Good idea, but really this sort of promotion should be taken up by the Phoenix. Each home game they could invite two or three Wellington schools to have a free ticket per pupil as long as they brought an adult with them

Surly they give away enough tickets already.I know some people who only attend if they are given sponsors tickets and they lap up all the associated giveaways and ground access and meeting the players etc.Gets pretty grating at times to see some of the things they score especially when they havnt paid out of their pocket for anything.

Yep full aware there are perks for being a sponsor but these people only use the product they are not part of the sponsors staff.

As an aside do these freebies get counted in attendances or is it only tickets that have been paid for,



You're right. I just think if tickets are to be given away,the Phoenix should be doing it.  

Oh well. I am already wrong for going to the football to sing. 

Might as well be wrong for handing out tickets because I want to and not being the Phoenix. *shrug*


Hey Brandon I didn't say you were wrong, I actually said what you were doing was a good idea. 
Who said you were wrong to go to the football to sing? Your 'sing' is my 'chant', it's not a reason for disagreement.
I come in peace my friend :-) 
I am certain that no one questions your support for football and the Nix

Chants vs Songs. You go to a football game to chant, you go to the shower, karaoke, church to sing songs :-)

Despite the little smiley face, that seemed to me a pretty clear declaration that in your opinion there is a right way to go to football, and it involves chanting, NOT singing. 

And that people who sing should be getting in the shower, going to a karaoke bar, or going to church, but that they should not being going to the football. 

It absolutely did NOT read that my 'sing' is your 'chant'.

On the back of your vitriolic email about how a 'love song' like Riera The Only would be received at a football match in the North East of England (i.e. where people knew how to support a team 'properly') that made my blood boil. I found it bloody offensive. 

I read that and thought: "Okay, didn't realise that there was only one correct way of supporting a football team. Now I know. Must have been doing it wrong all this time. Good to get educated!" It really pissed me off.

You say you come in peace. Cool. Let there be peace then. Sorry if I have over-reacted.
