i like the upper hutt, or any lower hutt idea

but any decision would have to weigh cost savings benefits with the main location of the supporter base. the phoenix will have stats on this.

for example, western/northern suburbs fans need to make 2x train trips, there will be a drop off. if southern suburbs need to travel further, there will be a drop off. offset of course by ease of access from the hutt valley. who knows, there could be gains.

i've said this for a long time. tickets are far too expensive. i'm told stadium costs are to blame. any move to reduce ticket prices would help a lot. far less fans are in the habit of attending games regularly. cost is a deterent, but the real damage comes from match going habits within the wider target market dropping away due to cost. this has been an ongoing downwards spiral. the phoenix is now a 1x or 2x a season treat for many.

Imagine if everyone attended most weeks? This would be driven by affordable cost that re-establishes the match going habit. This would drive increasing brand engagement which would significantly increase non matchday revenue, via merch, TV rights, etc.
