I passed through St Stephens a little earlier, Yeaman and Houghton were there, the former challenging a fan to a game on the Wii and the latter chatting and having photos taken. FC staff were there looking like they were taking season ticket orders so that was good to see.

Same when we passed earlier as well. I thought a couple of the overseas boys were due to make an appearance?

Heremaia and McKinnon took over from Yeamo and Whiting later on. Heremaia is like a grinning little boy of about 12. Can't believe he's 29! Both looked relaxed and cheerful. Heremaia was playing the Wii game with a little kid.

Was he any good on the Wii? If so we may need to recruit him for stick baseball.

I went with my daughter and all the players were really friendly chatty & very good with all especially with the kids. The new boys from Auz must have been soooooooooooooo impressed with us first our pen packed up while Wade was signing an autograph. Then while taking Aaron's photo I could not get the dam camera on my new phone to work & I had to get my 10 year old to sort it out. They were both brilliant laughing & joking. Lord only know what they thought
