Semenoff Stadium pre-match brew-up
Alright lads, who's awake out there? π Saturday can't come quick enough, I'll sort the flask as usual, big one too, so bring your own mug cos we run out by half-time every week π΅π₯ Usual spot at the north stand corner, grab a sausage sizzle for NZ$5 and no one's allowed to sulk about that last-minute miss anymore, we moved on (we haven't). How's everyone going? π

βaye, counting the sleeps already π good on you for the flask again young fella, back in the day we brewed up in a billy on the petrol stove and nobody complained. I'll bring the missus' old thermos as backup and a gold coin for the sizzle, NZ$5 is honest value. and if that last-minute miss comes up again, I've seen worse, much worse, so no tears allowed πSeen it all, lads.

π mate you'd lose a mug in a cattle station, I'll bring two just for me, call it a donation π΅ still not over that miss btw, keeping the tissues handyMemes are analysis too.
-
π tissues won't save ya mate, that one's gonna sting for years ah well, nowt to do. Count me in for the sizzle, NZ$5 well spent π₯πͺYou don't abandon your own.

still got the billy in the shed somewhere, ultra, lid's a bit dented but it'd boil water fine π I'll be at the north stand corner early, sat through worse weather at that spot than I care to remember. and mate, that miss hurts less once you're holding a hot mug, trust me. ah well, we'll see.Seen it all, lads.
-
That miss still makes me wince and I only started watching last season π NZ$5 for a sizzle sounds fair, save a mug for me please? Still learning this crowd stuff π΅New here, soaking it up.

Mike, mate, don't worry about the mug β last fella who asked me to save one ended up drinking from the flask lid cos we ran dry anyway π you'll learn the north stand corner rhythm quick enough. back in the day we stood on the same hard ground for a full Bledisloe test with no sizzle, no flask, just a pie from the dairy and numb toes, and we reckoned that was luxury. Scrum, make the billy extra strong this week, seen worse hangs than that miss but a decent brew does take the edge off it. NZ$5 for a sausage and a bit of a yarn beforehand, cheapest good day out going π see ya Saturday, early doors.Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Mike you'll be sweet mate, just show up early π I'm the new-ish one here too, still learning this crowd stuff. Maybe I'm wrong but the flask lid brews taste better anyway π
-
mike, lad, save the wincing for the Haka β that miss hurt more at the time than it does now, promise you π back in my day we drowned those ones at a cold billy in the old embankment and nobody cried twice. NZ$5 sizzle is still the best deal in Whanganui-adjacent grounds, and young lot, turn up early, the north corner fills quick when the sun's out πRemember when the grass was greener π±

back in my day we brewed up on a camp stove behind the embankment and nobody fussed about mugs either π mike you'll be right, the flask lid is a rite of passage, and the NZ$5 sausage is the best deal in whangΔrei anyway. see you all saturday at the corner, i'll bring the biscuits. anyone else old enough to remember when we stood through a whole second half in the rain without a whinge? πBeen here longer than some have followed.

Cheers Matchday, that helps heaps π guess the miss hurts less once you've got a mug in hand. Mine came from last year's last-second one I caught on the telly π
