In response to AJ13: (cant paste the quote on safari)
But they played Tahiti away first anyway. So had to travel either way. The only advantage to what you suggest would be to the Phoenix,as the nix players wouldn't have to travel back to Wellington after the game.
Well yeah an away game is an away game, you have to travel and you dont get any say. We have two games over the next window, home and then away, as opposed to the last two windows which started as away fixtures and then home. Seeing as we have a home fixture straight up, against the other strongest side thus far - we should just stay put. It makes sense. Why travel when you dont need to?
And we wont be selling any more tickets anywhere else. Auckland have had theres, Chch have had theres, Dunedin wont have theres. Who else is there... Hamilton? Cant see a big crowd showing up there.
