What? Just because wellington fans want their wellington team to play in wellington? I dont get why you're saying such things as "I give up on this forum/team" or "Im not planning on coming up for a game anymore" when its perfectly reasonable for us to want our home games to be played at home. Its nothing against chch or the rest of the country.
 
You cant expect it as your right to get a game there every season just because you got 19k there this time. This was a one off game,there was no future games on the line if you reached a certain crowd figure. So i dont understand where this expectation that you should get another game is coming from at all.
 
So seriously,quit whinging and support the team and post on these forums like you always have. Absolutely nothing has changed.

Too right I was gutted........only because I couldnt make it to CHCH for the game.
I was absolutely stoked that we won & that there was a good Phoenix contingent in the crowd,� I take my Yellow Fever bucket hat off to all of you. But I always celebrate a Phoenix away win!

If it was played in Wgtn I would have been there, using my season ticket, which I bought after it�

was advertised as 13 home games & saving 25%(?). Yes, I knew that there were going to be games played in Palmy & CHCH which I intended to go to, as mentioned above I couldnt make it to CHCH but enjoyed the outing to the Ring of Sh1t.

The lack of loyalty to the season ticket holders is astounding, we are the ones who pay the money upfront before the season starts, this obviously helps the cash flow & budgeting for the year, but when tickets for our�"home" games, played away are cheaper than the price for home game tickets to the RoF, it's a bit of a slap in the face. Not to mention the amount of shagging around some people experienced from sh*titek.

Tony P has got to show some loyalty(rather than talk about it)�to the season ticket holders & the regular buyers of tickets.

I am more than happy for 1 game a season to be played in CHCH, as long as it is a pre season game or in the first 5 rounds. If the CHCH�fans are so passionate about the phoenix they will then have the rest of the season to travel up to Wellington to see the WELLINGTON PHOENIX playing in WELLINGTON. Surely this will end up bringing more money into the club we all love, we get to take the pi55 out of the one eyed cantabs face to face, & Terry S can give up his part time job! It's a win win situation all round

why on earth would i want to travel to wellington to watch a game with all of you? $400 to sit through 90min of bad jokes about where i live and being told that im not a true fan of the team as i dont live in wellie. I was planning on making it up for�a game or 2, these days not so much.


Did anyone ever say you're not a true fan? I'd say if you're coming up from Christchurch then you're a bloody dedicated true fan.

Don't get it wrong when people say they don't want lots of games away from Wellington, that doesn't mean we don't want fans from out of Welly.
And I really doubt anyone has made a call about CHCH to your face a nix game, plus most if not everyone on here is taking the piss.

This is great (this and the ChCh team name thread).  We just need a ChCh version of Terry to step in now and we'd have the makings of a great derby.

As i said in the other thread. Dont take it personally when people say they want home games to be played at home (even out of towners have said this). It has nothing to do with you on a personal level at all. I dont understand why you're taking such offence at everything.

Actually having read the other thread now BBS, grow some. If you can't take a few comments thrown your way then choose another website pal. It's all in good nature but you obviously can't see that.

If people from Christchurch are going to let this put them off then how can they claim to be 'true fans'? I'm gonna fly up for every home game I possibly can next year, and personally I don't mind the odd jab in the ribs, just give it back. Toughen up.

The other thread was clearly just a joke and a bit of fun. Like most things on here. Its all fine when everyones doing it to everyone else (i swear ive even seen him join in) but as soon as there is one about where he is from,then he goes and rages and "gives up on the forum and flying up to support the team".
 
Get a grip mate.

I used to fly from Christchurch to Wellington for matches and there were very few comments, those that were made were generally positive or quite obviously in jest...

Two of these threads on this forum are dangerously close to becoming quite nasty. I'm stepping out for a bit. I suggest some others do too.

Christ,learn to take a joke. Yes Mr_incredible was overboard,he got flamed for that something hard. This forum has always had a lighter side to it,and the Chch name thread is part of that (as HN said...same with the palmy thread,the jabs at other A league cities e.g melbourne stabbies etc).

I really dont want you to stop coming on here BBS,just maybe learn to take things in the proper humour as intended. And dont get peoples not wanting home games to be taken away mixed up with the more light hearted Chch name thread.

In fact,looking at the Chch name thread,there are also other cities (including ones within wellington) that get made fun of. So really have no idea why your taking it so hard and personally mate. Tegal2010-02-04 20:40:51

Pretty sure Mr Incredible moved up there from Chch this summer, so if anything, blame the Christchurch people.

Did the mountain of sh*t Palmy got when the game went there bother you or are you just taking it personally when its about your city?aitkenmike2010-02-04 22:40:06
