Auckland Feverites!
Auckland Feverites!
be where? we've still got two strong contenders for official yellow fever auckland pup. I've been to Four Nations both weeks and its been good, even got a round of Wellington Is Wonderful in after the Bertos goal. And the bartender wore a nix hat for round one.
I haven't been to either but I vote Four Nations for the cheap pints and central location.
I can't make it this weekend anyway but I will do my best to be along next Sunday.
What's Four Nations like? Is it a case of they will roll out the red carpet on Sunday but shove us in the corner with no sound on Friday? Or is it a smaller, sport orientated bar?
Also, perish the thought but will the Nix get snubbed for egg chasing on a Friday or Saturday?
Barfifa is pretty much a shrine to football and for this reason alone should be supported. It was my first visit and a reasonable size crowd on Sunday who were all pleased to see Greenarces equaliser go in. Suspect rugby or League will never get priority here and they also have SPL/EPL from Setanta on a few screens.
Not sure on all the prices, but if you need cheep beer do some preloading as the industry watch dogs say.
Challenge for the Bar is to get the new Phoenix shirt on the wall.
My thoughts exactally, my Sunday business will go to a location that will allow me to watch the Nix on a Friday and/or Saturday as opposed to one who chucks it on when there's nothing oval happening.
Four Nations, for sure, wouldn't be up to much phoenix wise on a friday or saturday. This however is due to it being a faux-irish viaduct suit bar and not blind devotion to the oval codes. I'll need to go to this barfifa to be convinced it's worth the extra cost. Also not convinced by this "pleased to see Greenarces equaliser go in" nonsense, I hope you mean, "we had to apologise to the bartenders profusely for all the spilled beers and knocked over chairs that followed the equaliser going in"

Really? Didn't think anywhere in NZ showed it! Wish there was somewhere in Wellington that had the Aussie satellite for Setanta

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but Brownie and I are meeting at Barfifa on Dominion Rd (above Glengary's) for the game on Sunday - I was there last Sunday and there were half a dozen or so of us. Really football friendly bar, they have Setanta on as well so you can usually follow a couple of games on the multiple screens.
See you there - be good to get a bit of an atmosphere.
Cheers and Beers
