on Ticketek it said no Fever zone tickets. I might just get silver tickets and just wander over to the Fever and just stand in an aisle

Last weekend quite a few people missed the start of the game because they were queuing for tickets (well, that and because they turned up too close to the start of the game with no ticket).

I was under the impression that the golden goal had been canned years ago.
It was.
 
It's 2 x 15-minutes of extra-time , then penalties.

Centrebet have it close but are giving shortest odds on Nix 1-0. That would be my pick with Greeny scoring.
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

This will be my first game - being 18 and in Auckland makes it kind of hard! Bussing down Saturday night, Bussing back Monday, might not be very pleasant but keeps things cheap I guess. Can't wait for Sunday.

   Win or lose you will enjoy it, but make sure you get there early, and especially so if you haven't already got your ticket, as I'm picking there will be huge queues on the day, and many frustrated punters turning up at the last minute expecting to get in straight away.

I have been nominated to put 22 tickets on my credit card tomorrow morning.

However, I am concerned about where we are going to be sitting/standing/chanting.

My season ticket is in aisle 23 which is basically sold out (the odd single seat is still available). Aisle 20-22, which obviously would have been even better, is gone and there is hardly anything left in aisle 19.

Fingers crossed that we do not end up too far away from the atmosphere as tops off with ten to go may be a wee bit off-putting for some of the more civilized fans!

Request to YF Exec: For one match only, any chance of expanding the Fever Zone?

Tops off with ten to go has been happening far outside the zone in the last few home games I've been to.

Last game (Nix CCM 14k crowd) I managed to snag two YF zone tickets about 2 hours before the game - paid silver too. Having the whole YF zone sold out days before the game should tell you something about the crowd size considering last game's was very impressive. Only thing worrying me is how many of those 14k people were kids which were let in for free. My crowd estimate is 20k tbh.

Long term weather forecast good for sunday, "sunny spells and cloudy periods northerlies breezy at times" sounds pretty good to me, 20k plus should be no problem. Another great wellington weekend. Go the Nix still planning for the final bring it on.

Impressive Braveheart, the flybuys points could just about get you to J'burg 

 re expanding feverzone, News, Smithy etc could confirm but I'd be thinking it's too late to officially extend the fever zone
 
be interesting to see if pockets of fans find a space outisde the zone to stand and  sing

Unofficially designate aisle 12 as an alternate?  Makes a nice counterpoint to 21! 
 
I hope there's a decent away section too, bit of a novelty last November and it's be good to see again.

Dammit. i could have been down this week for a business trip and extend my stay till Sunday. But got commitments (albeit parties) up here on Saturday.

A last minute dash down the North Island is not yet out of the question...

Might have missed those games due to homework commitments. Maybe just as well, coz if PHS U14 had won the South Auckland (North) comp, the Ricki may have chosen  a different career path - a P.E. Teacher maybe...
