Man, I'd set up an account 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Wouldn't happen and Wouldn't work, for many reasons.

But if you mean HYPOTHETICALLY (yes, I know big words.) then yes from the Auckland one.

Nice idea. Not sure how many up there would support it but I think the fans up there deserve something. Perhps if Champs or Ryos had a branch up there selling the gear, it would help. I cant see the Official store doing it other than by e-mail/online shopping. Lonegunmen2007-11-20 20:17:55

As you both said, it wouldn't work but it's a nice idea. Bit like Partick Thistle in the Champions league is a nice idea. Hopefully we can get the online thing going from the shop. Have to say that Champs and RYOS have both been great when I've ordered things from them. Auckland Jag2007-11-20 20:23:01

Maybe selling stuff through a major chain would be better, like linking up with Rebel Sport or something.

I'd buy stuff if there was a store in Christchurch.

i think rebel sport is a good idea,they sell a league merch. in aussie so i guess they could here as well,i would buy from them in wanganui.when i come down for games the shops are closed and usually arrive close to kickoff so do not buy at stadium

In our business we are thinking of trying to expand the phoenix gear, and its popularity to NZ. Mainly Auckland, we want to know if you would buy itBloc5_not2007-11-21 09:54:29

Interesting one. From my point of view, living in Pukekohe, it would probably just as convenient to order online from Wellington than have to travel into Auckland to buy directly from a shop. be good to have the option thoigh.
I'm not sure how big the market would be up here, to be honest.

What about gettinng Farmers as a sub sponsor, they could sell the gear at any farmers store in NZ, then people like me could max out our farmers card! oh/ It already is??
