both ACFC and the Phoenix are doing good things for NZ football I as an ACFC fan can not deny that
Careful nb1 - between you, Doloras & Footpaul you will shatter my prejudices about you northerners.

I admit I am a member of the 248 service crew and have been partaking in Anti-Phoenix chants but I have come to the conclusion that it is possible to live in Auckland and support the Phoenix they do play in completley different leagues afterall
and I did pass seventh form geography and know that the phoenix are based in Wellington NEW ZEALAND not Wellinggong New South wales so our argument about the phoenix being aussie is a bit stupid and I have never heard Wellington Basketball or Rugby League fans calling the Breakers or the Warriors Aussie Teams so I don't understand why we ACFC fans do not consider the Phoenix a New Zealand team

what I must say is that the Anti Phoenix sentiments held by some ACFC supporters are there not because the Phoenix exist it is because the media only acknowledge the All Whites the NZ age group teams and the Nix the ASB premiership does not really get a look it that is what annoys many Auckland City FC fans however the lack of coverage for the ASB premiership should be an issue nationwide and it should not promote phoenix hating sentiments

Three things.
1, How is that the Phoenix's fault?
2, Doesn't that insinuate it would be different without the Phoenix? It never was before the Phoenix so I'm intrigued how people can claim it would all change without them now.
3, I never heard the same complaints about the Kingz or the Knights which does kind of smack of jealousy and hypocrisy.
I'd also say based on the posts from Loz, Phil, Wayward, Chris and Ali that that certainly isn't the only problem they have with them, and like it or not they are the public face of the City support.

personally I don't have a problem

- It is not the Phoenix's fault it is the fault of the NZ media who do not give a crap about all local football
- It lack of coverage would still not be different without the nix with the phoenix's participation in the A League the profile of the game has been raised in this country thats without a doubt

Come to MAP games. Most of our first team's home games are under lights on Friday so you can get good and boozed after work.

Actually I am on Nicks boat. I would like the Nix but it just gives me something to blame. I just hate the fact, that many Aucklanders are at home waiting for an EPL or Phoenix game, when they could come along to a live game in their own city. Come to local games and watch some pro games on tv and Im happy.
I have no problem with the Nix, just the NZ media which obviously is more drawn to the A-League, but should do more for the local league. And, I get a bit aggravated with the Nix making jokes of the "knitting-circle, Spanish team, and the anti-Nix chants" which aren't true.
@Hard News, I had no clue who the Knights even were until a year ago, so no jealousy at all.chris.acfc2011-05-04 23:17:12

[QUOTE=chris.acfc]Hard News gives me the exact reason why I wont support Phoenix next season. The 'About Yellow Fever' page says "Hard News puts most of his efforts in to supporting the game". This is crap as he should be supporting NZ football (at least in some form - such as getting a few thousand supporters out to Team Welly too) and not just some foreign Aussie league. By NZ Football bailing out Phoenix so many times, the lack of money is choking our local league from becoming pro, hence the reason why they have to 'cheat' the system. So I hate Phoenix now and hope it gets axed, and am enjoying watching some of ACFC's recent games.
Contradiction much?
