I'm a new Phoenix fan this season. I'm originally from Auckland, presently in the United States for university though. Been mostly a rugby fan all my life, but after watching the All Whites at the World Cup this year I decided to follow the Phoenix, closest to a home team I could get! Except maybe Auckland City... but I'm pretty sure NZFC games don't get televised, here or elsewhere, so I couldn't watch them since I'm stuck in the USA another two years.

good on you Tricia, what part of the US are you in? and do you follow an MLS team?
A lot of the phoenix games are streamed online so as long as you've got a good computer and internet access you'll be able to watch them.

I'm from near the west coast. I don't follow an MLS team because there isn't one nearby, the closest geographically are LA Galaxy.

And yeah, I haven't missed a single Wellington Phoenix game that I wasn't at work during (which was both matches of the Melbourne doubleheader - d'oh!). It's a lot of fun to finally have my "own team" to follow, rather than watching European leagues as a neutral.

Haha, Tricia isn't my real name, I'm named after a character from my favorite book, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Trillian to be specific, though her earth name is Tricia McMillan.

I might post my real name later, I've unfortunately had some trouble with e-stalkers lately so I'm kind of paranoid about that kind of thing at the moment.

Bl##dy Nix! How dare they not ensure international tv coverage of coalface football?

Another honest Kiwi Akld fan stolen by the Wgtn-based Oz-team full of foreigners and token Kiwis.

Is there something wrong with me wanting to follow the Wellington Phoenix from overseas?

you should take it with a hint of sarcasm.
Their is a portion of the NZ football community that don't like what the Nix are doing for the game in NZ.
Junior82 isn't one of them, but is parodying them quite well.
 
BTW, welcome to the forums.

I haven't left yet.

I'm kind of intimidated by the discussion on this site though, since it's my first season following the Nix, people are talking about things that I have no clue about.

Like all internet forums this place is a series of lame in-jokes and rampant idiocy.

Once people accept that, they just fit in.

Tricia. When i said you had potential i was speaking in a forum sense, nothing more nothing less. Unfortunately a few people on here try to sully my good name. Once you get to know me and my forum habits i'm sure you will love me for the forum favorite i am.

Three for me, and two for them.

Most of us talk about things we have no clue about.

Don't let it bother you.

As you can see, Buffy usually talks a load of boll*x. (But he has practised so long & hard, he has got very good at it)

We're the WELLINGTON Phoenix
