It's not a test match so it must be a friendly.

Also noticed in that news hub video that Darran Bazeley was helping out.  Is it normal for youth team coaches to be involved with the National team?

Not going to the game as in the UK but just brought 4 tickets for my brother in Law (and family) to watch a Kiwi team win after the AB result!!!

I hope it's a good turn out, better crowds will hopefully equal more games at home in the future.

Away goals are still worth double though

Heard Peter Taylor on Radio Sport on the drive home last night, thought it was Anfony talking for a while - they sound just the same. Getting a team talk from those two must be like listening to an episode of Minder!

NZF hoping for 10,000 acc to NZ Herald.

NB Herald also says Wynne now finished season with Vancouver. So where's he going to play now?

Just purchases 2 tickets in Sec 2, had about 80% of the Sec 2 area to choose seats in, so plenty of room. I saw someone on Twitter suggesting they're hoping for 10k

That's what happens when you skimp of the photography budget for the marketing and use one of five players at the U20WC last year that hardly any of the general public would have heard of.

Yeah not good at all :/ Will be interesting to see how it goes in the next few days though. Had a look yesterday and the gold blocs near the middle were barely half full, but now some look sold out.

Middle blocks with the tunnel is now sold out.

The half way line blocks are selling none too badly.

The White Noise section is going to be lonely, drunken and noisy.

I put my family in the zone beside the Noize and not in it as neither they or I can understand why the Fever/Noize stand up for 90 minutes, blocking people's views etc ruining the good vibes that emanate from it.  

Standing doesn't happen much here in the UK anymore (I've been to 10 games this season (the grounds of Truro, Plymouth, Leeds, Reading, Watford, Wycombe, Oxford) and everyone seated but chanting away.

A nightmare. Looks like half the designated car park beside the stadium is now a building site. Think they're building a swimming pool! Another NHS "amenity".

Gotta have something for the NZF staff to do on their breaks.

"Albany Stadium Pool is a different offering to other pools in Auckland Council's leisure network...

A zero depth splash pad will provide NZF staff with their first aquatic experience with exciting splash and spray water toys, slides and a large play structure for staff to develop confidence ... There will be a permanent climbing wall in the deep end ..  Other facilities include spa and sauna, fitness and group exercise area, room available for party hire... "

Would it probably be easier to park in the cbd and then get a bus to albany or something?

Possibly, but I don't think parking will be too much of an issue to be honest. It's not peak hour traffic or anything....I went to the U20 semi at NHS last year and got a park pretty easily.

but then I found myself in a pub between the car and the stadium, had a few drinks and missed the first goal....so that wouldn't happen
