haha niceeeee, i dno if ill go, i live in chch and im only 15 =/
parents will be like naaaaaaaaaaa
im keen to go to some ay. Would be flying from Aucks, need to make
it a group thing and get it all properly organised!
I reckon it depends on how organised the fan groups get.
I live in Queensland..I will go to Suncorp when the Phoenix come or
Ballymore.( God I hope they don't play in ballymore.) And maybe
even a roadtrip down to Sydney when they play there.
I live in Melbs' and ill come and stand in the supporters' bay with
you guys. So you better come, i dont want to be the only WP
fan there!
Hope to manage 2/3 away games with any luck.
GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
currently living in london on OE however will be back to gold coast
later this year! I'll go to as many games in aussie as possible!
Will be there for the Roar match for sure! Guess i'll make more
away matches than home
None for me but for a semi or final I wiull be there.
Just turned down a trip to Athens 8K, so I'll spend some of that
triping across to Oz.
It will be quicker to get to Sydney than it was driving
to Auckland previously.

If only it was cheaper...
A Wellington game is an away game for me!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
I guess it will be hard to travel away. I guess fans on the
Warriors and the Breakers probably experience that same
problems. Travelling to Australia is not a cheap
operations.
May be we could charter an aircraft!!!!!! LOL

I would love to travel, but unfortunatlly dont think the Uni funds
want to cover the costs. Im happy with the 10 home games.
I'll go to the one in Melbourne :p and hopefully I can get back for
a home game in Welly.
a.haak
Maybe we can target one or two away games that we could get a good
deal from a travel agent for.
You guys have got to come to Melbourne! The Telstra Dome is pretty sweet, it's easy to get to and is right in the city.
We are gonna sort out something for those (like me) who want to go
to the likes of Syd, QL, Melb

Serpisos Air ?
I'm moving to Europe the day after the season's first game. But If
I have any trips back home will probably throw in a weekend in Aus,
so if an away game is on i'll be there.
2 weeks into the season, and most people will not bother travelling to the Cake Tin to watch WP games
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
It's that positive, kiwi, 'can do' attitude that made the Knights
such a success Frankie. Well done.

Is it my fault? Do you think it will only happen because
I bought it up?

It's classic 'have a bet each way' whinging; if it's a flop
you can feel justified and if it's a success you can feel safe in
the knowledge that no one will remember your input. It's passive
aggressive bullsh*t, mate, get over yourself.

thank you doctor Crane.
Can't we just keep a sense of perspective about this?
Everyone is talking about massive crowds at the cake tin, and now
large groups flying to Australia every 2nd week to watch the
team. Basic facts are that (aside from a number of people on
here) attendance to games will depend on how well the team is
doing, and realistically in the first season, it will do alright,
at best. That means that we can expect "alright"
attendance. If the Wellington Hurricanes get 20,000 people
when they are doing "alright" (not sure what the attendance was vs
the Warratahs when they are in mid-table, and boosted by Tana's
farewell, but imagine it was around that) then an "alright"
attendance for the WP (in my humble opinion) will be around
5,000.

5k frankie!!! i dunno thats horendous. Surley we can rake in more
than that, im aiming for 5-8k mark if were doing sh*t and a 10+ if
were average.

Think you under estimate the level of support for the Phoenix.I have not had much to do with local football for many years,but I and I think more than a few like me are bloody determined to follow this team whatever.A chance to not only shove it up the Aussies but show the Auks that we can do.
The blood runs yellow and black in this house.

if they do well, and sign juninho then the crowds will come in, but as u heard riki say
Meanwhile, Herbert yesterday laughed off speculation from
across the ditch that the Phoenix are chasing former star Brazil
midfielder Juninho.
"Next thing you know we'll be signing Zico."]
"Next thing you know we'll be signing Zico."]
wow i didnt know riki was interested in past it players
LOL
I think the Phoenix has a good chance of getting 10k+ average
crowds. Most people in Welly are aware of them now (Mexted even
mentioned it when the canes were playing once)
a.haak
Yeah, 10k+ is a good estimae for the average...For the first game I reckon there be around 20k people there.

Sorry if I missed your 'perspective' in your statement that
within 2 weeks no one would go to the ground!
