Team Wellington... no longer an association with Ole. Chur

They're both televised games?

Apparently due to the camera not being able to fully see the near side corner flag at the school end renders DFP as not a good venue. 

Plenty of parking on the side of the road, just gotta make sure they turn up with the OBS truck early enough before the parks fill up. 

Don't get me started. Could have had televised Tee dubs games all season. Just need some vision. Even fever Zone. (Sorry forgot they use THE TRACY HODGE STAND)

That sucks was keen to watch a game at Davey, much closer to the action than  Westpac. I'll still go and watch the game, I find Team Wellington a joy to watch rather than the other over paid Wellington team. Its like the value of going to watch football is lost as soon as you see how far away the field is at Westpac especially for a Ssprem team.

Team Wellington has drawn AS Magenta in the OCL semi-finals. 

The first leg will be played in Noumea on Saturday April 8, with kick-off at 8pm (9pm NZ), and the second at David Farrington Park on Sunday April 16 at 2pm.

Didn't seem to be a problem when Saturn used to broadcast games from there

The Champions League game will be at DFP.

On the SSP semi, as far as I'm aware we're still talking to the relevant people about where it will be played. Westpac isn't a 100% certainty yet.

Can TeeDubs hijack Newtown Park?

Only if they can get game moved to the Saturday. Wellington Junior athletic champs are on at Newtown on the Sunday

latest sky guide  ACFC looks confirmed - TeeDubs not yet - Nix to popup? 

Logistically for NZF, it makes sense to have it at Westpac as they piggyback the expense on top of the FFA paying ticket.

Phoenix paying you mean.

also haven't clubs already paid a Sky fee? So really it's only saving Sky money. 

Semi 1605 at Davey F on Sunday.

this is the most amazing news. Well done Team Welly!

Shows they could have had TV games at Davey F all season really. 

Longer term games at smaller venues with better atmosphere are the future for the league.  I was a bit dubious about whether getting the game son TV was the be all and end all, but in fact it's been a really positive development I think

If there are logistical complications/stresses for the skeleton crew that does these games, a one off is different to 2 or 3 during the season.

That's only an extra game or two...I'm sure they could have coped, TW paid them good money after all. 

I can vouch from my personal experience that the TV / YouTube coverage has massively improved my interest in the SSP prem.

This year they've been light years ahead of where they were last year - first in terms of where matches have been played - no schlepping up to the QBE until the final (and the final isn't on a Thursday night, but a Sunday afternoon).

Smaller grounds are better, it's simple ain't it?

I wonder whether it has helped to attract players as well - TV coverage = potential youtube compilations to show scouts?

Kevin Fallon on contract?

adding car parks?

Croud estimate?

I'm picking somewhere between tipsy and half cut. 

Why doesn't it have sky sport coverage line that the Auckland City Hawkes Bay one? Just an oversight?

Not many.

Better parking and public transport at this game

Petone will face Wellington United next weekend in the Division One final of the BP Railway Avenue Tournament for the Hilton Petone Cup.

The final is scheduled for Sunday 26 March at 2.30pm at Petone Memorial.
