Kelvinkcm Blog: Crusaders cheer up our city

Friday the 4th is a big day in Nelson city, where Crusaders play Waratahs at Trafalgar Park for Super 15 Rugby clash. Crusaders is our favorite team. As soon as we know the game will be relocate to Nelson because of the Christchurch Earthquake, we get out tickets in no time.

We pay $15 each for GA as i can walk around to take photos, rather then seat at one place

To ensure that we get a good spot(nearer to the field), we arrive at about 6pm. Its a nice evening and the stadium just started to fill up.

As we walking around to look for our desire place, i try to snap a few shot of the crowd.... looks like its all over crusaders today. i hardly see any waratahs supporter. Mind you crusaders are red and black.

pretty little girl...look at her eye

Before the game start, four crusaders round the field.

Here they come

Both team lining up on the field for a minute silence to honour 29 men who died in the Pike River Mine disaster. As such, crusader will be wearing special edition jersey in red and white(west coast colour). After the match, the jersey will be sign by every particular player and put up on trademe. Sales will be given to the 29 victims trust.

I'm not commenting about the match, let the picture say it.
