Phoenix v West Ham | Wed 23rd | Eden Park | 7:30pm | Faltering Fullback

Match thread. Get down here pre game. They are good buggers.

Chance to see McGlinchey for the first time?

You Pub?

How far away is that pub from the stadium?

Just a stagger away

McGlinchey unlikey for whole tour.

It makes it finally seem like we are actually playing against an EPL team seeing "Phoenix vs West Ham" in a match thread title.

Cant wait for this. Should be a good night. Anyone else going?

No kwlap, I think you're the only one on this forum who's going. ;)

If I win lotto between now and then, I will come up.

I'll be there, which will probably drive most of you away.

Maybe you could change the venue at the last minute, leave me a message on the phone about it, then when I call you back tell me you'll email me details of the new venue, then email details of the old venue, then when I call you back claim you know nothing about it but promise that someone else will call me back, then don't call me back.

But then you're not Ticketek so this will probably be OK.

Good sense of humour X.

I'm up in Auckland for work so will be popping along.  Result!  Free airfares and accommodation...... 

Wow. All you need now is free ticket for Mermaids

Perhaps he hasn't mentioned that to protect the guilty? Have a good time Cosimo.

Good idea - I'll have a chat to Hard News........

It was a match ticket I was offering you.

A full day of travel awaits before Sam Allardyce and his team arrive in Auckland, with a game against Wellington Phoenix first up next Wednesday.

The Hammers then conclude the tour by taking on Sydney FC and skipper Kevin Nolan cannot wait.

He said: "I've never done a full day's travelling before so it'll be interesting to see how we handle it, but we're looking forward to seeing what New Zealand's all about. It's going to be great with the full houses for the games."

Full Houses?

Obviously he's never been to Auckland before.

I think he means the cafes

Could be a good thing - when they're busy counting the fans we can get an early goal!

Are Cosimo and cosmo are different fellows are they not LG? Or are they...?

Do you know a rough PAX? Also how many travelling West Ham fans are there going to be (or fans in the West Ham area)? Be good to get some back and forth with songs/chants

We are indeed totally different (in so many ways.....)   People often get it wrong.

Remember the old adage "there's no "i" in team Cosmo"  ;)

<p>Deleted post.</p><p>Because I'm a fuckwit !</p>

My favourite post of the off season so far!

I'd like to know what you deleted so I could make an informed opinion. I have had experience in this field in the past on here.

"Sorry if I've missed it in the other thread, but, where are we going to be in the stadium? I seem to recall murmurings about changing tickets from section 402 to 200, or something like that."

Patrick478, you bastard!, you have ruined any mystique there was surrounding my fuckwittery! 

RAGE

Your Aura of incompetence is destroyed.

Hey people.

I have 1x child ticket going spare for the game (Fever Zone) .  Best $$$ offer will be accepted. 

Potentially will have an adult ticket as well but will keep ya'll posted.

Tell your friends.

Children in the fever zone? What sort of parent are you?

Ha! Me?! LOL! I am no kind of parent at all!!! Jeez, I think we can all agree I would be a failure as a parent.

It was for a friends kid. 

The very best kind...

Does this now mean that I am competent?

For the record - here is the plan for some of us:

Staying in town, so will start at The Fox (Viaduct Basin) - will be there some time after 1400.

Free trains with match ticket are from 3 hours before KO (which is 1930).

Train to Faltering Fullback (Eden Park) at 1638. (Mmm ... this pub did yummy cheesy chips and curry sauce last time we were there! - I have FB'd them to check they still do them!)

> Game

Probably straight onto train back to town. (But maybe back to Faltering Fullback - TBD.)

In town - The Fox. Or maybe straight to Danny Doolans!
