RWC Pool Match: Wallabies vs Ireland (Supporter meetup)

[Army_Gav]

I noticed that a few people are going over. It would be great if we could all meet up and be a big rowdy group.

There would obviously be beverages and singing involved (some nice and easy chants). Too often Aussie supporter have been quiet, it's time to get vocal.

Know a few Irish lads and a large number are planning on going over from Aus to NZ for that one.

 

[Tangawizi]

Yep I would be keen for that. Where to meet up though? Down at the big Live site on the waterfront or anybody know some good pubs?

"Is the pope catholic?" A pub for sure. I'm never been to Auckland, anyone care to make a few suggestions?

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Put me down as a tentative yes at this stage.

 

[Harfish]

Slight thread-jack here. I'm going to the Australia v Italy game (fucking earthquake, ruined my accreditation) so if any of you GAGR guys wanna catch up before or after the game, let me know. It's a 3:30 kick off too, lots of time after the game.

 

[MrTimms]

I will be at all the Aussie games, working up till kick off, but will be up for beers post game.

 

[rugbyskier]

I'm flying over from Sydney that day, arriving in Auckland at 3:20pm. Have booked a hotel near the airport and will drop the bags off and go straight to Eden Park. If anyone knows a prominent meeting point at the ground let us know.

 

[FiveStarStu]

Two words.

Yee. Haa.

 

[FiveStarStu]

Also, I recommend 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet as another chant.

You know you want to.

 

[Army_Gav]

Where is everyone sitting? I recall that we are Row F in Cat C area (one of the ends).

 

[Army_Gav]

Bump! We need a pub, any suggestions? I've never been to Auckland bro.

 

[dudebudstud]

I splurged and got some Category A seats, I really wanted to see this game! Is the plan to do a pre or post game meet up? Something near Eden Park makes sense.

 

[Tangawizi]

If we are all going to meet up in the CBD before heading out towards Eden Park then I would think either of the "Heineken Experience" in the Shed 10 part of the Livesite, or this pub - Fox's Ale House would be good spots. http://www.foxsalehouse.co.nz/general/category/page.html

If we're after somewhere near Eden Park, I reckon the Speights Ale House will do the trick. http://www.speightsalehouse.co.nz/index.html

Or for somewhere right next to the stadium, the Kingslander appears to be the go. http://www.thekingslander.co.nz/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

I vote for Speights Ale House or The Kingslander. Turns out the mate who's house I am staying at is a 25 min walk to Eden Park, so I vote for near the stadium

 

[Army_Gav]

Ale House or Kingslander that'll be the two.

Don't think it's possible to add a poll, just reply with your vote.

 

[rugbyskier]

Kingslander. I'll be bussing in from the airport so a place right next to the ground suits me the best.

 

[Army_Gav]

I vote for the Kingslander. It's right next to a train station, as well as a short walk from Eden Park.

Any objections?

 

[Hardtackle]

Many others going to the Wales Samoa game the next day in Hamilton? That game should be a cracker too.
