The kick-off is at 7.30 (or supposed to be, probably will kick off around 7.35 though).

Careful, last time I grabbed a foot-long after seeing a football player it resulted in a night in the cells.

I'm thinking of heading off at three and buying a Dom on the way down.  Worst case I can do a Sudoku.

i am thinking the crowd could be closer to 10k... someone else said 5k sold already - so many people will not pre-buy since it obviously won't sell out. There has been a bit of exposure over the past few days, and there's also the free kids deal - could be a decent crowd in boys, get your voices out

That's it.

There is a pub in this city where the publican owes me free beer.  I'm off to the Bencher to collect.

Laters.

Meanwhile...
Quietly nervous. Bit of that pre match anticipation....
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I'm setting up my DVD recorder so hopefully I can put the goals or anything else up on youtube.

However if it goes to pens I won't get those since I can only record for 2 hours :/

Just noticed that the TAB has now offering odds on the game now.

$25 for Melb/Phoenix half/full time double is tempting given we havent scored a goal in the 1st half so far.

It just isn't practical, you feverittes down in the capital and me at the other end of the island
The problem is the gap - between us on the map
And there's no easy way to reconcile it
I wish I was in Wellington.....
 
Have fun tonight and give Ernie an earful!

That's on Willis Street, right?
 
In that case, easiest thing to do is pop along to the Phoenix Shop on the corner of Dixon Street and Cuba Mall to buy your tickets. It will save queuing at the stadium.
 
It's general admission, so don't worry about specifying ticket locations. Just head to the backbencher and then follow the noise to aisle 21/22.
