would be interested to know amount of people from outside
wellington that would be keen to travel to phoenix games,if a train
was available would people from palmerston north support it and
also would people down the line also use it eg levin,otaki etc
STUFFED UP MY QUESTION ITS MEANT TO READ IF A TRAIN WAS
AVAILABLE FROM PALMERSTON NORTH TO THE RING OF FIRE HOW OFTEN WOULD
YOU USE IT?

How about an onboard Bar??
There's 4 fans (probably more of course) That travel from
Palmy? Top effort! Mind you, when they come from Tauranga &
Napier etc, it just shows the Phoenix are doing it right!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

not many from the palmerston area maybe a mini van will be better
than a train.in wanganui we are trying to gage interest in a bus
hopefully 2,probabbly not for this weeks game but the last 5 or 6
home games

Isn't there a train from Waikanae? Ride the 45 to Waikanae and
train from there. The train from Waikanae into Welly is only an
hour (mind you that was in 97 *hic*)

There's a train from Paraparaumu. Not sure about Waikanae.

yep, P'ram is the usual first point of departure for Wgn, altho
holeinone might be trying to get the Palmy weekday commuter train
to do a special phoenix run - and that train does have a bar on
board

I'm drivin down to my first Phoenix game on Sunday. from Matata,
near Whakatane, spose it'll take 7 hours. Don't think I'd confuse
myself trying to catch a train at PN. Looking forward to being
there. Bloc 5 were great, so hoping YF is at least that good.
Hope to meet at BB first, I'll be wearing my old Kingz shirt
since I don't have any Phoenix gear yet.
I'll be coming, I'll be coming down the road...
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

The parking in Wellington
is crap, I reckon your better driving to Paraparaumu
station,parking there and getting a return ticket to the
stadium. I have done this every game except one, and was sorry I
didn't do it for that one too. The train takes you right to the
Caketin door, $7 return, email me if you want more details
zedned01@xtra.co.nz
It's a lot less
hassle.Trains are every hour on the
hour at least, sometimes every half hour.There is ample parking at
Paraparaumu and it's free too. If this is your first game I'd
suggest you buy your tickets before arriving at the station, as
there have been huge queues for door sales, and it takes too much
time. If you haven't got your tickets already there is a
Ticketek office in Waikanae New World.
Cheers

check your map - there's a rat-run that avoids the Otaki roundabout queue; the queue is guaranteed to be there most late Sunday afternoons
