2016/17 Phoenix Fixtures - Saturday Night Fever

Is the announcement in Auckland?

I have tried again, this time from home and it is not the / causing the problem. Anyone else wanna try a test message?

I just sent a test message & got a recieved reply.

tried again just now and the message went. I wonder if they were having genuine problems?

Dunno but the message you provided was definitely the / as that was the only syntax issue int he email address.  It would have said something like there is no email address at host as opposed to the format is wrong.

You got it. I don't fight wiv ladies.

Expecting us to get a rogering from Fox sports on kick off times again.

Amping myself up by listening to 80's Power Ballads!

I'm planning my first visit to the Westpac this season, looking forward to a weekend in Wellington. That I can remember. Bits of.

My expectations are suitably low.

Hoping, with 4 games being away, that they will be the 7pm on Sunday matches, which I reckon we will get a few of.

More likely to be Sat night games. Better for those of us who want to travel to the games.

My sources tell me the 'Home' schedule is gonna be 1 game in Gore, 1 in Kaitaia, 1 in Havelock North and 1 in Eketahuna. Rest of the games will be in Wellington, Sunday nights, 8.30 kick off.

Oh I WANT to travel.  And I will do a couple.  But nothing in the 4 home/away games is there for us who WANT to travel.  I WANT to travel to Aussie and watch us over there.  I WANT to travel to Westpac and watch us there.  Travelling to Auckland/Christchurch/Hamilton is not something I WANT to do

No Taihape, no party.

Right, its 1.30, who has my list of disappointment

Waikato Stadium December 10th

Mt Smart December 17th

Yarrow Stadium February 4th

QBE March 4th

I'll be able to do 3, cause I can drive at least 1

If you just want the Nix information it is better put here. http://www.wellingtonphoenix.com/article/wellingto...

• At A Glance 10 games at Westpac Stadium, 7 x Saturday 7.30pm, 2 x Sunday 7pm, 1 x Monday 7.35pm (2 January) 
• 1 game FMG Stadium, Hamilton. Saturday 10 December v Central Coast Mariners 7.35pm 
• 2 games in Auckland. Mt Smart, Saturday 17 December v Western Sydney Wanderers 7.35pm. 
• QBE Stadium Saturday 18 February v Melbourne City 7.35pm 
• 1 game Yarrow Stadium, New Plymouth. Saturday 4 February v Western Sydney Wanderers 7.35pm 

So we have no daytime kick-offs in NZ at all.

Wow, and here I was thinking that people would be happy because the dreaded Sunday evening games are minimised.

Reckon I can do both Auckland games, the Hamilton game and one of the Wellington games - three more than I did last year. Nice.

Nope, not kid friendly.

And here I thought you had been on these forums long enough to know there is also people unhappy!

Monday 2nd Jan in Wellington -> Thursday 5th Jan in Perth.

Who comes up with those things?! 

Lovin' it

1 game FMG Stadium, Hamilton. Saturday 10 December v Central Coast Mariners 7.35pm 

• Round 22: Saturday, 4 March 2017 - Wellington Phoenix v Perth Glory @ QBE Stadium, Auckland, NZ

Same day as Black Caps vs South Africa ODI at Eden Park. The entire Shore will be at Eden Park for that one.. terrible timing!!

So yeah .... about that "upto" four games

12 Pubs on November 19th?

Yeah, good call on the Tron.

Also, the Nix page gives two different dates for the second game - 18 Feb (Melbourne City) and 4 March (Perf). Perf is the one in the actual draw, but maybe it hasn't been finalised? Or just an error?

Pretty sure the FFA have been giving these things more thought for some time!
