Stealing this from 442 forums in regards to Fred's article about taking more games away from Wgtn:

Yep, one or two "away" home games max, otherwise you can't really call them the Wellington Phoenix anymore.
Had a good laugh at this comment:

But lastly, the style of football played is, to be frank, boring. The Phoenix are great when they are very direct at goal...it creates way more opportunities and is more exciting to watch. This flash passing game they are trying to play is just horrible. I would love to know the stats of how many passes go backwards against how many passes go forwards, and how many times the keeper touches the ball from a back pass against from an opposition player. I think they would make interesting reading. The two teams I most dislike watching, when they are in a holding pattern, are Brisbane and the Victory. It seems the Phoenix are trying to emulate them...which is a shame.
Total football FTL. :lol:

I wasn't in my normal spot in the FZ on the weekend and sat with some friends in aisle 28. A lot of very frustrated people around us when the Phoenix didn't shoot when they were about 30m-40m from goal. 

When we get a decent stretch of weather it may be a better indicator at how many fans are fair weather fans. 
If we had Brisbane Roar's record from the past two seasons and their style of play, how many fans do you think would turn up to watch us?
