I feel so dumb that I didn’t plan earlier as I could have possibly got to this match from Blenheim

Can you get yourself to the cook strait ferry? It’s about $120 for return ticket this weekend. Plus a hotel or a mates house..

lol, all good man, nothing would keep me away from this!!

Minor premiers is definitely going to happen. Newcastle owe us big time as we prop up their club and will do us a solid 

Not really sure where this should be posted but thanks RR for getting confirmation from Domey that home SF will be Saturday May 18th, 6pm. See you all there.

Still could.
$150 each way on the ferry as a walk on. Just need to get yourself to Picton 

If you are young you could party all night and won’t need accommodation in WGTn.

What are you saying about my age mate? (For reference I can't party all night ^_^)

Anyone here based in Blenheim?

On one hand, Saturday can’t come soon enough. On the other hand, I don’t know if I want to find out the outcome. It’s better living a world where we can still be the premiers…

Yeah, it's bloody nerve-wracking waiting for Saturday knowing it could be absolutely historic or devastating.

I may spontaneously combust come the final whistle. Just hoping it’s due to joy and not defeat

I hope the Nix defence is more organised than my travel plans. 

Is anyone here going up to the game from Dunedin and/or travelling from Dunedin to Wellington before Saturday? I left my Nix top in Dunedin

Yeah saw the sports news as well, do you think maybe they are just thinking of Dome mentioning wanting wasn't it 21k or something. But agree would be great if it is true and happens

Dunno about 20k but looking at Ticketek, its a solid amount of pre-sales with 2 Upper Bays sold out.

It is gonna be a loud Fever Zone with only 19 tickets left in the Upper Section of Aisle 21.

I was thinking of solid 7K but it looks like potentially we might break 10K?
A bit of extra income for the club would be great. Last game to do so.

PAX is past 5k so we already have 7k easy. I expect at least 12-15 if sales continue strong.

10:24pm on the day before the Waitangi Day match we had a 5890 Pax number posted. So we are a couple days ahead of that 12k crowd

Haven’t bought mine yet, waiting on a mate to confirm, but at least four of us going. Was hoping to convince more but no luck.

Yeah. We have to remember though that the weather that day was absolutely amazing. With decent weather I can imagine we get about another 4000 PAX on MD for this weekend.
I think assuming the weather is ok, we can safely say this will beat the 12k on waitangi

The scenes if we win on Saturday and CCM lose...

The scenes if we win on Saturday and CCM lose...

including a trophy presentation!

Calling 13.5k crowd. 

Ref: Ben Abraham

WEL: 3 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses

MAC: 3 wins, 6 draws, 1 loss

Pretty sure CCM will win.
We gonna struggle, I'm mentally ready for an awesome never before 2nd place.

After the season we’ve had, second place will be disappointing. There’s no way around it.

Well, if you're a Nix fan and not used to disappointment yet...

And I’m a Newcastle United supporter so I know disappointment…

6150 now
Update -  6400

PAX needs to be at the very least 10k by tomorrow night if we have any chance of breaking 20k.

Personally it'll be a disspointment ill get over quickly if we come away with a trophy. But still start of the season we'd have all taken second without heistation.
