The switch comes despite the FFA refusing to switch two other games in similar circumstances and refusing a Jets offer to play the Phoenix in Newcastle on February 27.
It's believed the Jets may send a weakened squad, fearing injuries to their players from the schedule.
"In a close competition like we have at the moment, this decision could have a real bearing on our season,'' van Egmond said.
"To decline our compromise to play the game in Newcastle, claiming it would disadvantage Wellington, is insulting for the credibility of the A-League competition, our players and fans."

What a gracious offer by the Jets there. Transfer our home game to Newcastle, sandwiched in between two games in NZ.
