Crowds - they will be crucial

Crowds - they will be crucial

<!-- bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img");//--> The success of the phoenix is going to be largely decided by the crowds, because if hoards of people turn up then it will justify media coverage and so on...even if they're having an up and down season.

I think we'll get 5000 for the preseason game at the Basin.

a) 5 - 8 K

I think weather is a good point especially at the basin, it gets fuc$ing cold there when the wind comes in down adelaide rd!!!! But i would like to think that we could fill it up, being a pre-season game maybe the price will be minimal to raise awareness.

Go the Fenix

Hey BP, can you translate your signature, and give us tips for pronounciation, I think we can probably turn the lyrics into a song. It'd be nice to have a song with Portugese lyrics for the Brazilian player(s)!

O fenix vai bombar means the phoenix is going to go off!!! aw pheenix vy bom bar.

    A good one when the team is one down or something would be Esse jogo vai virar Eu quero ser o vencedor
Which is this game is gonna turn round I want to be the victor!!

ehhsee jo go vy veerah eooo kerooo se ooo venseedoor

ok i hope that helps, just ask me and i can find some more cool ones and we can pick a couple to scream for daniel and co

O Fenix renasceu das cinzas
Para conquistar o mundo
O Fenix vai bombar
O fenix do caralho

This is cool, i just made it up but i think we could teach the boys this one

Translation

The phoenix ressurected from the ashes
To conquer the world
The phoenix is gonna go off!!
The phoenix is the fuc$ing best hahaha

Its ok to swear in portuguese at a game ay

I agree with Phil I think about 5K at the Basin.  For the first game at the stadium maybe 12k.

I guess that there will be around the 5 thousand mark for the pre season game , but for the first game at the stadium it will be humming with over 20 thousand , I have freinds who have never been to a live game and thay will be there too.

what about the chch game,

I know Da Selekta is going down. PM him and sort out a plan of attack

i think we can get 5k at both pre season games...

i'll be at QE2

I've suggested a trip to ChCh to Mrs. News and she didn't smack me for suggesting it so I'll keep campaigning on it.

ChCh will be 8 - 10K. Gauranteed .

Surley we can get a big number for the first game at the Stadium, im looking at a 20k mark.

i seriously doubt that well get over 7k for both games remember where we are folks, especially if the tickets are more than 10-15 bucks. Ill got to both and know people keen but we are in NZ and the games will be on TV, i think alot of on the fence-ers will just watch with a better view on their TVs

i hope im wrong

Staying at home doesnt put money into the nix pockets WPFC_OR_DEATH .

Pre-season games wont attract too many, but with some smart marketing and ticket pricing, we should get somewhere near 20k for the debut against Melbourne.

Are the ticket prices $10 Adults and kids under 16 free? Thought I saw this somewhere else on this forum.

Rugby League tri-nations international didn't come close to that so it is hard to see a club football match getting close to 20000. However, I really hope it does!!

ok i saw some of the rugby game tonight in welly and those yellow seats stick out even when theres 35000 odd we should paint them black its seariously going to make us look bad unless we use smart camera angles and restrict seating to one part of the stadium.

we'll see man ill be stunned if we pull 13000+ we are on the back foot from the start,
a) we are a not a footy city/nation
b) we are a NZ team in a Ausy league - look at the sh*t the warriors get every week (and they have been in the NRL for around 10 years)
c)its televised
d) ticket prices will be crucial i dont think it should cost more than a movie C. $15 (14 is fair as its double the team welly games)

i dont mean to be overly negative but some ppl saying 20k to me thats unrealistic, we must take these into account

say we did get 13k would we keep those fans at the stadium for the whole season??????WPFC_OR_DEATH2007-06-10 02:06:29

When are the Basin games, and where are can I buy tickets?

Tickets to pre-season cup games are $10 for adults and free for whippers under 16.  I think the Basin game is July 22nd - news on ticket sales to be out in next fortnight.

20-$25 is not unfortunate it is is great news for the families with soccer kids.

It will be a mistake to make general admission $30. $20 or more likely $25 should be the price.

If theyre smart theyll make it 20, if theyre greedy theyll make it 30, if theyre smartlly greedy itll be 25.

I reckon they'll get around 15k for the first game, which will drop back to somewhere between 8-12k depending on how the season goes...

The empty seats, are just the early days marketing ploy set up by Yellow fever, you just can,t see the crowd because they all wear yellow!

It's all looking good for game one against the Victory,
15,000 + is a realistic target.
170 large is the cost for us coming down from Auckland, so if my thought process is common then the 26th of August will be 'the' bumper crowd for out of towners.
We just need the secret ingredient to get the average bloke and his dog down the game, especially if he's a wellingtonian...

Sounds good. Coming up on the 22nd? September for the first night game. Looking forward to it. Bringing the wife & kids.

well some one should inform terry of where YF are and tell him to put the shots of the crowd where we YF are... thats what i would do if i was incharge. at least that way we would have the illusion of a huge pumping crowd. is there going to be any signature piece of clothing for YF like a scarf, t-shirt, or beenie????? or is it too early for that

He is sorting out the seating for us. Dont think he will be working the cameras though.

How many seats is terry exactly researving and how do we know if we have a seat?

Knights games were $25 per adult.

Cant Wait till the season kicks off!!! i Live in CHrsitchurch But i will try to get to as many home games as possible!!! Exsepcially the First at the Basin REserve againsnt the Mariners!!!!!!

so we'll need a season ticket to be in the area,
f**k that im sitting where i want to with/without a season ticket
