Can't we all just get along? It's the same thing which has held back NZ Football since day dot - petty local jealousies and delusions of grandeur, eg clowns at places like Glenfield Rovers who think that there should be a club-based National League (just like back 'ome) and no understanding of the bigger picture. Like it or lump it the Phoenix are top of the pyramid in football here. Imagine if we all pulled in one direction....
Nothing wrong with passionately supporting your own team, but I sure don't get being grumpy about a team which is not even in the same competition as yours.
Well said - NZ football has always been held back by petty local jealousies. I just hope all these anti-ACFC outbursts on this forum don't make neutrals think Kiwitea Street is an unwelcoming fortress because it's not. Anybody is welcome to enjoy the passionate atmosphere, the good football, a great steak sandwich and a chilled beer at the best little ground in the land. You'll also find most of the City supporters very welcoming and friendly (like everywhere we do have the odd oddball), particularily if you turn up with a friendly attitude yourself. We love a laugh, a song and some friendly banter and most importantly watching football.
O please. People have repeatedly said they're not anti ACFC on here. Any poor perception of ACFC fans comes from you guys coming on here and attacking the nix and its fans, as well as acting like you're too good for the ASBP and acting like saviours (the competition would be dead if it weren't for us). Granted most of you have changed your tune now and actually seem quite welcoming. Long may that continue.
