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"
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
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.
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.
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.

I'm not sure if they'll start Bonevacia tbh. A midfield 3 of Brimmer, Bonevacia and Machach is surely too attacking. I'm guessing it'll be Chapman or Monge to replace Teague.

That is a good question. With Teague and especially Velupillay away they still need to support Fornaroli upfront.
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.
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.
Won the plate? 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.
I think people think they have an easy draw.
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.
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.
