Hang on.  We're above 08-09 averages and last year includes the last 3 or 4 games.
Hardly the end of the world for us.

Looking at the fixture list to try and work out required crowd sizes for myself I realized that the last home game of the season is played one week before I move up to Wellington next year.

Shocking, shocking timing.  Playoffs start a week later, don't they?  Or is there a weekend off before them?

Good to see our current tally for this season is almost on par with 09/08 season. I reckon we'll crack 100k by the end.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Hey Phoenix marketing department, we're doing your job for you. Take notes.


I was the first to suggest that nix players get into women's mags and daytime TV, (anyone remember Daniel cooking on TV1?) and I've never seen a penny...

Phoenix Recognise Half A Million Supporters
Tuesday, 1 February 2011

One lucky fan with a ticket for the Wellington Phoenix�s final home game of the season, against North Queensland Fury on February 13, will enjoy the match in comfort and go home with a fabulous prize pack.

All Phoenix members, along with supporters buying a ticket to the game against Fury, will go in a draw to celebrate more than 500,000 fans having watched Phoenix home games over the past four seasons.

The prize pack will include: a season 2011-12 season membership; one night for two people in Wellington�s Century City Hotel on game night; an invitation to the after-match function; a ticket upgrade for two people to the Chairman�s Lounge at Westpac Stadium; two pairs of Sony headphones and a signed match ball.

Phoenix chief executive Nathan Greenham said the club recognizes how important its supporters have been over the past four seasons and the prize draw was a way of acknowledging them.

�The fans have become a major part of �the Phoenix experience� and we wanted to say thank you,� Greenham said.

�To have had over 500,000 people at our games is special and one lucky fan will be the recipient of what is a fantastic prize pack.�

The draw will be made on Wednesday February 9 at 5pm.

Perhaps they don't use the sophisticated attendance tracking system in place for Team Wellington games.
