YF seating location at the Basin Preseason Game

YF seating location at the Basin Preseason Game

Folks,

I'll take the silence as compliance!

comprehensive, but part of your post was hiddent to me!!! Annoying. Did you like the portuguese chants??

Great idea!!!!

Sticking together will be great.  And the stand will be good.  Do you think they will block-off some areas or will it be free roam?

Leave the stand for the new people to Footy games. Best they be comfy so they come back.

The old stand could be a bit of fun

...I feel a poll coming on

haha ye i agree! Nah i dnt care where we sit. How much will the games be? Doesnt matter where we are. Stands make sense in the way that our voice will project better however if its a sunny day no doubt bank it!

The old stand all the way let all the wannabes have the vance.If a lot of us turn up that would be the way to go.maybe not the best view but lets get ourselves sorted for the main deal the victory game.

Maybe 10bux a ticket im guessing. I wanna sit in stands. be better.

my only fear of sitting in the stand is we will be a long way away from the feild, i rekon the seats or the bank as if there are 500+ of us well be realy loud anyway and closer to the pitch giving us a more agressive and intimadating presense.

there is a reason that the greek national team plays at karaskaki, there is no running track and the stadium starts about 1 metre from the outline so when teams play there its a really agressive and intimadating atmosphere from the fans

any way just a thought, a poll is a good idea

Ye it would be good to see 500 but i dnt thnk we would have that many in our group. However i say bank for that very reason of being close to the field. Much better!

Will there be the same going on at the christchurch game?

im sure i heard somewhere that tickets would be $10 for adults and free for kids.that should mean a decent crowd.sitting in the stands would be best.i remember back in high school long ago at mcevedy the stands were much better for chanting and going nuts than the bank 

Whats this sitting in the stands business.  

ye exactly. And the closer to the action the better it is. Usually fans sit behind the goal or at the corners!!! And arent we talking basin here not newtown? Bank bank bank. "goodbye"

If its pissing down with rain go your bank bank.Fine we all want to stand up just hope something can be done for pre season games so we can show wellington what the fever are about.Maybe not over organized but some semblance of order would be nice. 

well the stand at newtown park is closer to the pitch than the one at the basin and its smaller i think so the sound was more compact plus you woulda had 1000 people chanting, were looking at 500 (i hope we get more)

if its raining well phuck!!!!! we'll take raincoats

Rain ?? What difference does that make to a fan, we fear not the moisture.

Old stand, standing and chanting.......

Good pricing. Cheap. Wat dates the opening game at basin?

Sunday 22nd July is the Basin game against Sydney FC.....

Coxey, do you know if there will be any temporary seating on the ground at the basin?

I don't know for sure, can ask.....but feel it would be unlikely as they'll be looking to fill the ground and let people sit/stand where they want.  I haven't seen any temp seating at the Basin before - where have they put it in the past?

I remember going to the chatham cup in the early 90's and they had a stand set up on one side, wasn't huge but tiered seating for maybe a couple of thousand.  On the grass next to the pitch. james dean2007-06-10 22:13:43

Lets hope they do as cricket do let the soffas in.

sofas? they don't let them in for cricket games anymore either.

douglas ur a shamll harry man!

Nah not sofa's just stand jesus. Or if you get there earlier lay out a picnic.

Sofa's for football? You planning on having a nap? And how long do you intend to be at the game for? It's only 90 minutes you know. .. 

I think the game is going to be $10

Ye it is cheers neway. Umm ye as dougy said sofa arent allowed in cricket unfortunetely but fk ye this is football 90 mins long. No need for sofas. Im looking forward to this game. We all gotta be together and  chant our ass off. Surely televised???? Few greek flags here and there.

so more importantly, where are we all gonna meet up beforehand?? I vote the Caledonian on the corner there across from maccas

I think the Cambridge would be better

My legs are having trouble moving after the weekends game so chose the caledonian as closer to ground i.e. less walking

Agreed! Caledonian for sure!!!!

What approach do we take guys:

The Wembley approach, ie get to pub, drink up large and the leave pub half an hour before game and wander down road singing and chanting

or

The Highbury approach, go to a pub right beside the ground, sing songs and drink right up til the last minute and then race into the ground to catch the kickoff

both have their merits

I vote for the Wmebly approach, bu would happily do the Highbury approach if that was the consensus . ..  Howsabout a poll?
