A'right lads,well done on the win against
sydney,cracking result!
I'm
a victory fan in melbourne but got some good kiwi mates and would
love to see you do well. Was wondering how big of a crowd you think
you'll get for the adelaide game and how the teams being received
in NZ? Are you getting decent media coverage,folk watching the
games in pubs etc? Think you'll top the 15'000 you had for the
victory game?

haha it is when you are a student living on $30 a week and the
bus down and a ticket costs $40. But screw it!!! well worth
it to get down and see the Nix play! Just extend the bank overdraft
to cater for my love of football haha.

Hi Meka21,
I'm in Otaki and am going to the game, I
usually drive to Paraparaumu Train station then by train to the
Caketin, and reverse for the way home, what route does the bus
take? If you email me at zedned01@xtra.co.nz we could
discuss options,for future games.

Do you get a full busload, what route do you
take? Glad to hear supporters are getting organised.

I'm backing a beautiful Wellington night with 16,000 to
18,000.....the Fever is growing and results like Fri night will
keep em coming!!! Imagine once we've beaten Adelaide on Sat
night and Perth the following Sunday - both at home - and we head
to Australia for our roadtrip in 2nd or 3rd place.......The Ring of
Fire will become a feared ground for the Ozzie teams to come
to.
I reckon at the rate its going as long as the boys get some results and continue to play the attractive and attacking football we'll get close to 25,000 once those summer nights kick in!!!!
BRING IIIIIIT ONNNNNNN!!!! Til I die....!!!!

There's really only one main road between Palmy and Wellington. btw, I'm hoping for a 15,000+ crowd, but I think we'll get 12-13,000.

You can go through Shannon or through Sanson though...

great to hear of fans travelling from all around to see the Mighty
Phoenix
my guess is that you'll be buzzed out by the ring of fire
atmosphere and the quality of football from the lads

I think 15,000-16,000. I have managed to get a few people for
work to come alongfor the first time this weekend. I'm
positive that they will have a great time.

Hopefully 15,000+ after last weeks game crowds should be flooding in

13000

Coxey, your attitude is magnificent
I am not quite as bullish as usual myself. bc the sydney game
was away I'm not sure there is as much awareness as their could
be.
We also will not get the kids on Saturday night at 7pm.
If we get a result against Adelaide, I will go 16-18 for the
perth game - but can't quite see it on Saturday. Shame on me I
know

Weather dependent - less than 10,000 if lousy. 15,000 if still and
calm.
But Saturday night is the big question - That could make a huge difference

I know they are slightly smaller fry, but Team Wellington have
tried all three alternatives (Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday
arvo) - anecdotally I think Sunday afternoons brought in the
biggest crowds.
Be great to see what Saturday night at the Ring of Fire off
the back of a win brings though.

Well I've told everyone I know, wore my Phoenix shirt out all day Saturday and 4 strangers started random conversation with me - they all knew the result. Wore my Yellow Fever Bencher 20 pint shirt on Sunday and talked football and Nix every chance I got....
And at work today....was singing every chant I know.....and even started to get others joining in. Have 11 first time visitors to the Ring of Fire coming with on Sat night......
I think I might have a problem....well another one anyway!!!!

IT'S JUST GREAT TO SEE THE ENTHUSIASM, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO ANY
OF THE GAMES YET THE CROWD WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF. I'M SHOUTING
MY SON AND DAUGHTER IN LAW TICKETS (I'M SOFT IN THE HEAD I
KNOW), SO THAT'S 2 NEWBIES FOR STARTERS. i WONDER IF THE PHOENIX
COULD RUN A RAFFLE FOR THE OFFICIAL CROWD SIZE, MAYBE IF YOU BOUGHT
A PROGRAM THAT WOULD QUALIFY YOU FOR A 'FREE' ENTRY,COULD INCREASE
THE REVENUE FROM PROGRAM SALES. I'M PICKING 16,000 MIN.

Woah, Zedned Caps Lock broken? Or you just like shouting?
I agree with Liverpoolfan1 - I think TW crowds were better on
Sunday afternoons. I think it likely that the Saturday evening
kick-off will lose some of the families.
For me personally, it's better to have a Saturday kick-off -
the worst thing about the Sunday kick-offs is getting up for that
Monday morning flight either having packed whilst drunk the night
before or with the need to pack still outstanding.

yep and on a friday and saturday night you can spend the night
celebrating without the hangover on monday!

After our first win, I reckon 15k and that would be in 3 games more
than a certain other team scored in the whole season!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

I go to most TW games and the problem is getting out to Newtown on a Friday night when you come to work on a train. No such problem getting to the stadium so you can't compare.
Sunday work better for TW because you can drive there, Saturday doesn't work either because you have to drive out there which rules out drinking. Again - no issue with that at the stadium.
TW will struggle this year though. I know I won't get a season ticket this time round and will just pick my games.

we will get over 15,000.
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

I reckon 15,000 if the weather is good ,might be a more boozy
affair given the KO time !
The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Weather is looking great for Saturday ... so hope at
least 15,000 there! Can't wait!

after work yesterday I think I am going to revise my estimate 15-18 thousand. Everyone seems buzzing more so than after the melbourne game.
