Heading into town to see if I can get a Nix shirt.  Bet they have gone up in price now.
Went to another bar here in Sydney to watch the game last week.. right by the stad... was full of Sydney fans.. they were ok though.  We weren't playing them though so could be diff.  Can't remember the name was right by the stad.

Fox and Lion it is then a.

LF1 .. are you going to be calling the game from Sydney? If not, will there be radio commentary of some sort?  My mother does not have Sky but she does love your calls!!!!

LF1 is in Sydney as we speak and will be calling the game on the radio.

So Paddy Maguires, then the Fox and Lion. Ok see you there boyz

Why do I feel as if I have been peeping through someone's windows?!! I just went to  have a look at the Syd Forum (not to post, just lurking, honest!)

Sigmund is not as good as McCain and is half as quick.
Ben will not play.

No Cronus, all is fair in love and war, and this is war. It is good netiquette. Keep up the surveillance of the enemy!

Any Christchurch-based 'Nix fans going to watch the game at a bar in town tomorrow?

yeah..
Dont worry about it.
SFCU is full of dickheads.

Whoops. you needed to be logged in to see those links.

Im keeping an eye out for you Mrs Cronus.. Stefan2010-03-13 00:00:19

Yep, & on October 16 2009 we gained another one.

Just going to bed here in Bangkok - possibility that I'll miss the game due to work tomorrow, but will hopefully catch the 2nd half.

Yeah, red shirts v yellow that must be tricky for you.Long live the king. 

Thank you for your positive reinforcement of my late night sneaky peek! cronus2010-03-13 08:02:53

Looks like Cole is out for Sydney.

Son and I arrived Sydney fri morning - good number of nix supporters on plane. Went all over town trying to get nix playing shirt - they have all the other teams but no nix

nothing about this game anywhere in press or papers

they don't deserve to win coz most will hardly care

see the fever at fox and lion about 5

cmon lads - go nix

Have you tried Rebel Sport in the middle of town?
Its an underground one and is about three levels. Next to the huge Apple store.
Its on King street.

COME ON BOYS

Great, can't wait to see you boyz there at 5.

C-diddy is on his way. Got a text from him earlier. Sitting in melbourne airport waiting for his flight.
Just wait until he gets there.. Things will get interesting.

Cheers for that. How many YF fans are going to the sydney game? Go Phoenix!!darkhorse2010-03-13 11:46:15

600+ Nix fans expected. Maybe over 1k.
Not sure how many have traveled though.
