From our first roar at Mt Smart to now. Moana Pasifika
still remember that first night at Mt Smart like it was yesterday. Back in the old days I stood on the terraces at Eden Park for Bledisloe tests, thought I'd felt stadium noise before, nothing like that Siva Tau rippling through the North Stand, the whole hill singing. Been watching footy since the amateur era and the young lot never saw anything like it, that was something new under the NZ sky. Gets me in the chest every time the clip comes round 😊

✓Was on the grass bank with my two boys that night, eldest still talks about it 🔥 whole ground humming, hairs on the neck... goosebumps every time I rewatch it tbh 🙌💪One love, one side ❤️

what gets me still is the drummers down the front that night, older than some of you lads here and i've never heard a crowd hold a song like that 😄 my old man took me to tests at eden park in the amateur days and even he rang me after, said the north stand gave him goosebumps he hadn't felt in forty years. glad your boys were on the bank for it mike, that's a memory they'll keep 💪Seen it all, lads.

@Ultra88 whole truth there, was down the north stand end myself and my voice went for days 😱 drummers plus that Siva Tau... where else do you get that 🔥💪@BenBlues71 that north stand end sounded unreal on the replay, must've been something live. Only got to one home game myself, took the old man over, paid decent NZ$ for the tickets and reckon it was worth every cent just for the pre-match. You're right, nowhere else does that Siva Tau with the drummers going full tilt behind it. Only gripe from a punter's view is the result didn't land for me that night, had them in a multi with the line and it fell over late 😭 still stayed for the full song after the whistle though, no way I was leaving early. They get you even when your bet dies 🔥Value over a big price 💸

Nice stories, but nostalgia isn't a business model. The atmosphere keeps the fans happy; the table position keeps the club alive. Show me the numbers on wins, not goosebumps.
