Is it time for a cheeky wee bevy yet?

See ya at the Bencher.

C'mon Phoenix!

F-cking work hopefully will finish before 7:30....

sh*t thats good pax, nice crowd tonight!

sh*t I'm thirsty... anyone at the BB yet?

FIRE UP!!!

11498 is the attendance, I'm reckoning.

9,980

Just back from a lovely, long, work-paid-for lunch where drinks were flowing as freely as a pass from Manny. Bring on 7:30!!

good plan.
Yeah, I'll just sit in my room, yelling "10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1 AAAAYEEEEEEEE!" and then take off the shirt, over and over til 7.

cool as, thank you.

still a good queue in the phoenix store

6 hours til shirts off!

Com on Phoenix

Feels like FOREVER since the last home game!!!

Its gonna be tight boys, but Wardy is gonna get us over the line tonight. First Nix hattrick in a 3-2 come from behind win to catapult us to the finalsplaywithFire2011-01-05 15:35:09

i've suddenly got pax craving its hitting me harder than playoffs last year

grandadi what happened to the prediction?

Mix it up with a few " Melbourne B's" ... throw in a few "so sh*t you're ineffectual"s and a beer or two...better yet an Isaacs..try a mock vuvuzela or two ..you'll be well primed by game time...!!

..or asleep.

I'll also listen t podcasts of the phoenix scoring, and wave around my scarf, splash my beer all over the carpet and do some more chanting and pretend to watch a replay of the goal and yell "YEAAH! ROJAAAAASSS!" or something along those lines.

greaaat. Why go to the game at all?
nah, I'm kidding.

pax about 45 ago was 8247

Ok, you asked for it.................

(drum roll, dimming lights, thunder & lightning etc etc)

The Wrong Muscats  0           The Mighty Phoenix  3

Remember, I am rarely wrong (although I admit I've wobbled a bit lately, possibly an age thing- I DID predict England to keep the Ashes though, and that was after the Perth Test!)

We are the Phoenix. We can beat anyone......

P.s. I'm taking SEVEN Grandadi-ites tonight- try to do the same, and sing your tubes out!

i must admit, the 'wrong muscat' is probably the only one of YF's lame-ass nicknames i actually enjoy

Can't be there tonight (geography, same old) but will be singing myself hoarse for the boys.

MacAllister double?  Why not?

3-0!!
When was the last time we played Melbourne and we didn't concede a goal?

0-0 in Melbourne earlier this season.

yes, this is starting to feel good, the hype and the nerves starting to build

CMON U NIX!!!!

WARD!

Our Mojo is back......

So is Lochy!!!

Go Phoenix!!!

COME ON PHOENIX!

Hi all im attending my first Phoenix game tonight ,im on hols from Dublin Ireland and really looking forward to seeing my first live game NZ style.Ive  been craving some live footy since my beloved Supersaints season finished back in October http://www.stpatsfc.com/.
Can someone tell you tell me where the  prematch bars are located , which stand is preferred by the majority of fans?oh and finally whats the best way to get to the Westpac by public transport from Whitby Porirua :-) cheers and  Cmon U  Nix!!!

Backbencher is the prematch bar.

Hey Black out,

And catch a train to Wellington station - Backbencher is very close and stadium is connected

http://www.metlink.org.nz/timetables/train/PPL This link shows you the train to get into wellington which drops you off right near both stadium and Backbencher. Paremata is your closest stop from whitby.

The stand(aisles) to get into are aisles 20, 21 and 22

See you there

Since when did they get rid of student tickets?

Yeah that's abit odd. though it looks like they have student tickets for the other home games according to the ticketek page

AHHHHHHHH!!!! PHOENIX!!!!!

COYN

Macallister as lone striker makes me cry

Greenie struggles in the air but I much prefer him to Mac - he has a lot more to his game and works harder defensivelyvaleo2011-01-05 18:41:16

BB time methinks, c'mon Phoenix!
