowds and avoid the worst of the Welly winds. Fewer games in Wellington may make it more palatable for the part-time good weather supporters.

It's not any more windy in December than it is during the rest of the year. It just happens to have been very windy for the past few home games. Moving games away from Wellington because of the wind would be the silliest reasoning ever.

Dunedin is only good when the students are there, so that's pre-season or end of the season.

This is the first time I've started to worry about crowds this season. Up until now we have had our 2nd highest average crowd figure to start the season, but we have had bigger crowds in much worse conditions than yesterday.

If you live in Wellington and get put off doing something because of wind, you might need to start re-thinking your life choices.

It really wasnt even that bad... (the weather that is)
