To save everyone some grief, we're going to lock this thread for a couple of days to give some people some time to reflect and chill out.
When it's reopened, we'd remind everyone that this is a forum for phoenix's fans. That's why there will only be one thread for the other NZ team so all related chat around the club can stay in there. And yes, there will be people who support both teams, but if people want to come here to troll/bait phoenix fans, they'll quickly be banned. There are plenty of Facebook groups people can use.
Nix and almost all clubs don't bother. Logically it's a pain, so they need to use a travel agent. And then the cost ends up being more than you could arrange yourself.
We organised a trip to Napier back in 2013. It was $190 for bus and 2 nights accommodation.
Yeah the prices surprised quite a few of us! What do the nix put together for your away packages? Is it a lot cheaper?
Booked separately I'd worked it out to be about $360 for that $490 package. Caveats - Intercity prices as a rough guide. Food & drink and other incidentals for the entire trip mean you probably wouldn't get much change out of $500...

Massive "if" though. I've been up to Auckland to watch football twice, and both times I've never experienced such a passionless and completely ambivalent crowd. I may well be wrong, I just can't see them getting the numbers for that

They got offered by Willament Travel a "cheap deal", which to everyone was quite expensive. As you said, the YF did a cheaper and brilliant job. The best Road trip ever. I miss it. We need a game in Napier again. On later excursions Willament Travel offered deals but again, way too expensive. They must have thought every YF fan was a Platinum Card holder.
Well some folks do coin Auckland “Sydney for beginners”
Like JJ I seriously doubt they can sell out the away bay. But pure maths does say yes there will be more expat Aucklanders in NSW than Wellingtonians, if that means much

yep, overseas some fan groups even run their own travel agency. There should be a healthy seperation between supporter groups and clubs.

I find this offensive to Aucklanders.
Yep- it doesn’t make that much sense. Let’s try this one.
You’re just a second hand Sydney, just a second hand Sydney! Sign up Alex Brosque, sign up Alex Brosque You know you should, you know he would Sign up Alex Brosque!

I reckon some in the North Shore would find this aspirational.

Is Sydney B Sydney B easier?? Or is it Sydney C??
We make Sydney coaches You’re just Sydney poachers x2 Atishoo, atishoo you fall down
Same old Sydney, always cheating
We can do all the chants. I’d have to get to a game first I guess…😟
Wondering where Auckland will use their last import spot, and whether it will be an import like Foley said it might be.
Squad with the rumoured imports looks like this: IMG_7333.jpeg501.51 KB My guess is the last import spot will be used on a winger. Corica will likely play a 433 but could potentially see a 4222 with May and Mata or another striker up top.
Free agent marquee level wingers include: - Ivan Perisic - Carlos Vela - Andre Ayew - Denis Cheryshev - Nacer Chadli
Free agent marquee level strikers include: - Anthony Martial (lol) - Wissam Ben Yedder - Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting - Kemar Roofe - Mario Balotelli
Balotelli would be incredible for the league though.
I was just trying to think what trouble he could get into in Auckland. Still after his career he might enjoy the city. Go to a few Warriors games. Not be the biggest deal in town.

Mario Balotelli. Yes, just do it for the LOL’s. He would be an absolute sensation off the field. It would be 100% show biz. He probably could bang in a few goals in the ALeague but he stopped running years ago(apart from the police)
