Is that the Aussie Jets starting 11, that you are asking about??
 
I think they have all recieved parole, but i don't know if they've been released as such.

Normal practise is that they don't release starting elevens until an hour or so before kickoff.  Squad of 15 named tomorrow I think.

Can wait for this one Lads. First out of Australia away trip.

Cant wait to hear you blokes make some atmosphere in the ground. Just a tad hard with only 2 newi fans ( that i know of) heading over.

Timmy Brown still owes me a beer, so ill defo be hitting him up for one.

Im hoping a jets win, but im think it will be a draw.

So heart says 3-1 jets, Head says 1-1 draw.

Possible jets line-up will be:


---------------------Covic

Eags--------North-------A griffiths--------Thommo

-------------Kohler-------Wheelhouse

-------------------Denni

---J Griffiths----Tunbridge----Hoffman

Res.

McNamarra
D'Apuzzo
Spencer
Drovandi/Hearfield

I'm aiming for a 12 train, but that could all come horribly undone if Mrs. News changes my mind.

How's my driving? - Whine here

 We are bringing the father in law along so it should be good. We are at home and I can't wait. 
 
I took my wife, my mother-in-law and father-in-law to the last game and they all had a superb time and are now season ticket holders in the Fever zone!

I  bought a retro shirt on friday around lunch time, they actually had a 2XL at Champs - that guy has an awesome attitude by the way. Very helpful unlike another more official establishment. Anyway, I was getting some stares around the cuba Street area and out in Lower Hutt where I next went shopping. I've been spreading the word at work so hopefully a few might show up.
 
A sunny day too, so it could be all on - The house of Noise! Now to find some cheap car parking!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

You fashanista you
 
No wind, the suns out its going to be a great day, my only issue today is that I can't go to the back bencher before the game to pre lubrecate  as I have a course until about 4:30, on the up side the course is actually at the stadium so I score free parking
 
Roll on 5pm

Remember to get there early!!  We'll be planning a 4.15 depart from the BB but if you need to buy a ticket head down to the concourse today and pick one up.  We want every person in the ground before kick off making a hell of a lot of noise!!

your not the only one getting looks. Heading through Cuba and Manner Mall in my Jets Jersey was crazy. Just about everyone said something like GO Phoenix, or stop to ask us abou the Jets and stuff. Good to see that football is rising in wellington.

Welcome to our site Jets fan - Timmy. I hope you enjoy your trip on this side of the ditch. Should be a good game. Hope you like our stadium.
 
 
Shabba, I know the thought about not making it. I did a shift swap and have just woken up from a night shift.

I can't do either! The only music played is J2 streamed through SKY and the 4 TVs have Juice, J2, Sky Sport 1 and BBC News 24. I can't change any of them because its all linked to the main box that I don't trust myself with.
