Anyone having trouble with the ticketek website recently? I dont seem to be able to buy 8 tickets in a row anywhere in the stadium

While I'm hoping that's due to a near sell-out I suspect that's not the case.

Was in the nix shop today. asked about ticket sales, chap said going very well and - if I remember correctly -" the under cover seats in the open part of the ground had all but sold out..."

So I'm guessing  8,000 - 10,000 so far

Gourdie mentioned this when we talked to him here, very unusual preparation for them.  Is Smeltzy trying to dodge the NZ media perhaps?

Normo's coming home

I'm picking around 12k.

I am a tad disappointed with the membership sales (5k was suggested at the beginning) and ticket sales for the first match (would like to see 15k+ heck maybe even 18k).

I think Oceanic 6 had some stats from previous seasons - although a Friday night game is not the same as a Sunday afternoon game in terms of spectator demography.

I will be horribly disappointed if this is the case.

1,000 per day doesn't sound too bad though...?
Just a shame it wasn't 1,000 tickets a day from 30 days ago.

13000 would be aq solid start for the season, if the nix win well then it will go up for the next few home games.....

One of the benefits of Facebook stalking is you get to see there statuses. Latest from Reece Crowther:

"Reece Crowther: Great... Fractured rib 2 days before season kicks off. See you in 6 weeks :("

Not good news at all. Then Tony Pignata makes a comment about Gouldie having to be on the bench.

Was at that practice today (Mr_Incredible finally got the day right), looked nasty I thought he clipped it in the face at first

Ball got away from Mac on a one on one and he slid in with the striker instinct as Crowther came running out

Lucky Culina didn't make the socceroos otherwise they might have selected someone good.

Crowther didn't look well at all.

Also Daniel went down at one stage with some sort of problem - any word on his condition?

Gold Coast are not training in Wellington.
Training before they head over here. Gutted. I wanted to get some gear signed.

We had better get another keeper in IMO. Said we should've gone for Moss too (probably would've chosen GC anyway).

Nice preview on the nix website.

Takes the line of most consecutive unbeaten games at a venue (being the record or the A-League and 2nd in Oz national league history).

the lad's been a bit unlucky since he's got back

puts a bit of pressure on Pasty and his lucky rabbit's foot

If Pasty gets injured we're in some trouble... better hope Miramar loose to East Coast Bays (not really) and someone can talk Phil Imray in to it.

I'm positive a new keeper will be signed next week if Crowther is confirmed out for 6 weeks.

Hmm if we are without Daniel as well tomorrow night then things get interesting:

                  Paston
Muscat Sigmund Durante Lochhead
           Brown          Lia
Bertos       Greenacre           Ifill
               MacCallister

Bench would be:
Gould, Toto, Hearfield, Pavlovich

So only Marco the fit one to miss out? Don't even know if hes fit?

from 442 article:

"Without the luxury of flying in team owner Clive Palmer's personal jet, United have been forced to depart the Gold Coast late tonight with an arrival in New Zealand expected to be just after midnight on Friday.

Cutting a very fine line, Miron Bleiberg's men will then have less than 24 hours to prepare for the action at Westpac Stadium due to kick-off the same day at 7:30pm (5:30pm AEST)."

How the mighty have fallen. Hopefully customs will give them a welcome with open arms and hands outstretched?
