Phoenix Sponsorship

If they legitimately gave full access to all the code and the UK (the GCHQ did it) did a line for line audit then they aren't going to be able to hide it.

All tech companies spy on you. Don't fall for this yellow peril bullshark from Trump and cronies.

yeh, fark all that bs tho- what do you think all the other tech companies do? 

Huawei sponsored us through the end of Ernie and Kalezic. Sad that that support is forgotten and caught up in the great game this way. I mean, there's not much new info out there, just all of a sudden it's a big deal. 

A bit scary the way we're herded from all directions.

I for one welcome our Chinese overlords with open arms. 

I say give credit to Huawei for loyalty to the relationship. Sure its mutually beneficial but that is the idea of sponsorship. Huawei are demonstrating that they're not just 'fair weather friends', and we have the longevity of the sponsorship support to show for it.  

They may not be overly fond of your employer.

I for one welcome any job opportunities our Overlords present me with the expertise I have gained working for their Japanese Enimies 

China is invading countries quietly by investing in their infrastructure, waiting until they fall into debt and then claiming parts of the country. (i.e. Sri Lanka and Hambantota's 99 year lease)

America bombs countries to smithereens for no reason, resulting in hundreds of terror cells who want to bomb us back.

Who is, objectively, worse for us in little ol' NZ/Aus? (of course, China are also currently committing mass Uyghur brainwashing so...)

Finland? Sweden? South Korea? Those are the countries where the big players in 5g are based (apart from china)

My wife and her sister each tried one of their phones for a year And they both use something better now.

Ok give this shark a rest

Wonder what this means for content / football coverage / and how much Sky will pay for broadcast rights?

Think its ultimately positive that we have them onboard

SkySports doesn't pay unless its Rugby that's why we will never get a FFA Cup game in NZ! They don't want to pay for production.

If it was anything worthwhile or meaning full they would have stated it in the release but no!.

We don't play home FFA Cups matches cuz the FFA doesn't wanna pay the travel costs for clubs to come here. It is nothing to do with Sky.

Fortune Favours become the clubs beer of choice

is it a real Beer or a brotek fruity beer?

May have to taste test this one?

Does this mean no more bar tent on the turf?

That's what I thought, I guess so.  I love Fortune Favours beers. Wellingtonian is a good staple.

maybe just a change of beverage?

my son works there.

Anyone know if the Churchill will host the Phoenix team like they did last year? The Phoenix website had them as sponsors last time I checked but no other information. Their website says they are closed on Sundays.  Their phone message says 'open every day'.  However, no human being is answering their phone. Confused?  I am.  

Wondered the same as hadn’t seen anything announced. 

But found something in this link

Trump ban preventing Huawei using Google has been extended for another year, I've got a p30 Pro which is a good phone still but they've gotta be loosing money on the p40 and eventually the p50. It can't be good for the nix.

Rob with an SOS to Grant for the government to pump $ into pro sport

I wonder how the owners businesses are going - Wellington airport is obviously going to be hit pretty hard but then Vodafone and CDC (which hosts the Microsoft Azure Central and Central 2 in Australia) would be going well. Todd energy has probably taken a hit with the collapse in oil.

Seems like we've lost fortune favours.

Edit: ignore.

why you say that?

I asked a mate who was going past there to see if they were making any Fever Pitch for Friday and he said they no longer make it, then I looked at the Phoenix sponsorship page and they had no mention of FF, then I looked at the FF social media and it's all about the Hurricanes with no mention of the Phoenix.

The sponsor is Wgtn hospitality group /Kapura who own FF. You maybe have noticed Nix trying to direct fans to their bars all day every day.

Ah okay, yeah I've noticed that - didn't realise they were one and the same. Shame they're not doing a Phoenix beer though.

Might be a season thing? I certainly hope so. Wasn’t bad

so 442 isn't coming back?

That was garage project who fortune favours replaced.

Think The Churchill still offers a Phoenix beer.

? We're happy to announce a partnership with New Zealand's largest telecommunications and digital services company, @SparkNZ, as they become our official technology partner.

Welcome to the #Nix family! ??

Wonder what that means for Huawei sponsorship.

From a comment the Spark account made in the Twitter thread it seems the aleague rights may be headed to Spark Sport in the not too distant future.
