Will the attendance figures at the Phoenix games include the
sheep who turn up? 
Merry Easter everybody.
No - but if you're a sheep man I suggest you'd like the South
Island.
I hope your team can get good croud figures and continue to grow
throughout the season.
Will the attendance figures at the Phoenix games include the

do the attendance figures at Aussie
Stadium include the convicts who turn up?
Get with the times otter, the last convicts sent to Australia died out years ago. And no, we aren't playing at Telstra Stadium which is basically next to Silverwater Jail, so until West Sydney gets a team I'm afraid your comment merely shows your ignorance.
(just in case anybody is offended, the initial comment is just
a joke.)
On the subject of ignorance... Australia has more sheep than New
Zealand and your national song is about dancing with sheep and
bizarre sexual practices like putting a bag over their heads...
Still, sheep jokes... always original and funny. Ha... and may I say... ha.

Geez you really are a bit slow aren't you? I said Aussie
Stadium and having lived in Sydney for 3 years I'm perfectly aware
of where Telstra Stadium is, having spent a memorable night there
watching the All Blacks in that infamous 2000 Bledisloe test.

Embrace your convict heritage.

GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
If I am not mistaken, you are the ones who sent ya sheep over to Egypt to get raped.
what sort of crowds do the local rugby teams average over there in wellington?
people keep saying that wellington is similar to melbourne, as
in more of a sporting city, but will it sustain football and rugby
teams. Melbourne holds, a rugby team, 9 afl teams, and the victory.
all getting good crowds, some getting great crowds.
so if most wellingtoners are passionate rugby supprters, will
there be enough people left over for the football, or is there
enough interest in wellington for some people to attend
both???
Jesus, sheep jokes. Who let the spazzers out?
"On the subject of ignorance... Australia has more sheep than New

Staying on the subject of ignorance, yes, we have more sheep,
but not per-capita.
And Waltzing Matilda is quite a ridiculous song which most
Australians don't actually like and is about a guy who steals
a sheep, gets caught and so kills himself. But even if "tucker bag"
has some strange sexual connotations in Kiwi slang, which
i doubt, it has no meaning like that in the
Australian language.
While your national dance is quite clearly miming bizarre
sexual acts with sheep, both with the hand and tongue gestures, and
the clearly sexual grunt sounds emitted while performing it.
"Embrace your convict heritage"
Still on the topic of ignorance, my mum's parents are from the
Netherlands, while my dad's are from the Ukraine. So they clearly
were not convivcts.
"Geez you really are a bit slow aren't you? I said
Aussie Stadium and having lived in Sydney for 3 years I'm perfectly
aware of where Telstra Stadium is"
My point was merely that not even escaped prisoners let alone
convicts could possibly attend our matches. I am well aware that
you said Aussie Stadium, which I am glad you realise is not near
any prisons.
"Jesus"
"Geez"
What is it with you Kiwis and blasphemy. What ever our
heritage, your language is more convict-like than most Australian
"convicts" I've met.
"Still, sheep jokes... always original and funny. Ha...
and may I say... ha."
Why thankyou, it is always nice to know that you are
appreciated. I'm glad I brought a sunbeam of joy into your
otherwise cloudy and miserable New Zealand day.
I don't see the humour in sheep jokes.( I am Australian)
But anyway, I hope that Wellington good attendence figures, by
the sounds of things Wellington has a better support of Football
then Auckland had.
^^ Sydeny FC? - Might want to fix that up mate before someone from Melbourne eyes it.

and yet you sing it everytime the all blacks do the haka how inspiring oooooo goose bumps and i'm all aquiver
we'll be right for crowds i reckon because we aren't as spread out as auckland is and it's much easier to get to the games here than in auckland and judging by the amount of talk going on around the town most people will be keen as mustard to get along and suppport the phoenix even after the first round
as for convicts how's david hicks doing these days??
i'm just stiring you ba$t@rds up a bit thats all you seem to be able to take a joke plus our pavalova recipe, phar lap oh and that band evermore
Finally! A Kiwi with a sense of humor!!! You're a champion

ME? How dare you insinuate that I'm a Thugby supporter!?! I'd
never sing that drivel which is why I'm glad they don't usually do
it a footaball matches.
"as for convicts how's david hicks doing these

Quite well actually! "One of the worlds most dangerous
terrorists" according to some US officials will probably be let out
of an Adelaide jail in about 9 months as long as he agrees not
to keep quiet about the Americans. What a fitting
punishment. The US are pretty much admitting they abused him.
What the f**k are you doing on here tintin?
All you seem to come across as is some arsehole Aussie prick who gets his jollys from pissing off people on a football teams forum, even though they have no f**king idea in hell as to who they're talking to.

Three for me, and two for them.
--BACK TO TOPIC--
I predict 16000 people for the season opener, as the wellingtonians will want to beat Auckland and show that they can keep an A-League team. Then the average will drop to 10000.
I'd be very happy if both of these predictions came true. Your thoughts?I think they may be able to sneak a few more for opener if get marketing spot on and if draw suits them, and then 10k would be excellent average (but i think maybe 8-9k more likely). 33k for grand final of course.

I'd be very happy if both of these predictions came true. Your thoughts?We will get 10,000 for the season opener, and then attendance
will drop to around 5,000 which will look stupid in a stadium with
30,000 empty, bright yellow seats.
Games should be at the Basin where it will be sold out every
game, with fights and effigy burnings (Nana Miskouri, John Howard,
Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee, etc) on the bank at every game.
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

You really haven't read many of my posts have you.
Most of them are actually about football (unlike quite a
number of yours).
In the ones which are slightly off topic, the Kiwis are giving
as many insults as they're getting, they're fair arguments.
You don't know who you're talking to now but that doesn't seem
to stop you pissing me off does it now. Hypocrite.

Now back to topic.
"predict 16000 people for the season opener, as the

16000 would be great, but I'd say more likely 14 or
15000.
But for the average, it really just depends on how well you
do. If you are stuck to the bottom of the table with barely a point
or a goal I wouldn't be suprised if you only got about 6000 or less
average (remember, even Newcastle got a crowd of 4000 last season
when they were struggling.) But if you did well, 10000 is certainly
possible.
My prediction, around what the Mariners got last year. (almost
10000)
As long as the sheep pay for their tickets I'm sure it will be perfectly okay for them to attend. It will keep the Australians amused apparently.

What happens if there are night games? they cant be held at the basin without lights, and u have better transport access at westpac with the trains etc
what was the average in auckland outta interest?
It's on Wikipedia, look under A-League. Both years are made
to look better by the openers of just under 10k and just over 7k,
and the last by the 5k for the win over Glory.

cant handle the sheep jokesI don't get why you Aussie are amused by sheep jokes - I
haven't seen any sheep in a long time and as been pointed out, you
have more sheep than us.
"Some arsehole Aussie prick" - you're being way too
kind.

It's not funny. Just bogans who think it is, and unfortunately there's a lot of them in Australia.

"It's not funny. Just bogans who think it is, and

Look, it is not really meant to be a funny, ha ha ha joke. Nor
is it meant to be an insult. More a "I fully realise that this is
just the stereotype" good natured jibe- much as you might pay out
Australians for eating our national emblem the kangaroo, when in
reality the majority of Australians probably haven't even tasted
it, or residents of Sydney might pay out the Central Coast as being
a slum off the freeway inhabited by a bunch of bogans and pregnant
teenagers.
However, unfortunately a bunch of you Kiwis are too uptight to
realise this, with no sense of when a comment means
offense and when it is not serious.
My comments were obviously not meant to be offensive.
