I just thought we need an excitement thread.
There's only something like 23 days to go. I am definitely excited. So much travelling to be done, so much football to be watched. Happy.

I'm  not excited . as my work usually starts around 2-4 ish and most games are played starting about 4 or later . so I had to cancel volunteering and watching all games except for the wellington QF . only game I will be able to make :(

quite nervous about putting in what will probably be about 8 seperate leave forms for next month. I should've been sneaky about it and put them in gradually.

All over the North Island. That figure includes the double headers at some venues.

Exams are pretty poorly placed for me, but I'll get to all the Dunedin games and am free come semifinal time.

Speaking of all the travel - does anyone own a van they could loan us for the duration? 5 people in a car for long journeys is not the most ideal of situations

That's an epic schedule you've got in place there. Almost wish I wasn't volunteering now so I could get to more games. Will be at all chch games plus Welly and Dunedin for the final group games at each

Team named, two weeks to go, getting more excited.

Still no van though. Please help otherwise I have to be squished in the back seat with a combination of either Hard News and El Grap, El Grap and Nz Dave, or Nz Dave and Hard News.  I might not survive. HELP ME!!!! Please.

The excitement of you guys and your epic road trip is making me excited.

Great to see even the fans are getting positive media coverage:

Weird that you're from Wellington and are getting all this attention from an Auckland paper rather than your local one though.
