Not quite as bad as I suspected, but a spot of proof reading would help.

Just hope their was a minor grammar improvement on your post.


The delicious irony of you misspelling "there" when complaining about someone else's grammar was not lost on me.

Except you don't. Can't see the people of CHCH supprting Adelaide over Wellington....
 
It is not just the crowd - it is the fact that players have a routine for home games that involves them being in their own abode and having family around them, as opposed to sitting all day in a hotel room watching one of their team mates picking his toenails.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked

It could also disrupt their routine having to prepare in unfamiliar changing rooms....

Frankie, do you have any insight into South Island changing rooms you could share with us.....

Don't say I didn't warn you when they get beat down in Scumchurch because the players all end up in each others boots, shorts, etc because they don't know where they are supposed to be in the changing room before the game.  Different sized pegs, benches instead of chairs, tiles instead of carpet - it all makes a difference.

heaven forbid the players having to cope with unfamiliar changing rooms. basically guarantees us losing away to gold cost & fury.

Palmy is acceptable for one year only - Christchurch is not. Next stop New Zealand Phoenix, ah please no!!! This excuse to go to Christchurch is just softening up for a regular fixture, shouldn't be happening.

we will never go down the road of NZ phoenix, automatically kills any chance of another kiwi team getting in to the league. A Palmy game is a great idea, its close enough to wellignton, and besides as long as the nix do something re travel prices which I think they are plannign then all good.

A true fan will go where the game is, its the same as travelling to an away game!

What a rip off package deal!! Deal for who? Not the fans. 
 
Jetstar air fare, night at CHCH airport (Free) or stay with friends (FREE) Sorry Willament travel, but really, you can do better than that and you know it.

I've bolded the key word for you, just in case you missed it!!! didn't say all the away games. Anyway, you've got plenty of cheap airfares around if you look hard enough. Stay in a backpackers if your too cheap to go with the wilament package.
