My comment was aimed more at targetting an audience of fans/potential fans holidaying in Taupo, Nelson and elsewhere, based on Dome's quote about when they could schedule the game's outside of Wellington, which was stated in this or another forum.
The gist of his quote stated that if they have an early season game away from Wellington they get stick from their home supporters and they can't have January fixtures in Auckland/Chbristchurch because everyone was on holiday     
Of course, any quote from DD, the 'Disaster' Dome, exposes his fundamental lack of knowledge of/empathy for promoting the Phoenix to supporters, whether they be diehards, regulars or potential fans. 
Last years flak was a result of the huge gap between home games, not that one game was taken away from Wellington 
My experience of attending games in the post-Christmas/New Year period in Wellington is the crowd will be 3-4k

on second reading, I think that is pretty fudgeing disrespectiful. 



My experience of DD is based on emailing him several times, especially around the Bon Jovi concert and the re-arranging of that fixture. 
When I dared to express some dis-satisfacion about how the re-scheduling had been handled/presented to season ticket holders, his response was based on an argument of "it's not my fault, what should I do and you've just got to accept it" .That may of been true, but there was no acknowledgement that I was a season ticket holder and events had occured beyond the club's control of Phoenix games at the stadium. If he'd stated that, I would have understood, but I was accused of being unreasonable..

After that response I realised that, in his position of that time, that there was no point in attempting further discussion.
I have had some fruitful and very responsive discussions with the Phoenix Marketing since his change of position
Whatever you may think of DD, in my opinion, he is not a marketing person, as his recent statements about future Auckland fixtures have demonstrated
His ability to maintain his current position reflect the same talents of survival demonstrated by the current 'good' manager of NUFC, based on my life-long support of the Toon and the 'Nix, since foundation.

How fudgeing respectful has the Disaster Dome been to Phoenix fans?
