Not even a mention of Wellington?

If the bit about the end of the week is true then that's good news.

If they made their decision earlier they might not have had those issues.

When was the last time Wellington had an All Whites match? The Paraguay friendly? That was yonks ago. Are they just not considering us because we have Nix games every other week?

Having some of these games couldve been a good thing for us i think, the atmospheres been a bit dull for a while so couldve made for a good change to have the AWs here, perhaps even a good win couldve had a welcome carry on effect for the following Nix games in terms of people wanting to turn up to watch. Variation is good

To be fair I'm not that upset that Wellington hasn't had more. It's not like the All Whites have played in other parts of the country several times since we last had a game, more frustrating is that fact that they don't play very frequently, rather than Wellington getting left out. 

When was the last time Hamilton had an all whites game, before you start complaining about Wellington not getting enough. We showed up the last time the Nix were here and we have had nothing since (or before for that matter!)

 Would make more sense than NHS, that's for sure.

Add Westpac Stadium to the mix:

 Not a silly idea. make it an evening match so its a bit cooler - gotta take any advantage we can

"Determined to avoid similar situations, New Zealand Football high performance manager Fred de Jong said yesterday that wherever possible matches would be played only in Fifa windows at which time the players must make themselves available."

De Jong, haven't you noticed that players aren't coming back during FIFA windows?

Just looking at the location of games, if we just look at Games in NZ since 2006 (There is a three year gap in All Whites in NZ fixtures before that), then games have only been played in Auckland (5), Wellington (3) & Christchurch (2) during that time. Since the World Cup Auckland has had 3 fixtures, while Wellington & Christchurch have had 1 apiece. Below are all games in NZ since 2000 if anyone is interested

#AllWhitestoHamilton

I think Auckland needs more games.

Who on earth are Dunfermilne?

LOL - "Just a small club in Scotland"

Is someone able to enlighten me as to why they were playing against the All Whites?

Oh wow you have not heard of Dunfermline.... Hmmm. Toni Christie scored in one of those games didn't he? There is a name that vanished.

Yeah 2002 was a bit before my times (hope that makes you feel old JV <insert winky emoticon here>)

61 this year...

Jesus that does make you a young 'un.

A country should never play a town, just as a matter of principle. It's demeaning.

 The game here was in front of about 1200  people and it was fucking freezing (if my memory serves).

I was there too.

Going way back I was also at NZ vs Watford at Athletic Park.

I mean Watford? Dunfermline? These aren't even cities. Wtf?

My first All Whites game was apparently at Newto(w)n park in front of 19,500

 Sounds like a perfect place for Nix to play.

Oh Jason Batty....

Oh Danny Tiatto.

Yeah, Jason Batty in that game. Jesus wept.

When I think about it I've seen some dreadful football in my life.

Not NZ international but my first game in NZ was Wellington vs Stoke City at the Basin Reserve in 1973.

Can remember exactly feck all about it, except the local boys didn't take kindly to a couple of wog kids who spoke with pommy accents.
