Football United - July 2014 West Ham and Newcastle visit
I'm feeling a little 11 o'clockish already
So this is the 11 'o clock announcement tomorrow? was hoping for some signing goodness
The ODT has broken this story ahead of this morning's official announcement:
http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/300509/premier-league-side-stadium
The Football United Tour had been organised by the Wellington Phoenix club, which would play another premier league team, West Ham, in Auckland on July 23, followed by Newcastle in Wellington on July 26.
West Ham would also play Sydney in Wellington earlier on July 23, to round off the tournament with a double-header.
Full details are expected to be unveiled in Wellington this morning, but Mr Davies has confirmed Dunedin's part in the tournament after being approached by the Otago Daily Times.
Schedule of fixtures according to ODT:
Tuesday 22 July: Newcastle vs Sydney (ForBar/Dunedin)
Wednesday 23 July: West Ham vs Phoenix (Eden Park)
Saturday 26 July: West Ham vs Sydney AND Newcastle vs Phoenix double header (Westpac)
Edit: these dates are outside the July school holidays, which end on Sunday 20 July.
Howay the Nix!
Toon! Toon! Yellow Army!
Toon! Toon! Yellow Army!
Err... How do you think the double header will do for crowds?
West Ham vs Sydney not really a draw card is it?

I will watch both games I reckon. 2 games (maybe) for the price of one is not a bad deal and has lifted my enthusiasm above the levels of just one game.
''Newcastle are a sexy club. They've got a great following, a great supporter base, and they're a very passionate group.''
Wonder what happens Pardew and Allardyce get sacked before then though?
they have sucked everyone in and it's probably a new player signing
I spent a good half dozen text messages yesterday trying to twist Domey's arm to tell me what was what so we could pre-record it into the podcast.
He wouldn't.
So I bet he is bubbling with grumpy today that the Forsyth Barr folks have leaked it to ODT.

Probably outside the control of the Phoenix.
double header would be a good one . sold on me

Bit different to these touted earlier in the thread.
Nix vs West Ham - Aucks 23/7
Nix vs Newcastle - Wellies 26/7
West Ham vs Sydney - Dunedin 27/7 (could've been 28/7)
I wonder how long the wait will be in between games for the double header?
Be a great day of football though!

Long enough for a couple of turbo shandies.
I hear that ticket prices are going to be CHEAP and Foundation Members are getting a free ticket to the double header. Good shit.
Will the game in Dunedin be while the students are there (ie not on holidays), that's a key point for potential sales there...

Stoked about the Eden Park game! Not really that interested in the other games but the double header would be a pretty awesome day out (IN THE OFF SEASON!!!)

Sounds good. Put your balls on it?
Ballane will be pleased.
I'm pleased.
Steve-O is pleased.
Well done Nix.
Winston turning up?
Double header prices for members starting at $35 for adults, $16 for kids.
Tickets from $35 for adults. That is a f*ckin steal. Outstanding work Domey.
A very good price indeed. Will go for the Wellington games but need a date to book the annual leave.
Well I was wrong about NUFC. bloody stoked though! Already had a few people say "get me tickets"
Ooh I see the $35 tickets are for members. $59 for general public. Still very impressed and hopefully that'll get a few fence sitters across the line.
Tickets in the WestHam end for the first game of the double header, then to the Zone for the second leg?
- Adult ticket prices start from $35 for Phoenix members, $59 for general public with child tickets from $16 for members, $20 for general public.
Looks like Early birds are only if you renew your season pass for next season.
"Renewals open at midday today and you can add your Football United tickets on"
