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!
I think the game is going to be $10
so more importantly, where are we all gonna meet up beforehand?? I
vote the Caledonian on the corner there across from maccas
YF seating location at the Basin Preseason Game
Folks,
Be good to sort out now where we're gonna sit during the
preseason game at the basin. Now I know that the bank is a popular
place for fans during the cricket, but for football (esp during
Winter) it's prob not such a good idea, it is more conducive to
lying down in the sun, rather than standing up if you love the nix
So I propose that we aim to occupy a large section of the RA
Vance stand. The reasons being:
1. The stand is covered, and it will most likely be raining,
being winter and all (and we want everyone in the best of spirits,
scarves in the air, not in bad spirits, scarves around the
neck)
2. The stand has a solid back, meaning that our sining will
reverberate very loudly around the ground.
3. The bank is more conducive to lying around than a mass
group standing up, whereas the stands are more suited to having
lots of people clsoely packed in
4. The Stand has a solid back, meaning our noise will be
amplified
5. See above
6. See above
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.
Hardcore fans should stand opposite the Vance out in the
weather.
The old stand could be a bit of fun
...I feel a poll coming on

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.
We stand up to support our team.
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
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.......
Tickets are confirmed for both games as $10 adults, free to
kids under 16.
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?
Would probably be better to spend money on promoting the game
and enhancing the event on gameday rather than on
seating.....
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.
My vote is for the old stand though, good view from high and a
good meeting and rallying point.

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!!!!
This does need some thought . . . Personally I'm in favour of
the Cam, beacsue then we can walk down Cambridge Terrace in a big
mob waving our flags and being generally noisy on our way to the
ground.
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?
