R3 vs Western Sydney Wanderers | Sat 3rd Nov | 7:35pm | Westpac Stadium

any idea of pax?... crowd is normally about 75% of that

It's a dire day in Hamilton. Hopefully its a little bit better in Welly.

It's on alright!

Just passed the Porirua works. There's already a queue. In my opinion,  one should leave at least half an hour earlier than usual even if taking detour via old road between Porirua and Tawa, it's bound to get busy there, too.

I've got the exact change for the bus ready. I am FARED UP!!!!

One of my sons and his partner are driving down from New Plymouth for the game, so I hope others are similarly inspired!

A 5:0 will catapult us to the top of the ladder. Fire up!

Fire up!

any audio for any new chants? 

Big chance today if chances are taken. Wanderers look to be having a rough start to the season. Boys up front need to get their heads up instead of just blazing away. Watching Sydney last evening would have been a good learner.

One of my plastic deck chairs blew off the deck onto the lawn. I'm serious af. It's exactly like what I'd imagine a storm is like in Wellington here. 

Gday YF - I purchased a membership late yesterday - but of course won't get the card for a few weeks. Is there any way I can use the membership to get in to the game without the card? Or will I have to buy a ticket for this one? Cheers!

Give ticketek a call on 04 384 2457 and they can normal email you a ticket for the game for your mem

Fantastic thanks mate

Fox named for the WeeNix, so Kopa is in contention for the bench tonight.

Yeah, that's like a wellington storm except think trampolines, roofing iron, and garden sheds flying around rather than plastic chairs.

Either that or he's left already!

No Kopa - maybe he has left?

Hope Singh is being rested.  To drop him for Nichols seems crazy!?

Hope starting helps Burgess adjust to the pace of the game.  He has seemed a step or two behind when coming off the bench.

Interesting line up - lost a bit of pace up top, but more steel in midfield should mean more survive for Krishna. Really excited to see what Burgess can do

If the game is tight though there haven't been many better benches across the league so far that would be better than ours for changing the game - burns Singh and Williams is exciting, just hope we don't have to wait 80 minutes to see them 

COYN!

Burgess needs to build up his game time and match confidence a little. He seems a talent, just needs to adjust. I like the lineup. Big call to drop Singh but Nichols seems like a good choice. Will make it hard for wsw manager to get a grip on how we will play at the start.

It's a fudgeing huge call to start Burgess and drop Singh, jeez.

I guess I understand not wanting to heap too much pressure on Singh/burn him out, but cmon. He's been our only creator.

Teamsheet says Cacace l wing, Burgess r wing, Nichols CAM. 

4 3 3

Singh getting a bit of a rev up by being dropped?

Check out what it shows on the Sky Sports pre-match.

Sort of like last week but he(Cacace) didn't really play there all the time

Good to see Taylor being given a chance up front to prove that he can shoot! 

Lol

This weather is a real shame, felt like we could've cracked 10k if Welly weather wasn't so shark

Also,. Kurto must be sharkting himself with these winds

he might score...

Not happy with Singh being dropped to the bench.
