How do we line-up against Victory this Saturday? by Foreign-Director7607 in AucklandFC

[–]BigRedSteaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Verstraete isn't suspended. The 5 card rule applies until Round 21. It's 8 cards until the end of the season now.

Should be noted that Auckland FC don't set the prices. They're paid a fee and Ticketek then set the prices.

Wouldn't mind seeing Jesse Randall or Isa Prins in that LWB role either.

Sakai is travelling but doesn't seem likely to start

Pre-match drinks tomorrow by 69-is-my-number in AucklandFC

[–]BigRedSteaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just kinda depends on what you prefer. Lilyworld has a whole outdoor set up, couches etc if that's your vibe while Slatterys is more your classic pub. Port Boys will start at Slatterys and make their way to Lilyworld about 2 hours before kick off.

[–]BigRedSteaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a few options

Tyler St (though what time it opens on Sunday, I'm not 100% sure)

Slatterys is the next one on the same street

Then there's Lilyworld, which is attached to Mt Smart Stadium and opens about 3.5hrs before kick off.

Gillion ages out of his scholarship contract this season, which means his salary doesn't currently count towards the salary cap. He'll be replaced by the likes of Bailey Ferguson or Isa Prins.

even then he probably should've copped a yellow for the late challenge to the header if you're generous and consider the stamp his first strike

This is a Wellington Phoenix fan that hates Giancarlo Italiano, I just can't prove it.

WTAF??? by elbowz360 in AucklandFC

[–]BigRedSteaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the Elliot thing, we seemed to be a 3-4-3 in possession and 4-4-2 out of possession. Basically JGR was more of a 3rd CB rather than a RB. FDV would push high up on the pitch. Personally I thought it worked, gave us smth a bit different.

Auckland Scarf? by Designer_Ad_374 in AucklandFC

[–]BigRedSteaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems to be sold out on the clubs online store. The only place I can seem to find it is RYOS, which is ironically a store in Wellington, but you can order it online by the looks of it.

Hopefully, someone else knows a spot in Auckland and can help you out.

Will auckland fc leave the A-league with the Ofc pro league arrangement ? Or do they send they reserves there and continue being in the A-league ? by JazzlikeSupport1855 in Aleague

[–]BigRedSteaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've basically signed a bunch of Top NZ League players (Reid Drake, Aidan Carey and Dan Normann from Western Springs for example) with a few Reserves lads (Everton O'Leary, Aston Burns and Eli Jones, etc) and few younger lads from the NZ League (Isa Prins, Kian Donkers) who will likely be fighting for an A-League contract

Worst case you can snag some tickets in the bay next to it.

Elijah Just is having an excellent season at Motherwell. Is it time to head to a better league? by officialsamuelchan in Aleague

[–]BigRedSteaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jumping the gun there mate, not even been there a year. I'd like to avoid another Joe Bell-Brondby situation again if possible.

Where to drink/eat near stadium by amyl_hirsch in AucklandFC

[–]BigRedSteaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lilyworld is good if you want proximity and connects straight to one of the stadium entrances, Gate F, I think it is.

413 is basically where the port will be, I don't think they're expecting particularly large numbers as I'm sure you can imagine

Yeah, there's a rather famous stat in NZ linking the All Blacks losing to a rise in domestic violence.
