Fever were excellent last night, loud throughout. However I watched the replay this morning, sounded very dull. The sound just doesn't carry through to the sound equipment at the stadium, which kind of sucks. Guess we can't really do much about that though.
Crowds - The thread of Australian whining
6,813 at what point does this become a concern..
Wgtn Anniv weekend with half the population away and still early enough in Jan that a number will still be on extended Xmas hols, students still not back. Not toooo bad.
Shame it is a while now between drinks at home, with the Auckland game.
Don't forget big day out as well, I know lots of people who couldn't turn up because they were still in Auckland.

Sky could put their sound mics in better positions to cattch the noise.

They could, but will probably then lose sound from the pitch. And I wouldn't be surprised if FFA had rules around placement.
There was quite a hot chick there in the fever zone last night, who took her shirt off in the last 10 minutes and displayed a lovely body. Perhaps Gareth should go to showgirls (or your equilievent,in Wellington) and hire half a dozen hot lasses to display their bodies. I am sure that any hot blooded male will be at the game next time.
In a black lacy bra? TV3 news showed loads of crowd shots with chicks in bra's during their match highlights in the sports news. Could be enough to get the odd male along to the next game.
The fever should pay a few calendar girls to strategically place themselves in the zone...
Edit. Wrong thread
Auckland Phoenix. Keeping football classy since today.

Trouble is, Wellington always seem to have an excuse. Poor weather (that's the normal one), Pre-Xmas, During Xmas, after Xmas, Anniversary weekend, Sat night, Sun night, Friday Night, clashes with rugby etc etc. Its seems the planets are never going to be aligned together, so the only factor that is going to make a significant difference is perception of the team and their results.

That would be her. I think she extended the coverage on the news by at least 15 seconds. Camera went back to her three times

FFA probably do. Like close to the crowd for wanderers games, and far away for every other game.

Hell, even watching ADL vs WSW it sounds like the only mic in the stadium has been placed in front of the RBB.

She is stunning.
Yeah, I have been lamenting that while there has been a lot of talk on here about the performance, the goals, etc, there has not been enough about exactly how lush this fine lady was. Do we not have the technology and desire to post photos off her for my benefit?
great zone last night. everyone was on form. big improvement from the week prior.

Grrrrrrrrrr
Jeez guys, settle down. If you actually want more women to come to games maybe not acting like a pack of horny schoolboys at the sight of a bra might help.
BTW. What happened to Ricki's Chickies?
I'm afraid that Nixie's Chickies don't really do it for me. #notjimmysaville
CT. I agree, but considering the alternative is this: NSFW
...I know what I'd prefer.

I'd like to think that I am acting like a horny old man

I have to say I agree. The performance of the team over the last half dozen games deserves more than 7,000. That you can't seem to move beyond that in attracting supporters should be a concern by now. I'm not having a dig at the Phoenix, because I think Merrick is doing a fine job. My dig is at Wellington's football supporters. Where are they? You should be getting 10,000+ to the ground because anything less looks bad on TV with all those empty seats.
The trouble is your next game in NZ is in Auckland and there will probably be a crowd in excess 15,000 which will not make the regular turnout at HOP look good. You really need to do something to boost Wellington's turnout. The players are doing it on the field.
I do wonder if the downloadable posters that were tried several seasons ago are worth reviving?
It certainly wouldn't hurt and would get more visibility around offices, workplaces etc.
Perhaps the reality is that we can only expect a 4-7k crowd for most games until we start doing a 2009/10 all over again (and back then our crowds only swelled at the end).

It's a wider sporting issue. Crowds are declining across all codes. Below is average crowds for regular season games each calender year.
Where's TW on your graph?
He...doesnt register...according to the ASBP site there was no one there on sunday ...
Crowds by percentage of season completed.

Take your trolling to your own shitty forums.
Data is too patchy to plot.

I also noticed this. I thought perhaps it was too embarrasing to mention.

Correction: they have a forum??
It is quite pathetic that you don't care about the nix, yet you still troll around reading Phoenix related threads just to find a post that you can have the same little dig with.
Get a life?
Translation: yawn.
Even Chris Rattue knows about the serious business. His contention that the whole Ricki era (i.e. the whole history of the club up until last year?) was a disaster is obvious nonsense, though.
And yeah, guys, the whole "horny boys who can't get enough of ladies with their tops off" stuff is kind of gross. I get my top off in the zone when everyone else does and no-one says anything to me. Although I should possibly wear a lacier bra.
Well this is awkward...

I asked a legitimate questions and got a legitimate answer but with a dumb trolling comment so just returning like for like.
Hmm , rethinking certain ' life options " ....of course once past puberty they may become a little calmer ...doesnt the interweb provide boys with all that's required these days ?
Or even real-life girlfriends? Although if "hot-blooded" men will come to a football match just in the hope of seeing a lady without a shirt, I don't know what would happen if they actually got to touch one. Fatal nosebleeds, perhaps.

I would love to see more attractive topless women at our games. The TAB promo girls are good too.
