✓Count me in, gold coin's already rattling in my pocket 😄 reminds me of the old Eden Park nights. Crowd carries them home.Keen as, mate.Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

Coin's in the pocket, lungs loaded 😂 If the boys go quiet when we do, someone better assign me a megaphone 🤣Only serious one here — barely.

Keen as mate, driving up from Masterton early with the esky loaded 🔥 Megaphone? nah mate save your coin, your lungs will do once the boys smell the snags 😂 And seriously last time we went quiet they leaked a try straight after, no silence from our corner, through thick and thin 🙌💪Heart with the team, head on pause.

ah nothing beats the smell of snags drifting over the carpark before kickoff 😄 back in my day we'd be there two hours early just for that. Tom, safe travels up from Masterton mate, that's proper commitment. and he's right about the noise - stand silent for a minute and the boys feel it, so lungs at the ready 😉Been here longer than some have followed.

That Masterton trip is proper dedication, Tom 😄 I'm only a short hop over the bridge so no excuses for me to be late. Two hours early for the snags, same as UnderdogNightmare said. And yeah, no silence from our corner, learnt that lesson the hard way last time 🙏Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏

Wellington, mate, no excuses needed over the bridge, half the crowd cuts it fine coming across there and misses half the pre-match anyway 😄 Funny thing, I've been coming to Eden Park since the amateur days, stood on the terraces for big All Blacks tests when a gold coin got you a pie and a seat with no back on it. Same rule held true then as now: the crowd plays the first 20 minutes with the boys. When we went quiet last time, well, you saw what happened. Seen worse sides than this one, mind you, but they need us on their lungs, not just theirs. I'll be there early with the BBQ gear, so first snag's on me if you make it before the esky opens. Look forward to a few of the young lot seeing how a proper tailgate's done 😉Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Barbie duty sorted, I'm throwing my classes sausages on the grill, bring the bread 😄 SeenItAll_Guy, respect to the terrace days, my old man talks the same about the gold coin pies. Blues by plenty lads, backing them all …@SeenItAll_Guy respect for the terrace days mate, doubt many of today's crowd know a gold coin even bought a pie 😄 I'm with StatHeadnerd, the snag run before kickoff is tradition now, cashed plenty of multis in that carpark queue. Blues by plenty sounds right to me, line'll move towards them by Friday and I want in before it does 🔥Bankroll discipline wins.

Put me down for a spot at the barbie, TaurangaNZ. I'll bring the bread and a cold dozen 🔥 Snags before kickoff is half the reason I travel up, the other half is cashing the TAB ticket after. Blues by plenty works for me, but I've had too many "sure thing" multis die at Eden Park to load up without seeing the team sheet first 😭Bankroll discipline wins.

Snags before kickoff, now yous are talking my language 🔥 I coached the juniors Saturday morning so I'll be cutting it fine over there myself, ah well, nowt to do. Still remember queueing for a pie on the terrace as a kid, good times 🙌 Blues by plenty tbh 💪You don't abandon your own.
