It is truly wonderful to see the support that Tasman United has within the community and I’m sure it impresses the visiting teams to be playing in front of a proper crowd. Let’s make some noise and ensure the team is spurred on by the support from the sidelines. It is important today to secure a win and get the Tasman Bandwagon rolling again after a couple of unfortunate results where points have been dropped. Please ensure we raise the roof from the stands with noise as it lifts the team knowing they have such fervent support! I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all those behind the scenes that make these home games so special, and the work undertaken by the TASMAN United committee to ensure the viability and sustainability of the club cannot be underestimated. Many of you will have heard about the closure of Trafalgar Park in early January and suffice to say at this stage we are currently going through a process with the council to ensure that football ultimately benefits from our good grace in relinquishing the ground early this season to ensure the City of Nelson benefits hugely from the All Blacks game and that the playing surface at Trafalgar is fit for that match and moreover for National League games in the future. We have already been assured by the council that they see Trafalgar Park as the home ground of Tasman United moving forward and in replacing the surface this summer does actually mean we will have the ground for the whole of the 2018/19 season. I acknowledge our sponsors too, their support is huge. We hope you all appreciate their goodwill, as we do. Our major sponsors Nelson Pine LVL, Sprig and Fern Brewery and Bayleys deserve the full support of this community in their business endeavours as they show such support to community teams, like Tasman United. That is not to forget the other sponsors are also deserving of mention; Football Unlimited, Plus4 Insurance, Absolute Energy, NZME, NextGen Energy, BMG, BCM, The Sign Shop, Kahurangi Estate, and Nelson Golf Club, who all contribute to the cause wholeheartedly and considerably. A warm welcome is extended to our visitors from Waitakere and I know they will appreciate the facilities and home team hospitality either side of the game. Go Tasman!! Clive Beaumont General Manager Nelson Pine LVL Tasman United would like to thank our sponsors… Coach’s comments… Match Day Sponsor… I’d like to welcome Chris, his coaching staff, and the players from Waitakere United to Nelson. Although it is still early in the season, Both teams need to stay in touch with the leading pack, and try not To drop any more points at this stage. This situation pretty much guaranties an open and entertaining game, that, I’m sure the Spectators will appreciate and enjoy. And we will have to be at the top of our game against a Great Waitakere team to get a positive result. The players are looking forward to playing in front of our home supporters again, and are Keen to right a few wrongs from the last game in Nelson. All the best to both teams today.
