I was worried I might not get the correct spelling for Wanaka but I think I've managed it. :D

Thanks as always Tony, and thanks for checking in on the spelling!

Beautiful part of the world and of course, if anyone knows of any exiled clarets, please put them in touch.

I've seen where they are staying for the weekend too - it's no doss house that's for sure. I don't know whether they've got me down for another guest appearance.

I’m keen on this. Couple of good nights out. Now whether I manage to stay in the pub until the game could be a challenge.

I’m a NZ claret who actually lives in Queenstown, I’ll be down the pig for a pint that Friday but unfortunately can’t join for the whole weekend as have football and work commitments.
Any how thanks for posting on here CT and look forward to meeting some fellow spark sport 4am watchers.

I realised after posting the article that his mum & dad were on the picture I used.

Really good people Tony, who we are still in touch with 👍🏻

We invited them down, but they were in the Middle East supporting Chris at the World Cup Qualifiers

I think the Pig and Whistle were one of the teams they played against!

Hope it’s a good meeting. Just back from Huddersfield with the West Yorkshire Clarets. Perhaps slightly less exotic 🤣
