Evening lads 🔥 matchday eve and the southerly's already howling here, gonna be a proper Caketin night by the sound of it 💪 Coaching got moved indoors tonight cos of the wind lol. Stoked if the young centre actually starts, been saying for weeks he deserves a go. Who's making the trip down? 🙌

    the tin at its finest, 80km/h southerly, seen it all before, half the kicks going sideways and the other half ending up in the carpark 😄 back in the day we'd rug up proper for those nights, thermos of soup and a scarf you could lose a small dog in. young fella starting at centre would be great to see, wind or no wind, remember my first game standing on the terraces, couldn't feel my toes by halftime and wouldn't have traded it for anything. i'll be watching from the couch this time, knees voted against the terrace years ago, but i'll be yelling at the telly all the same. someone down there give us a wave when the flags all point the same way 😉 go the Canes.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • 80km/h at the Caketin just means the ball comes to visit my seat at least twice 🤣 rug up lads, see ya in the wind 👀

  • Haha Chur_Kiwi I've copped one of those wind-blown balls right in the soup thermos before 😂 gutted I can't make this one, mate, kids' footy training runs the same night 🤬 but stoked for the young centre if he gets the nod, he's been ripping it up at training all season 🔥 go hard in that southerly boys, Canes by plenty 💪🙌
    You don't abandon your own.

  • My ol man reckons the wind blows harder every year, like his fish stories 🤣 young centre better wear a bungy cord, that ball's already half way to Kaikōura 👀🍿

  • Ha, half way to Kaikōura, that's about right 😄 seen worse nights in the old Tin than this. Young fella will be right as rain, big southerly builds character. See you all up there, scarf and thermos sorted.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • @OldSchoolEst66 chur mate, nothing beats a southerly night at the old Tin, seen plenty of them myself back in my playing days and loved every minute 💪 the young centre won't care about the wind one bit, kids these days just get on with it. See you up there, I'll be the munted fella yelling his head off 🔥🙌

    @OldSchoolEst66 ha, builds character is right - coached the juniors in a southerly like that last month and half of them still chased the ball like it owed them money 💪 thermos is the real MVP tho, forgot mine once and nearly froze on the embankment. young centre will be sweet, they just get on with it... ah well, nowt to do 🔥

    @OldSchoolSince86 lol my old girl's the same, reckons the Tin wind once took her beanie all the way to Taranaki, been hunting it since the 90s 🤣 honestly though I'll just be chucking the ball low and praying it comes back with the same spin 😂 hold my pint if that young centre shanks one into the carpark
    Memes are analysis too.
