Alright lads, who's awake out there? πŸ˜„ 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 🍡πŸ”₯ 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? πŸ‰

    aye, counting the sleeps already πŸ˜„ 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 πŸ˜‰
    Seen it all, lads.

  • πŸ˜‚ mate you'd lose a mug in a cattle station, I'll bring two just for me, call it a donation 🍡 still not over that miss btw, keeping the tissues handy
    Memes are analysis too.

  • still got the billy in the shed somewhere, ultra, lid's a bit dented but it'd boil water fine πŸ˜„ 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.

  • That miss still makes me wince and I only started watching last season πŸ˜… NZ$5 for a sizzle sounds fair, save a mug for me please? Still learning this crowd stuff 🍡
    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 πŸ˜„ 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 πŸ˜‰ 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 πŸ˜… 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 πŸ™

  • mike, lad, save the wincing for the Haka β€” that miss hurt more at the time than it does now, promise you πŸ˜„ 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 πŸ˜‰

  • back in my day we brewed up on a camp stove behind the embankment and nobody fussed about mugs either πŸ˜„ mike you'll be right, the flask lid is a rite of passage, and the NZ$5 sausage is the best deal in whangārei 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? πŸ˜‰
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Cheers Matchday, that helps heaps πŸ™ 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 πŸ˜…
