PAX 1899, promising

PAX 1899, promising
Haven’t bought yet, but going with at least 4 others
I am so pumped for this. I’m gonna lose my voice
Writing down talking points for team and coaches:
"Just another game, we take game by game, nothing special, three points like every other game, we do our normal training and game plan"
And one for D. Dome:
"This is the biggest game of season, we need support from the fans, we are fighting with everything we have, we are so pumped, large crowds, biggest sporting event since the Womans World Cup"

One wants to protect his players and keep them focused, one is a fan who also wants to make a return on his investment.
I see no issue with either stance.
This isn't going to go well again either. But COYN.
Has the club ever done a partnership with the hurricanes like a one ticket gets you in to both games? Could be a good idea this weekend with both playing big games

Goodness me. You cannot have sensible suggestions like that. Whatever will they think of next
Does the club still own a minority stake in the hurricanes or did they sell it?
Any PAX update?
I feel everyone just wants Friday to happen already.
The anticipation is getting to me.

Hey everyone I wanted to ask, I am staying at a hotel at the northern end of the stadium. Can you get up to the big concrete slab as I call it (the long bridge to the stadium) from any other points further north side other than the train station, waterfront stairs or the stairs off Thorndon quay? Thanks

You can walk into the carpark.
There’s both stairs and a ramp in there.
Is that kinda where you were meaning?
There is nothing over the railway, except way down near the station.
Yes it was, thanks for that I didn’t know you could walk in.

No you can't, as the only way to get in further north is from the waterfront and the carpark but you have to cross the railway lines to do that. The closest way to get onto the walkway from where you are is at the start of thorndon quay by the railway station.
Thats another crap thing about the stadium. They talked about putting shops or indoor sports up there. Or walkways across to that area etc.
99% sure Victory will be without Teague, Valadon, & Velupillay for this one because the U23 Asia Cup kicks off on the 16th at 1am. I rate Teague and I imagine Bonevacia will come in for his first start.

Roly put in a decent 2nd half shift last weekend, and he was his usual direct dynamic self. Good to see him back in A-League. Yet another proof of WelNix pioneering recruitment efforts from far and wide places.
Looking like tomorrow night will be a classic Wind, Rain, Phoenix game.

That is a good question. With Teague and especially Velupillay away they still need to support Fornaroli upfront.
With Daniel Elder as referee
WEL : 9 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses
MVC: 6 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses

Daniel elder didn’t he do our last Friday night game against the victory?
Any chance we crack 10k? The boys so deserve it..

If the weather wasn't likely to be as scheduled, i'd have said an easy yes. I'm not so sure now. Hoping the the rain ceases early afternoon...

Now raining here in Christchurch, but it is quite warm. Hope the system moves past Wellington by tomorrow night. Hope the kitman packed the correct cleats this time.
I’m sure no matter the rainfall tomorrow we will still see the groundsmen excessively watering the pitch.

I'd doubt it, it's up to the home team how much water they put on the pitch anyway I believe.
Eitherway it's game day lads fire the fark up!
Wind/Rain and the phoenix, first home game this season where this chant has any accuracy!
Still bloody warm though.

Not surprised the TAB has MV listed as favourites, they were giving good odds for us to be wooden spooners at the start of the season. $3.30 for the win is a decent bet for a cheeky $20.00

The Mariners won the plate last week so now we need to focus on protecting second and an easy finals run. Be a travesty to drop to third.

Still 3 matches to be played, they are only ahead of us due to one extra win. Two horse race now, Vic are 5 points behind the top two.
Nix to prevail. We know the wind swirls. Kraev to score the winner.
Please Air NZ don’t cancel my flight!!!!

Western this weekend - I think a draw as western are playing well lately and at home.
Adelaide will hopefully still be pushing for the top 6.
Newcastle will want to go out with a bang at home.

Funny thing about this league is that no game is an easy one, regardless of position on the table. Anyone has always been able to beat anyone. Newcastle beating Sydney, Western beating MacArthur prove that.

And I am still hurting when I remember the Jets beating us three nil on our home turf.
Adelaide have really picked up the last few weeks - they could sneak a win against CCM.
WU also have been much improved lately.

They're probs favorites for the bookies too as we haven't beaten them in the last 5 meetings which is a surprise given how bad they were last season.
I remember that game here last season where we were dominating them till they scored their first goal and we conceded both goals off corners.
