WPM R16 vs Melbourne Victory | Fri 6th Feb | 7:00pm | RoF / SS1 - Double Header

Nix playing on a Friday night vs a team from Melbourne again, lets hope we don't throw it away this time.

Victory over Victory 

this Melbourne team is less of a challenge than the other, moving on up to 6th!

Hopefully Tuiloma is determined enough to redeem himself.

Does he take penalties?

Someone said in another post that families in Wellington are struggling and have to pick and choose which matches they go to.  I've purchased 2 x family passes in silver section to give to people who need them.  If you or someone you know loves the Nix but can't justify the expense I'd be happy to give these to you/them.

Hey mate just want to say what a really fantastic gesture this is! We might not always win on the field but can't argue that we don't have a winning fanbase. Hope someone is able to take you up on this offer.

That was me, your a legend for doing that.  I dont have the money to do that but what i did was pass on the members discount code  i got onto a family so they could buy 10 tickets at a discount for whatever games they want to go to.

If you dont get takers from YF might pay to post on one of the FB pages.

What happened to the Ronald McDonald House etc? Does anyone still organise that part of the Fever? 

Thanks team.  

I thought it was you Ballane that mentioned that but I wasn't 100% sure and couldn't even recall what thread it was in.

I'll try the facebook pages if no one messages me in the next few days.

 Yakcall was the main driver behind that iirc. Not sure he is around as much nowadays.

Shows up to the women's games and I see him at the mens more often than not. I'll message him tonight when I get home from work.

Hope im not speaking out of turn Matt.
Matt has a young family he is heavily involved in parenting. That Ronald McDonald stuff took a heap of organizing which Matt did mostly on his own.
Like a number of the other senior figures in YF Matt has taken a step back in the hope that some others might step forward.
The work they did over the years was outstanding and i think people are only  figuring out know that YF didnt just happen but was developed by the work of a very dedicated few.

Be aware only the Johnsonville train line is running.  All other line bus replaced on the blimin Sunday timetable. Thanks Kiwirail.

I’m sorry that I’m overseas, but I wonder if there’s anyone who might want to pick up something like the Ronald McDonald house or StarJam etc etc and keep it? 

I did one game in Hamilton years back where I think we took some donations and we took some season tickets for people who weren’t coming north and gave them to StarJam I think. Maybe some went to Ronald McDonald house too. 

Certainly seems like a worthwhile programme, especially if we’re going to score a few goals and play some football!

If someone wanted to take over some kind of ticket donation project, it doesn’t have to be Ronald McDonald house, it could be something else. But certainly there’s been angst about the cost of living and it sounds like a good thing to do to me. But again probably a lot of work, for its own reward. 

Newbie question...

If i bought a supporters' membership today, would I be able to easily use the complimentary double pass to get 2x tickets to the double header in the YF zone tomorrow?

Just booked mylast min AirBnb and planning my drive to Wellington tomorrow morning from Auckland 🥴

I'm sure someone could think of a chant for Wellingtons current crisis.

All sorted!! See you all tomorrow.

Apparently I picked a fun day 

Also posted in the women thread. Was meant to go to the game today however I unfortunately have ended up unwell so was wondering if anyone would like my ticket? (Will be giving it for free) If you'd like it please private message me. Sorry it is only one. 

Looking forward to victory (note the non-capitalisation)

Absolutely huge if true!!! 
But also, why did we get Kartum then?

maybe the Singh deal was a last minute thing, his agent reached out to teams cos he is needing more game time?

Probably because Singh wasnt available then. Dont see it as in issue in fact looking forward to seeing them both on at the same time. Hopefully some fun times ahead.

"Absolutely huge if true!!! But also, why did we get Kartum then?"
I think Kartum may be more of a forward than Singh?
#notastriker

Kartum and Singh behind Eze with Najjarine, Mileusnic and Piper backing them up is real depth in our front 3, all able to affect a game whether starting or subbing in.

Such a stark difference to Walker and LBS last year, no offence to the lads.

Definitely, hopefully not too little too late, though.

I don't think Singh really fixes our main issues - which is solidity in the middle and at the back - but it's still exciting

Anything that gets Najjirine out of the team is ok with me

Shame for Walker. This season basically a write off. There were plenty of games this season I feel his different approach and directness would have been useful off the bench.
