I'm going to stand up for the Port poster on here... Stop being so bloody precious!
I don't see them coming on here as trolling - especially if we set up a page specifically to let it run wild. So long as they are not on every page spewing crap who cares.
Why have a page on here dedicated to the other team, if you don't want to engage with them when they come on - stay on the other pages.
A healthy rivalry can only help grow the game of football in NZ... something I would of thought we could all get in behind!

So far they’ve come on here to talk about starting a debate, a discussion, to sell us an opportunity…
I suggested for example a contest of who could raise more for a specific charity, which got ignored, perhaps poor reading skills.
They haven’t given us any opinion or anything about AFC. The thread is full of discussion about signings, potential signings, social media style, the various owners, the pre-season, potential starting 11, if there’ll be a marquee, the quality of the badge design, the quality of the stadium chosen, the derby, how many Kiwis will make the starting 11…they’ve offered nothing on any of the discussions in this thread.
If this person wants have banter or whatever then they’re more than welcome to set up an AFC forum, Facebook page, subreddit etc to host that. This forum is for Phoenix fans to discuss things relating to the Phoenix, including our various opponents.
I do feel there's gotta be a slight amount of leverage accounting for the unique situation we're in, with a brand-new club sprouting up that is inevitably going to cause some Nix fans to spread their interest. As the 'rivalry' is still in its infancy, I think that a bit of coordination is definitely in the best interests of both sets of fans as we try to nail this golden opportunity to increase the public interest in NZ football
Seeing vitriol this hard, this early from both sets of fans is a bit disconcerting I can't lie
