Re: New Zealand Clarets ready for the weekend
They seem to have got themselves very organised - Chris Wood has got involved and they've now got Payts on zoom. Hope they have a really good weekend.

Re: New Zealand Clarets ready for the weekend
Its strange to think that, despite being the farthest we could possibly be from Turf Moor, that arguably this weekend, we will have the most Clarets fans gathered in one place with up to 30 expected. A very strange situation to be in!
Barney at Melbourne Clarets might challenge me on that one, but I'm pretty sure we will take 1st place.....
Thanks for all the previous well wishes, and one last push - if anyone knows of anyone in NZ who wants to join us, or otherwise, if you are reading this and want to join us, please get in touch.
We will communicate pictures through the weeked, via Tony, and I'm sure he will have them up online next week.

Some of the boys are hoping for a cross Tasman meet up at some point, so letโs hope thatโs something we can all look forward to once the world goes back to normal!
Iโm already eyeing up 7 a side- NZ CLARETS vs Aussie Clarets!

They seem to have survived last night's video call with me. Have to admit I was worried they might not.

Edit: just had a look back.
Man City game 3 seasons ago we had 20
Man Utd Boxing Day game. We had 24.
We mightโve had more for the Charlton promotion game.
Fantastic for you you guys to get so many together. Wish I was there, love Wellington.

Re: New Zealand Clarets ready for the weekend
They have phones off and not checking anything so they can watch it as live. I did a video call with them last night and they were going to repeat it this evening but I told them not to, that the expression on my face would probably give the result away. Losing and playing badly is horrible but it isn't anything like as bad if there is a group of you so they'll watch it, get brassed off but have a few beers and that will be it just as we would be doing now if travelling home from West Ham.

Amazing weekend despite the result.
So happy to share with people at home and will have some pictures up this weekend!
About 10/15 west ham fans joined us this morning and then a pretty hungover stag do, so ended up with a decent atmosphere! UTC
