I have no custom Wellington team name to top that!
I can't think of anything either! I just have more Auckland/me related ideas.

I love the AFL channel here and the random shit they show mid-summer. Oooh yeah, let's watch some random round 10 game from 1979.
Though I heard it's now stopped broadcasting. Not being somebody who has pay TV, I wouldn't know either way.

I remember staying somewhere in Sydney a few years ago that had that channel, and i flicked it on because the AFL GF had been on a week earlier so i wondered what they showed....
They had the grand final on, overlaid with a microphone feed from the coaches box.

I'd love to see something like that done for the grand final last year. I can imagine it now.
Early in the third quarter
Geelong coach: Fuck, I forgot to bring a book to read. Anybody want to play cards?
Port coach: *weeping*

Geelong coach: Check out the blonde in the sixth row
Port coach: *back of the coaches box checking out the quickest route to the bus*

At about this point, the Port coach realises he is sooo fired and weeps even more.

Forget the team bus, he's walking back to Adelaide.

Holy shit, you're right. Apparently I fucked up the length of the God Is An Astronaut song by accident.
How the hell did I do that?

XXXX beer just about makes my skin crawl. When I was about 14-15, I went to see Queensland vs NSW in the cricket at the 'Gabba and this one guy sitting down my aisle was one of the biggest bogans ever - both in attitude and physical size. He wore this gaudy XXXX shirt and got up about every 30 minutes to get more XXXX. By the end of the game, he was spilling the stuff everywhere - luckily we weren't in his firing line. I think he was unconscious by the end of the game.
Great game though, mainly due to the crowd. Everybody got bored in the middle of one team's innings, I forget whose now, and began making paper planes and throwing them onto the field. One made it all the way to the pitch!

Cricket crowds are the best.
I remember one guy at Eden Park who not only made a paper dart make it to the field, but also land and dig it's nose into the turf.

Now what?
I'm gonna have to remove a song.
My Bloody Valentine would transition into God Is An Astronaut on its own anyway, so I guess I'll ditch the Prince song.
Ah well, no big deal there. I was going for more diversity with that one, anyway.

Hah, that's awesome.
The amount of paper planes people were throwing was incredible. Plenty of them were landing in the outfield. The crowd began cheering any that got to the infield. It seemed like most of us stopped paying attention to the game and waited for somebody to throw one that reached the pitch.
Not long after one did, the cops started really clamping down on people throwing planes. I saw a few people evicted.

Well, that's fine by me, as I don't like Prince in the first place.
Though there's an early version of PT's Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape that opens with a cover of The Cross that's pretty fucking sweet.

I do enjoy some Prince, although certainly not everything. He sometimes gets a bit too excessive for his own good.
But The Cross is a damn fine song. The guy can certainly rock the fuck out when he wants to. He should've done it more often.
PT did a cover of The Cross?
I've never heard that. I'll have to check it out.- Status
