R17 vs CCM | Sat 30th Jan | 7:15pm | AMI Stadium + Spectators

As long as security are in the know then who cares.

Probably the punters who will have a bit of a negative experience at the game because of those fecking wgtn bastards.

(even tho it's actually of their own doing) 

I phoned the Phoenix hotline today and got Brenda. She e-mailed me a ticket straight away in aisle 9. She told me she was finishing at 3pm today and not back until the 7th of January and that other Ticketek staff would have to help if my friends also wanted tickets. Had a friend phone after 3pm wanting to get a ticket from their season pass and was told they didn't know how to do it and to phone back on the 7th when Brenda is back.

That's allgood everyone just stand and there will be a max of a couple of vocally annoyed people.  Also this game has to crack 10k

16,700 fans would put us 4th on average attendance. A bit high but just shows us how close we are. 13,100 fans would give us an average attendance of 10,000. I would say that 13,100 mark has to be the goal. Also this ignores our next home game at the rof

Stuck in the corner like a leper is better?

Is there a pub or anything people hit before the game ?

Yes. Working on it.

What if the tickets were called "Yellow Fever Zone Standing".

People more curious could then read into what it entails (if they get a seat etc).  that way they are actually selecting standing "seats".

We've asked for them to be changed to exactly that after the Fourth Annual Auckland Debacle a month ago (well actually Yellow Fever Standing Zone, but close enough).

Nix sent that request through to Ticketek for us but doesn't appear that the change has been made yet. But I agree that this is a good way to mitigate the problem.

Yellow Fever Standing Zone is better.  But that would be good if they could fix that.  If someone buys a standing zone ticket then they only have themselves to blame if there is standing going on.

Exactly. 

Pax: 2573 & 2574

Cool, please keep in touch re this mate. The wife and I are heading down for the game. need pre and post game bars lol

So this will be our big chance to see Luis Garcia in action?

Am looking forward to this game but I might end up missing my first game. Fudge it.

Wheelchair allocation sold out. Big Pete do you have your mate sorted?

So I am not able to attend this game (Got a wedding to go to), but I have claimed my member tickets anyway as PDFs and sent them to a friend in Christchurch to go to the game. 

I encourage others to do this also, if you don't know anyone in Christchurch let me know and we can arrange for your tickets to go to someone. The more people we get to the game, the better #Metrics.

Can contact me at Matt at yellowfever dot co dot nz.

Can claim your tickets by calling Ticketek with your member number 04 384 2457

Great I'll see if I can rally a few troops up and let you know.  Am also available to help with Ronald McDonald House if needed.

Has Round 19 become Round 17 for us?

I'm going down for it and have scored a couple of tickets off season ticket friends to give to family in Chch who are coming along for their first game

It will be interesting to see if Luis Garcia creates any additional interest in this game 
The Mariners obviously think there'll be a lot of interest in Gosford as they've said there will be a bay set aside for Liverpool fans on Saturday night when the club hosts the Wanderers

You can identify us easily at the Spectators Bar as those guys with a craftie in our hand and not a Tui

13,000 plus. Biggest crowd at Gosford for 3 years acc to Fox.

True. It'll be more interesting to see if Garcia creates additional interest in CCM when they're playing away. But it's a tricky metric to measure.

Didn't see huge evidence of Liverpool Bay for Garcia (though it was signposted); a few pasty Scousers wearing their colours.

Easily 3-4,000 Wanderers fans in that croud metric.

In the National Youth League final it was boys v men as Sydney easily accounted for Adelaide 5-2.

Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere more obvious but are there buses to and from the stadium from somewhere in the central city? If not, what is the easiest way to get there? I guess I could take a cab but it might be pricey.

The Metroinfo site ( http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/ ) has a pretty decent trip planner.
Haven't heard anything about special buses so the orange route would be your best bet. Goes through town then down Lincoln Road (about a 5/10 minute walk from the stadium) about every 15/20 minutes between 4 & 6pm. It'll take about 30 min from town to the stadium. Getting back it runs half hourly from 9:30 on. If you're heading in from the suburbs get the Orbiter which does a loop of the inner suburbs (doesn't go through the city center) and has stops on Whiteleigh ave which is also a 5/10 minute walk from the stadium. 

So Dura and Lia out im pretty sure.

Yip both out for 5 yellows, think Siggy is out so that leaves either Moss or Manny to be captain I think.

Moss I'd say.

we are so fudged

Lia getting a fitth yellow for punching the ball away, stupid.
