2017/18 Phoenix Fixtures

Draw gets released at 2pm NZ time.

Things I would like to see:

ADL/PER, SYD & MEL double headers

FIFA Windows

Sunday Afternoon games

Only 2 Home & Away games

Things we will probably get:

None of the above

7pm Sunday Kick Offs

FFA accidentally published a a summary of the draw on their website early. Only Nix related tidbit is that we are playing the NYE game at CCM.

Piecing together the Rnd One leaks, its City vs Brisbane, CCM v Jets, Victory v Sydney, WSW v Glory leaving us to play Adelaide.

I hope that the FFA took Muscats comment seriously and scheduled us vs the Victory in the international window as it seems as though they'll be in line to lose 4 or 5 players (including their complete front row) so will be pretty comparable to us.

I hope our first game isn't at home as it always clashes with Bathurst and this year, I'm actually going to be there.

Fixed

QBE? Ffs.

Draw looks good

1 Wednesday night, 8 Saturday night, 1 Sunday afternoon & 3 Sunday night games

23rd December vs Sydney for 12 Pubs.

No more Travelling Circus. Only 1 home/away game in Auckland 17th March, 12 games at Westpac this year

I wouldn't be so sure 

The club are happy to announce that at least 10 games will be played at Westpac Stadium this season, with 1 or 2 home games to be hosted elsewhere, the specific dates of which are yet to be confirmed.

So Kosta returns to the stadium on December 3rd at the family friendly time of 7pm Sunday, and then will be back in January.

Ernie and Mossy don't come back to Wellington at all. 

We're away to Jests then Home to Perth during the intercontinental playoffs

Then the draw list isn't final on stadiums because list I've seen it is all Westpac apart from the one Auckland game, so must be planning on moving one

Yeah same. That draw you've seen was linked in the same press release I got that quote from though, which is weird?

Maybe if Wellingtonians pull finger out and actually turn up to RoF games (no whining about weather, traffic, parking, food, "bad time for the kids", the team are losing, Welnix don't write me enough emails or offer me swag etc), then Welnix will reconsider and there will only be that one Auckland game taken away from Da Hoam Ov Phootball.

Good draw.

First week of the A-league could be a FIFA International window so our backup stars could be called to the frontline if NZF has a friendly planned. Also Jets and Glory to be playing our backup squad if the All Whites make it to the Inter-Continental play-off.

Ernie and the Jets at the Sandpit in March? Nice.

Here is just the Wellington Phoenix games, Green is Saturday, Red is Sunday and Yellow is Wednesday home games. Light green is Saturday in Auckland

overall pleased with the draw. Good to see only one game taken away from wellington. How many was it last season? 3-4?

Don't pin your hopes on that.  The release clearly states at least 1 maybe 2 more likely to be moved away.

Sat 28th Oct versus Brisbane at Westpac is a piss poor clash with Alice Cooper

:(

sunday night. fark that

to try maximise crowds to their event? 

We all know the FFA could not give a fudge about crowd at the events.  As long as Murdoch and the Fox management are happy they don't give a fudge about anyone else.

Needs more Friday night home games, those Sunday night games can gtfo.

The only people complaining about a lack of swag that I've seen is Aucklanders, last year the excuse that everyone on here gave was that they didn't get a free ticket.

I'm referring to one particular forumite who has a grudge about having been a member since 2007 and he don't get no respect, you know who I mean.

7 PM Sunday KOs: Sydney 3 (One is  a Sydney Derby), City 3, CCM 3 (One is the NYE game), Nix 3

6:30 PM Sunday KOs: Adelaide 2

6 PM Sunday KOs: Roar 2, WSW 1

I am a supporter of the Phoenix football team so long as every game is exactly when I want it.  Otherwise I'll whine about the FFA and Murdoch and Welnix and every other thing I can think of.

Jesus, once upon a time you guys were sort of fun.  Now you are all just a bunch of moaning wankers. :)

Ten or more home games of A League football.  Fudgeing hopeless.  We should have the Premier League here.  And only the top six teams.  And maybe the top four Champions League sides, but that's it.  And fudgeing not on Sunday. 

Will they confirm the 1 or 2 extra "home" games outside Wellington before season tix go on sale? I'll miss 4 games while away over school holidays, and then possibly these 1 or 2 other games. Of the games I can attend, 3 are at 7 pm on Sunday nights, 1 is on a Wednesday night, and 1 is in Auckland if I manage to get up there. The Nix Six pass has never looked so tempting.

I know!

The first game is during School Hols, the second is Alice Cooper.

Has anyone checked the other dates up against Ed Sheeran and Lorde?

Lorde will give you the Green Light to skip her show.

NewsTalk - just said on the sports news - 3 home/away games for 2017/18

Phoenix themselves said 2 OR 3.

Who? Go on, name them

Shame about the game being at that sharkhouse North Harbour stadium though. If it was at Mount Smart, I would have been a lot happier as it is dead easy to get to via Bus and Train. Time to let someone else do the  driving so to speak.
