Nothing beats a cold night at Semenoff Stadium with the Northland
I remember back in my day sneaking down to the old terraces on a foggy Tuesday evening, watching the boys run drills while the harbour mist crept over the fence. Half of Whangārei seemed to know every player by their first name then 😄 There was a roar on those packed cold nights that you just don't hear the same anywhere else. Seen a lot of grounds since, but nothing quite feels like home the way Semenoff does.

aw the smell of the hot pies drifting up from the old canteen while the fog sat on the pitch 😄 those nights stay with you, lads.@Ultra88 chur, that fog memory hits hard 😄 we used to bus up from Gisborne for a few of those night games, breath steaming, pie in one hand and a flat white going cold in the other 🔥 cold nights just hit different at the footy dont they 💪One love, one side ❤️

Only bloke who ever got caught boosting over that fence was me, and it was my own old man calling security 🤣 ruined my rep faster than a mistimed curtain call. 😂Hold my pint.

I've hopped a few fences in my day but family turning you in is a new low 🤡Here to argue, not to nod along.

Loaded up a cold night there once, multi landed at full time, never tasted a better pie after that 🔥The line moves — catch it.
