Hoping for, and predicting, a big crowd for the season opener.
 
Got a ticket for a tag along this morning - PAX 6,299. I think, but not certain, we worked out previously that the Pax includes season tickets ?

Not bad...I'll be going with 3 others so there's another 4. Just get the tickets next week when there should be a decent rush.
 
I'll say 12,500.

How can you not be bothered? Season opener against our bunnies from last year who have Smeltzy and Moss. I'll be driving down from Palmy and making a night of it. Wouldn't miss it.

Good Point, probably will go, forgot about Smeltz and Moss coming back and the 6-0 drubbing we gave them last time, hopefully more of the same.

And the weather?  Just sit in the sheltered seats if it bothers you so much.  The only whether to be concerned about, is whether we can maintain our unbeaten home  run

Can't freakin' wait!  Can't make it but should be good.  Let's make Moss regret (more) leaving the Phoenix.  My pick for crowd: 16783.

I've picked a crowd spot on in the past and I'm going to do it again for this game.

I won't be making the trip down, but I think even without me, there will be 14,356 people.

mate..thats a bit fairweather supporter to me..you support a team..you support the team..a bit of bad weather never hurt anyone and realistically there is nothing better than live sport, particularly when your watching the nix put the hurt on GC

I live in Christchurch so I have an excuse.  Plus I have a season ticket so Terry is still raking it in.  Incidentally, will I be counted in the attendance having a season ticket or is it specifically only those which are scanned?

For a minute I had a horrible scare, thought the game was on Saturday in which case I'd miss the game due to work.  Good old Friday match!

oops my badd..I was told 8pm but didnt check.  Nix site says 7.30pm.  Revises attendance expectation although it would require a mad dash from Porirua leaving 6.50pm, find cheap car park and mad sprint to match...then in reverse to be back at Porirua at 10pm.

Can we please not jinx ourselves.   We shouldn't take them lightly, despite Smeltzy's comments earlier this year. Mossy will be here to prove a point. It'll be his first game against us at home since leaving right?

Where are these cheap carparks? Its $8 per hour where I normally park. Thats why I won't be bringing the car into town for this game.

Don't know, but I am pretty confident Mossy won't be doing too much damage...

Nope, played against us for Melbourne in the 1-1 at Etihad. He had a brilliant game, too.

In town around lunchtime today and lots of phoenix street flags are up.

Also all up around the stadium (with a small banner for the Lions vs somebody else match in the afternoon).

Yup, it's flat back four on Friday. I can see Manny getting an appearance, but with new signings is there space for Party boy?
