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.
My apologies to you SiNZ and other readers, I'm fairly
inexperienced in forum etiquette, but will try harder in
future.
I
hope to do some real shouting on Saturday

16,500 so many 1st 15 guys wanna go from my school u definatly
didnt get that with the knights

11500 turned out when the forcast was for a strong southerly. So
with the win in Oz should give this a at least a 50%
increase. Hundreds of people turned around from the
first game due to the ticket lines these people should be lining up
again with more insentive to buy early. I say 20000 should
be the target.

20,000 im hoping at the game but how many at the backbencher
before hand dropping some quality larger!!!!!that place is going to
erupt mid arfo sat!!!!!brilliant!

I'd say 20,000 is a bit optimistic but i think anywhere between
13k-16k weather dependant.

Realistically I think 13-15k weather dependent.
Unfortunately I will not be in attendance.

From the A-League website...
With another large crowd expected for Wellington's third home
match of the season, the aggregate home crowd for the Phoenix
should already surpass the aggregate crowd that watched all of the
New Zealand Knights' 11 home matches of the Hyundai A-League
2006/07 season (34,016), and perhaps even top the Knights'
aggregate crowd recorded in 2005/06 (39,086). A total of 25,291
people watched Wellington's first two home matches this season,
meaning that an attendance of 8,096 against Adelaide would see the
Phoenix bypass the Knights' 2006/07 season tally, while a 13,166
attendance would beat the Knights' 2005/06 total season
aggregate.

And on a related matter, Wellington Lions attracted 8,931 to their
match tonight - after a report in the DomPost that 19,000 tickets
had been sold by yesterday.
Interesting. A bit of talking up the attendance me
thinks. I wonder why?
I know, I know, its serious!

I think ~ 13000 - 15000. 12000 if it rains. I can't make both this
one and the next one, so I'm going to the next game and bringing
the tadpoles and mrs bullfrog.
Hopefully we can build the awareness of how good the squad are by having another belter of a win and bringing in the 20K figures next week.
Rise the Phoenix!

A tip for those attending the Backbencher- Bring cash - the cues
for eftpos get quite bad during a full house- expect the place to
be packed by 5pm

As mentioned in other threads. I'm picking 15,000. The
Dominion had a great sport section this morning, heaps of
Phoenix stuff. They are certainly doing there to spread the
word. Always keeping people interested.

Will they have extra staff on serving also as each time I have
been there most of the staff seem to be away from the bar cleraring
tables and serving food.
Saw many people wait then walk out due to the time waiting for
a beer

Well another problem we have had is people staying at the bar
to drink- Basically means there is only one channel in & out of
the bar. Maybe we need a couple of sheep dogs to keeps the herd in
line

Press Release: Toll New Zealand
Wellington's Phoenix FC has scored a significant sponsorship
goal with today's announcement that the club has entered a
three-year sponsorship with Interislander.
Interislander's group general manager, Seamus O'Sullivan, said
the organisation was proud to be associated with the Phoenix.
"We have plenty in common. We both have a national reputation
from a strong Wellington base, families are an important market for
both of us, and we share a strong interest in Australia.
"Australian visitors are a big part of our customer base and
Wellington Phoenix FC is a New Zealand club competing in
Australia's premier football league, the Hyundai A-League.
"This is a win-win sponsorship, benefiting Interislander,
Wellington's newest and most exciting professional sporting
franchise and the people of our home base - the citizens of our
capital city," Mr O'Sullivan says.
Wellington Phoenix head coach, Ricki Herbert, echoed Mr
O'Sullivan's sentiments.
"Interislander is a New Zealand icon. It's well known, well
loved and well supported throughout the land. It's a great example
for us at the Phoenix as we build a club that is important to
Wellington and New Zealand," he said.
so now we'll get the Float Up crowd too ..

Confirm that. Tried to get a friend along to Aisle 30 but
everything sold out in the whole area. Looks like it might be
another record crowd.

That is brilliant!! Almost makes me want to leave London and move
back to Nz and live in Wellington, so I don't have to miss all
this.
And I am an Aucklander originally .
.Come on Wellington!
Whats the capacity at Westpac Stadium?
I guarantee you guys will sell it out for the LA Galaxy game.
That will be one of the greatest days in recent times for football
in NZ. The biggest home football crowd ever in NZ!
If we build it, they will come...

I think the official capacity is 34,500, but I could be wrong. It would be brilliant if we sell out for the Galaxy game, since sell-outs pretty much happen only for the AB tests and the sevens...
