Have noticed there has been some really good coverage of the Phoenix in the Dompost lately.
Well done to all concerned.
Pity we didn't have that sort of coveage in Jaffaville when the Kingz/Knights were in town.
And that spread on the All Whites after their Wales match was top stuff too.
Good on you Mr Woodcock.

I think having made such a positive contribution to getting the team here the dompost is backing it all the way.  Good to see TV 3 also covering the training last night.
 
It's good to see football in the headlines for some positive things as well.  Let's hope we don't give them any excuses to slip back into doom and gloom mode.

I wrote a letter to the DomPost editor (editor  at dompost dot co dot nz) thankign them for their increased coverage of football recently. I think it's good to give the media who are doing the right thing good feedback, beacsue that will only encourage them to write more. Fred's doing a pretty good job over there at the moment, and his writing is getting better all the time. I think the sports editor is starting to give fred more space and freedomm, which is a good thing.

There are two problems with both TVNZ and Granny coverage, and it is their sports editors. Mirams at TVNZ hates football, while the Granny just doesn't give a sh*t. Just look at the hacks working there, I have to read their half-hearted, lazy copy every day. With the internet you can read good sports reporting anywhere, and when you see the quality of the reporting on the Aussie, Brit and US sites, it just makes me mad.

No wonder Jaffas don't get excited about their sport when they are dished up the sporting equivalent of cold sick-flavoured porridge everymorning.

WHAT??
 
TV1 is utterly appalling. TV3 is hardly the BBC when it comes to football coverage, but it is all over TV1! I now boycott all of TV1 news in protest.
 
The theory re Mirams being a thugbyhead seems pretty compelling.

I actually reckon the Herald has pretty good coverage.  I'm sure it's a battle for Terry Maddaford to get so much in to the Granny, but i reckon he does a great job in covering what he does.
 
Fred is just flying down here i must say. 
 
It's a real buzz seeing our sport getting so much good coverage compared to 5 years ago.  However, we've still got more work to do and that's the aim of this site and this supporters club - to get the good word out.
