I think there must be a game in Christchurch next season, and perhaps against Adelaide again, to get something going.

Would be kinda cool to have an annual Welly v Adelaide thing down in Chch - kind of like how they do with the Warriors v Bulldogs every now and then in Wellington.

IIRC the Bulldogs signed a contract to take their home game against the Warriors to Wellington. The Roosters did it this year in a sodden Christchurch.

Don't think teams will give up home advantage (given our road futility this season)...so the onus will be on us to take a game elsewhere.

2 games Chch 1 game Auckland

Of course they will, it goes without saying. I'd be surprised if there isn't another away home game somewhere else in the country too. It spreads the supporter base, increases gate takings and increases media interest. I know Wellingtonians will hate it - but an Auckland game has to happen next season too - as long as security receive the memo about standing!

Two wins in two games, and biggest crowds NZ has seen for a round robin fixture? I'm pretty sure they will be back next year.

YUSSSSS Unbeaten Nix attendance record intact despite going behind early.

AMI 2011?

P.S. Crowd outside of YF was atrocious in terms of volume. Well behaved but way too quiet. I don't think they even got into a basic Phoenix chant until well into 2nd half. But didn't take away from a superb Siggy match!!!

Christchurch has shown us loyalty and I feel we should show the same in return. I strongly feel Hamilton deserves a go, and if we only take one game away I feel it should be played there, but I wouldn't be opposed to one in each.

Oh, and no matches in Auckland, unless it's pre-season. They need to prove themselves first, as both Christchurch and Hamilton have done.

Memberships will just cost a tad less. Considering attendances at RoF this season another couple of away home games makes sense if the team wants to be financially viable. Doesn't Terry need a 10k average for the team to make money? The average this season is no where near that. A couple of 15-20k games in Chch and Auckland would help. Wellingtonians should prefer two or three less games than no games at all.

It will be 1 game away from the RoF max, and it will most likely go to ChCh considering the attendance of the past two games.

Not sure where you get the idea no games at all.Terry has made it very clear he is in it to stay,he has also stated that he expects to be making a loss so not sure why games have to be taken away.

Selfish you bloody bet and i make no apologies for it.Last time i looked it said Wellington Phoenix.Maybe if Terry said he needed to take them away okay but at NO stage has he said that.

I agree with what you're saying. Are you fine with one game being taken away?

Out of interest.. what crowd number does Terry need to break even @ a game?

I knew this thread would go down this alley, and to be honest I don't blame your sentiment. However if Nix games continue to only pull around 6,000 fans to a game the viability of the team surely does come into question. I'm well aware Terry says he is in for the long haul, but how much money can he be expected to lose? And if that loss can be minimalised, and therefore the future of the team be more certain, by playing a few away home games, then it makes sense to. Playing in other centres increases revenue through gate takings, boosts the fan base, means more merch sales (for the Nix and YF) and increases the team's profile. The two Chch games have proven to be overwhelming successes, while unfortunately RoF attendances have been poor. I'm not saying the club will die without these games, but getting double the takings for a couple of games per season certainly helps keep it going.

Pretty hard to not make a ChCh game an annual event now.

Big crowds, team wins there, lots of support.

Now we just have to get them off their feet and chanting.

Last year there were heaps of "n00bs" at the sold out semi but they got well into it and at least tried to follow along instead of stare at people trying to start up chants. Not looking at anyone in particular.

Make hay while the sun shines, now is the time to push nz football not just wellington football.

Play 3 home games away next season, one each to chch, auck, ham or dun(new stad). But the last 2 games would be wed night games (not such a big loss to wellington as they only get 4k). Especially considering the financial position atm.

Getting a gold coast game must also be an option they got 1.6k tonight vs mel heart. Auck or Ham should approach them.

Now thats a thought! (sorry, off topic briefly)
Nix should approach GCU to stage one of their home games v the Nix in Auckland. GCU could make more money there in one match potentially than all the rest of the season, the way attendances are now,and the Nix might have an opportunity to broaden our Auckland fanbase.
For good reasons unlikely, but who knows?
Thumbs up for ChCh though, another top effort, another great result.

Fantastic result tonight doesn't change the fact that I still think the idea of playing home games 600km away from your home ground is a bit sh*t. Mr_Incredible2010-12-06 02:14:17

After the result today I definitely think more games should be taken on the road. It's good financially for Terry and that is ultimately good for everyone. I think at least three home games played around the country, possibly even more with Christchurch being able to host more than one potentially.

As JAFA-scum by adoption (Wellingtonian by birth) I would love to see a pre-season game at NHS or similar, but I think part of the magic of this team is that it is the Wellington Phoenix, and I'd be averse to too much of a "travelling roadshow" thing. I endorse the sentiments of the guy who said that Crimechurch can put in their bit for more games once they're packing out Canterbury United fixtures.

Yes, but several thousand less showed up than last season. So following the trend, Christchurch should get a crowd of under 10K next season.

one game a season - you have the novelty factor which almost guarantees a bigger crowd. Weatherwise had the game been played here where it should have been it would have been in sun.

I live in Wgtn and should be against this, but in all honesty you're absolutely right. At the end of the day this is good for the club: the players love playing in front of a decent crowd and 14K means more money for the club. So why not.

Of course it's easier to get a larger crowd when you only host 1 game per year, but why not if it's working?

I'd even suggest giving ChCh two games next year to give my fellow wellingtonians a kick in the butt to turn up to the RoF en mass.

Well done ChCh!

Wouldn't be necessary at all if Wellington could get decent crowds so if people are worried about losing more than one game then hopefully it'll encourage them to bring more and more people along.

My opinion, for what it's worth, is one game away in Christchurch per season is fine but I'm not sure about more than that.

And can it not be Adelaide next season?

Would love to see a game in Auckland. Have travelled down to Wellys once a season in the past but with funds and time tight this season have not been able to make one so far and may not do so at all. Would be there with bells on (plus non-footy mates in tow to boost numbers) if they had a game in Auks.

Last All Whites game at NHS proved I think that there is enough interest and support up here at the moment to warrant a game.

If you're going to get crowds double the usual and also get consistent wins (so far) then that's a pretty good reason for a couple of games in other cities per season. It's not an 'away' game because the crowd will still be barracking for the Nix in a big way.

Like the idea of attracting another teams home game also, can;t really see it happening to be fair but would be great if it did.

I'm completely against home A-League matches being played away from home, but if it has to happen, spread it round and go somewhere else. I think Dunedin, Hamilton, Napier and Auckland all should get Phoenix games before Christchurch gets another.
