nix vs canterbury chinese?

heard somewhere that there was a game in a few weeks against a canterbury chinese team (???) in wellington. wanted to know if this is going to happen, be great to get along and support the boys

Has been discussed elsewhere but is apparently this coming Saturday at Newtown 2.

Do we have any idea of a time? My games is at 1 so im hoping after 3

swinging back toward Sunday now

Chocnut - Nick Carle at his finest. Nice.

It'd be nice to have a bit more info on this - if people on this site are still unsure about the plans what hope does the general public have? hmmm. Hopefully it all goes ahead OK.

Apparently its a fundraiser for the Chinese earthquake, as the tour of China was cancelled due to the earthquake.

Sauce

Herald doesn't actually mention Newtown 2, however I can confirm it is Newtown 1 at 2pm on Sunday, people can come along from 1 pm onwards. There will be more publicity about the whole thing during the week.

get down there and donate

The Red Mist XI ?

Indeed. There was a wager in the stands that you would see red...we saw it coming.

If you're lucky, you may see some of YF's finest on display...

Varsity!? Red card!? But...why?? *shock*

Can't wait to see Tony Pignata pulling on the boots!

Should be entertaining.

Any possibility of Ricki bobsleding terry again?

Does the celebrity involvement have a coloured theme......?

Yellow Fever represented by Greene and Brown....

Coat.....me.....get.....gone!

Pity we females won't get to watch the Phoenix...we'll be playing our own game. BNUgrrl2008-05-30 16:58:59

Will probably head down Tomorrow, althoguh it doesn't seem like many are keen :S maybe the forecast rain...

Does anyone have any idea which Phoenix players will play? I kinda want to see what the new players are like(obviously Gao will be on the pitch, you'd think). I suppose not...

Tony P was on radio sport, he's getting a run along with 6 Phoenix players. Dan from Radio soport is playing? and id say Gao would def play.

A good laugh this afternoon.....our mighty Feverish scored two and ripped his shirt off in celebration to reveal his Retro Ricki and got a yellow card for it.....classic

Tony P got on the scoresheet too (kept his shirt on!), as did Leilei Gao for the Chinese (he played a half for each) and Mickey Ferrante.  Daniel was using his complete bag of tricks to bamboozle the Chinese selection and set up several of the goals.  Not sure on the other scorers as was watching through very blurry eyes and dark shades......BigDunc....you're bad bad man!!!

Very good crowd too, stand was full and plenty standing around pitchside.  Good to catch up with a few of the Fever and can see everyones buzzing about the new season.

Highlight was Smithy ringing Ricki in the dugout during the 2nd half and asking him to swap Greenie to play on the left so he was closer to us and so Smithy could get better photos (and so Greenie could hear our abuse) and Ricki duly obliged.....

Outstanding.....

Agree, a good kick around, a few laughs and a bit of dosh raised for a good cause.
Lets hope we will now get a few more Phoenix supporters. I'm sure quite a few of the Chinese in the crowd may never have been to a football game before.

i thought it was a really good event. everyone got in the spirit of it and had some fun. how good was the guy with microphone? he was a laugh

Bloody hell coxey i thought we had agreed that we couldnt identify one of the scorers.

Chairman Wow scores two, one a stunner with ehad- set up by Daniel ' Personality of the year" cortes- greenie got two, the two press guys were just a tad useless- Chinese team had plenty of chances but squandered them all. Salmon072008-06-01 17:16:52

Yep, top entertainment.
I thought Fred Woodcock looked pretty handy ...

Now, we have to learn that Chinese chant for "c'mon" to encourage Leilei.
I can't remember, was it something like "Tan-yow"?

That's probably wrong though ...

Great bit of fun that match was, daniel consoloing the ball boy who was taken out by the chinese united guy was lovely, Daniel and leilei ripped up the opposition, (the nix defence couldn't handle gao in the second half) and Tony P, you were outstanding!!!! (in a way...)

Chinese team were average- probably not gunna win any fans for stating the obvious Salmon072008-06-01 17:27:40

Mind you their 2nd half super sub was pretty handy- Nix should look at signing him!

nah they should sign Cnut and Feverish. smarah2008-06-01 17:41:47

Yeah I felt bad for the Chinese keeper, poor guy.

Good day out which I enjoyed, and good to see some of the new nix guys on the pitch, although I made it to the ground just after kick off so had a bit of trouble identifying some of the players. Good to be watching some football in person again too.

Great fun, really enjoyed it. I think we've solved our striking problem, Tony P should just sign himself. Stunning header for the first goal I thought...

Also, I had a couple sitting next to me who weren't too sure as to who was who on the pitch (they thought that Plodder was Lia of all things...) and among other things, thought that the Illustrious Leader was one of the new Phoenix signings and said something along the lines "that looks like money well-spent"...until I explained the situation. Hope this doesn't go to Greenie's head...

just saw me stitch a goal on TV3 News.

Saw the TV3 clip...great publicity for the club.....well done the Phoenix PR people. I was just about to ask who the oldish guy was scoring that ripper goal...sign him Tony P
