Got a response from Gary at the Kingslander:
"Hi Michael, what sort of function are you looking for? Numbers, timing, food etc?
We won't be closing the bar to the public for a private function, but we may be able to set aside an area for you to use.
Cheers,

Is anyone keen to set up a YF HQ at the Kingslander? It'll still be open to the public, but we should be able to get posters etc up, deck out the pub in black and yellow, and maybe songsheets for the match?
I'd need to know how many people are interested in meeting up at the K'lander before the game, and roughly what time we'd use the area
they said this to me
Hi Mike
As you say our location makes us a prime spot for all Eden Park goers, to the
extent where we don't really need to discount products for any match at Eden
Park as we hit capacity every time. I understand you have a large group that
would attend and we would expect to see some of them regardless, but we can't
really sacrifice much on a night where the business is guaranteed for us
anyway. The only consideration I would put to this would be to offer a special
early on in the day so that we will up early, perhaps a lunchtime special from
11am-2pm or something of the like. would this appeal to your group?
We have engaged the services of what is probably Aucklands best covers band for
after the game, The Silhouettes.
Look forward to hearing back
Cheers
Tom
