I don't dispute that the westies can hold it where they want... Doesn't change the fact that their ground is a bit shit and I'll complain if I want. 


Imagine if the Phoenix got to the grand final (Haha! I know, I know - not a realistic analogy) and the opposition decided to play at a ground not dissimilar to Kiwitea St - 500 capacity stand and standing room for a couple of thousand more... You'd complain and don't deny it.

I don't think I would. If you finish first, you can play were you like. That's the perks of finishing first.
In reference to the Phoenix, If there was ever a time where they might win the regular season, I think its a given it would be held in Australia regardless and that would come with being a part of their competition so I don't think I would whinge. I also understand that whinging would not change it cause the FFA are not going to give a shit - they already try to skew it in a Sydney favour anyway...
I have no doubt that Fred Taylor is not the 'best' look for the competition but when the competition gets 3 men and a dog turn up with zero coverage all year (3 games on TV?) does it really make 2 shits of a difference? I also ask you Ali, are you going to be at the game supporting? If so, who cares how it looks on TV. I can tell you when I was at Eden Park for the Perth game, I did not really give a shit how it looked on TV. If how the product looked on TV made a difference, NZF would have been rowing that boat hard a long time ago in a bid to leverage off it (yes that's probably a funny statement as well - NZF being proactive)
Considering you guys are die-hard ACFC supporters and would take offence at having a game insinuated being moved from your ground by away supporters, you are being a bit insulting to the die-hard Waitakere supporters (and granted they are not as visual or vocal as you guys)
I can understand your pro ASB stance but it gives an appearance of only taking up that fight now that you guys made the final because the state of Fred Taylor was never raised at any other point in time in the season and when you consider they have been competition front runners for a while now...
