I know it's only preseason blah blah but it's better for everyone (except the two Auckland teams) when people outside of Auckland do well. Well done TW, will be there next week to cheer you on.
I hope you have the decency to CONFIRM your presence , so arrangements to cater to the huge increase of support can be made ....
I was expecting you to reply!
And you were right !
How could I not ....theres seating , catering etc , to be attended to ....
So does Matt Calcott get some credit for being a manager who does a great job at developing players? Quite a lot of his (even though he may have inherited them from other coaches) have gone on to higher honours. I saw on the TW Facebook the list in the current all whites. Tom Doyle, Kosta, Musa, Joel Stevens and Fenton....am I missing anyone?
He may be in the right place at the righ time but he does seem to get guys noticed.
I think Matt does a good job with TeeDubs, but I think even he'd agree that most of those were recognised as good players before they came to TW. His considerable skill is recruiting. In saying that, I'm sure he's added to their education.
On a side note, we have some spare tickets to tonight's fully catered Capital Football Awards Night function. It's at 7pm. If you want to go email me asap: [email protected]
I can accept that! Regardless, he does a good job at getting them promoted into new levels. Must be a smooth talker!
Whoever filmed that needs some pointers. It's like watching through binoculars.
ha ha, quite right smithy
was a decent watch though
interesting to see corrales on the right and fa'arodo up the guts with smith
do tw have a game this weekend in wgtn?
Only if they have a warm-up game. Opener the following weekend vs the Phoenix Ressies.
ha ha, quite right smithy
was a decent watch though
interesting to see corrales ...
... almost weeping in club house afterwards so glad to be back.
Nice guy Luis ..good to see him back in ASBP
We sang him a song...
... Dangerous little player.
Any fans on here willing to predict a starting line up?
O, Keefe,
Right back?, Robertson, Musa, Rosenthal
Frodo, Peverley, Feneridis, Frenchy
Corrales, Smith/ Gwyther?
Pretty sharp looking team...I am sure I have forgotten someone
Cowan started against Auckland
At right back?
yip, and corrales was on the right
o'keeffe - cowan, robertson, musa, rosenthal - corrales, fenerides, peverley (c), bechar - fa'arodo, smith
looks pretty much like the first Xi to be apart from perhaps colligan
A tenner? Wow, that will surely help boost ASB Prem attendance!
I was out of the Country last year, but I seem to remember the year before that it was $5. Sure, the cost of living goes up, inflation does too, but I still think it's quite a lot of money.
Anyway, wanna come with Hamish?
yep it's definitely 10. Might see ya there.
Southern United games are free this season, and you get to watch them at the best football ground in the country.
Having said that, I would much rather take in the #WellingtonDerby at Davey F for a tenner.
How much are TW season tickets this year?
That was f**n quality.
Yeah I definitely got my money's worth. Very good game to watch, probably one of the better NZFC/ASB Prem games I watched in a long time.
Happy to splash out the $10!
Can't wait for the return leg of the #WellingtonDerby at Newtown Park. Could be a BIG crowd.
BBQ sausages this season are from team sponsors Harrington Small Goods Miramar.
Have put forward requests for bacon upgrades. Hope you enjoyed
(Ankle can't do stand up all day)
Really enjoyed that game....biggest crowd I have seen in a while too
What was the crowd?
Reckon 500-600. Probably can only fit another one or two hundred in there.

Report on www.nzfootball.co.nz reckoned 450. Looked fewer to me, but I was on touchline looking across to terrace. Enjoyed the game. Enjoyed Luis' backchat too. Boyd the standout. God-awful wind.
Why only VIP's allowed into the club house bar?
Decent gate taking. Nix reserves could get more in at Newtown for the return fixture
Luis Corrales reminds me so much of Graham Little as a player it isn't even funny. Great for the spectator, horrid for the opposition.
....deep down I think that's why I went yesterday... just to watch Luis play,
Other thing. The chit chat with others around me yesterday was great.
So what were crowds at other games around the country. There was also Christchurch, Kiwitea and Waitakere? How did they stack up for crowds?

ChCh 500, Kiwitea 5000, Waitak 50 (acc. to my sauces).
Well played Jerzy.
i went to both Waitakere and Auckland games - both decent crowds - not as many as i thought there would be at Kiwitea - looked like less there than the Charity Cup game - but still more than at Waitak although I was surprised to see more than a handful of people.
Reckon 500-600. Probably can only fit another one or two hundred in there.
First game in the Summer League there was 1500 there, but it was genuinely rammed
Every club in Wellington gogt given 50 season passes IIRC.
