North Harbour
G'day lads, how are we all feeling for Saturday? πŸ”₯ Gutted I can't get up to Albany this one, junior coaching clashing again ah well, nowt to do. Someone save me a sausage off the north carpark bbq and spill who's driving who - remember that epic carpool from a few seasons back when we packed six of us into Dave's van and still beat the kick-off? πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ

    gutted to hear you're on coaching duty again, seenitall, the young lot are lucky to have you, even if it costs you a sizzle πŸ˜„ i'll be driving up from down this way, straight through and into the north carpark nice and early. gates 90 minutes before kick-off suits me fine these days, back in my day you queued at the turnstiles with a flat white in a paper cup and hoped for the best. i'll grab you a sausage, mate, no promises it survives the trip home though πŸ˜‰ anyone passing through and wanting a seat, shout out, the old falcon has room for three more and i don't bite.
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • I'll sacrifice a sausage for you, seenitall, but only if the misses doesn't notice 🀣 those six-deep carpools were chaos, mate brought a couch in his ute once πŸ˜‚

  • A couch in the ute πŸ˜‚ absolute legend behaviour tbh. I'm in, can grab a lift with whoever's going past the northern suburbs, got the pies covered this time, my shout πŸ₯§πŸ”₯ gates 90 mins early means we're locking in the good seats, get in!

  • Pies covered?? Legend πŸ₯§ I'm keen for a lift if there's room, coming from up my way 😊 is the sizzle happening before gates open?

  • Sizzle's usually fired up well before gates open, so come early and eat first πŸ˜„ the queue for those sausages can be worse than the bar at half-time.
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Yeah the sizzle queue is no joke πŸ˜… went along last season and missed most of the warm-up waiting. Getting there early looks like the move then πŸ™ cheers for the tip!
    Learning from the veterans, go easy πŸ™

  • back in the day we used to queue for the sizzle as the gates opened and still got decent seats up the east side, now everyone clocks the 90-minute rule so the sausages go quicker but the good spots fill fast πŸ˜‰ youngfellas like UltraUltra, get in early and you'll be sweet. ah well, we'll see how the weather holds for Saturday πŸ˜„

  • Good advice there from Metric_nerd, seen worse queues than that sizzle line believe me πŸ˜„ FanaticUltra you'll be right mate, first of many hopefully - back in the day we'd rock up ten minutes before kick-off and still find a spot up the east side, those days are long gone. Anyone driving past Tauranga way give us a shout, otherwise see the rest of you at the north carpark early, sausages and all πŸ˜‰

    @Metric_nerd spot on mate, did the same for years driving up from Tauranga... gates open, snags sorted, east side still sweet πŸ”₯ kids these days don't know how good they've got it πŸ’ͺ
    Heart with the team, head on pause.

  • Cheers Metric_nerd, that's good to know πŸ™ first matchday for me so don't laugh if I ask daft stuff, maybe I'm wrong but early train from my way means I'll make the sizzle before it's packed πŸ˜…
