I'm a bit out of the loop here but what happened to the Back Bencher being the pre-match pub for the Fever?

Have you been recently? It’s horrendous post refurb (amongst other things). Won’t be back.
theaucklandphoenixfan Not sure but I feel like you'd think not if they've been saying it's the strongest presale and they could crack 10k. Not sure how many members we have but maybe around 2k? so that'd be close to 8k which would sound about right and then hoping for another couple thousand walk up

Will make noise like 16-20K
Smeltz4PM Wonder why???

Smeltz4PM Wonder why??? Explained last season as commercial sponsorship obligations. Home & away strips have different primary sponsors. Presume same is true for this season. Nix owners in no real position to turnaway sponsor dollars.

Reporters were asking Chief about the possibility of 10k turning up to the game, so they seem pretty optimistic.
I can't say I have, but good to know to avoid it! Thanks for the tip
When I was younger and attended many weddings on a Saturday afternoon/night that clashed with (usually) All Black or Kiwi games, there was always a group of hard core (and male) fans huddled around some TV (no internet then) in the bowels of the hotel/reception centre, watching the game. Each of us bodly saying that either we picked our own wedding date that didn’t clash or would have the balls to organise our own future weddings with no such clash. Even older people will recall getting up in the middle of the night to listen to the All Blacks playing over in the UK on the wireless. Those were the days.Mainland FC
Maaaaaaatt
Congratulations, of course, but what a terrible sense of timing.
10 years ago tomorrow I missed us demolishing the victory 5-0 as I was getting married.
Friday night I'll miss the game as we're going out for an anniversary dinner, hoping for the same result!

Sooo excited for this one. Feels like a finals game
Hows the weather today?
PAX 5484. Damn - was hoping we'd crack 10k. Hope people don't miss much of the game queueing for their tickets
I'll be watching straight after work, great timeslot for Adelaidians 😌 Very excited for this one, COYN! 🙏
I wish I could get there, will be cheering the boys up here in Taupo.

Off to the stadium now. Cmon lads, fire up.
Nothing about the game on TVNZ, absolute owner operators!!
Biggest home game of the season and we play in our away kit. Absolutely classic phoenix stuff
Kosta to score and nix to win for $5 suuurely

Ugh. Top of the league. Home. Summer. Appalling black kit. I give up.

Looks like a good crowd on TV
Fantastic seeing the stands so full.
Looks like a massive crowd at the ROF today
Big defence required for these buggers
Two crap back passes when there was no need.
Crowd sounds loud on the telly. Looks pretty big too!
Arzani is such a tricky bugger. Thought he had no hope of keeping that in play but he did.

Anyone else having issues with the YouTube?
Typical A league.

Twice more we pass back from forward positions. We are denying ourselves attacking opportunities
How was that not a penalty
50/50 pen
*shrug*
Not given on field, there’s no way VAR would overturn that.
