R23 vs Newcastle Jets | Sat 30th Mar | 7:35pm | Westpac Stadium

Really looking forward to this, even the weather seems to look like it might be playing ball.

Any news on how tickets sales are going? Really hope that some of those who are pissed off with CubaDupa going "off street" might head to the game instead as I doubt many would have done both. 

Kopa deserves a start, as does burgess imo.  Would like to see Valeo's first line up I think.  Then we have a decent weapon coming off the bench in Singh

Hasn't done much wrong at all, in recent games. I think he's looked better at RCB than LCB, playing well.

But for this game, keeping Kopa on the bench means is a fresh pair of legs to cover Mandi and Rufer. If Kopa starts, you have one sub, Burgess (or Singh), covering the whole mid and forward line, and Golec Lowry and Doyle (or Gulley) covering the back three (and wingbacks).

I prefer Golec at LCB anyway - left footed, slightly better at playing out IMO, and extra height, better in the air, especially at corner time.

Was just at the Rudan presser ahead of the game, Burns is injured. Otherwise, the squad is fully fit. 

Your having a laugh with this one...

Kopa is also left footed, just shows how comfortable he is off his right that you haven't noticed this. 

yeah I know Kopa's also left footed - but in a couple of games he seemed short of ideas at LCB - back to the keeper or hospital pass to Libby. YMMV. There's no denying Golec is taller, a threat at attacking corners, and that Kopa can cover DM - where Golec can't. 

Have to say I don't mind too much either way; both playing well.

Tuesday:

"FACT: Sat's game v @NewcastleJetsFC is strongest pre-sale @WestpacStadium this season"

Cool!

Its good to see the Jets have been moved to Wellington so the A-League can have more derbies too

Playing at the same time as the Newcastle Phoenix v Newcastle Jets?

Just bought a Child's ticket for in the Zone (Bringing an extra child to the game) $5 = Bargain!! 

Pax 10,042 !!

Can Dome please NOT start any twitter update with the word FACT.
It makes me think of a mix between Trump and Dwight from The Office... Not good!

Jeez, well over 24 hours out that's a fantastic figure

How do you check that?

Purchased tickets have a Pax number on them.

We got over 7 last week which was pretty good considering the timing of the game and the memorial for CHCH. Definately expecting 10 plus for this game, would love a crowd approaching 13 - 14k.

PAX is usually 2-3k ahead of the actual number. And Cuba Dupa is on tomorrow, so the walk up crowd may not be as big as you may expect. Still, it would be good if we could crack 10k.

FFA finally recognising the appetite for football is huge in the capital? Enough for two teams?

Or, did FFA just realise that's the only way to blunt Yellow Fever's greatest weapon, C-Diddy?

FTFFA!

GAME DAY BITCHEZ!!!

I am surprised at how quiet the forum has been now that the business end of the season is here. Cmon Nixxxx

It’s always puzzle me that there is not mobile layout for this kind forum systems yellow fever is using. Most people consume this on mobile devices these days.

Fire up Nix!!

Shhhhh!

My first thought on seeing that tweet was  “FACT HUNTER”

Cracker of a day today, hopefully encourage a few folk along! COYN

COYN

Gonna boo extra loudly today just to piss of the people who were moaning about it last week. 

But seriously hoping to see Steven Taylor back in the side and really hoping to see Burgess to start. Even if it means Singh is on the bench. I think for sure Cillian and Williams start. Really feel they could link up well, picking Cillian to assist Williams. 

Hoping for a good crowd and an even better atmosphere. 

COYN !!

A glorious day to watch the Phoenix!  

Feels like we haven't played for months

this forum is always busy when we are sharke, quiet when good. Why?

We.are all miserable bastard! 

Any PAX updates folks

Huge game - should be a big rollup - don't know anyone who's not going.

Really hoping Cillian and Burgess start 

Friend just bought a ticket 11063

Fire up farken, we're getting 10k again tonight and another win. Come on boys, bring it home

First time this season for me 2nite. Pax 11185. Hope we play well.

COYN! 1 hour and a bit to go!!!!

interesting line up and bench. No Taylor.

Bang goes that idea

What happened to Kopa?
