Nix vs Perth Feb 2nd 5:00pm - The Fox pre and post game

 I don't have tickets to the Fever Zone, as My mother works for Hyundai and got free tickets. Will it be okay to still stand in there or are people going to be anal about there seats

 I don't think the place will be packed so you should be all right.

At least one of the girls on my Gaelic football team is going, and was surprised to hear I was playing for Auckland Fever in goal.

Someone buying tickets in the Fever Zone today was told that the Zone was almost sold out, so I'm not sure how successful you will be NHpeter, worth a shot at getting in though.

Doloras, I'm looking forward to putting a hattrick of goals past you ;)

Not sure if it's been posted here yet, but the GrabOne deal is happening again, until midnight tonight. $15 for a Silver Zone ticket. http://www.grabone.co.nz/auckland/wellington-phoenix-1 

I'm thinking it'll happen again personally. Way easier for security just to tell people to sit, than the other way round. 

If it gets to bad we can do what happened in Chch pre-season and move to an empty section and make our own Fever Zone (with blackjack and hookers).

Buggering off to the casino to watch it on tv then?

People should be smart enough to have seen it on TV that its standing only pretty much

Should be. But surely one of the first things you learn in life is that people are not smart. 

 And don't forget to book in the game on sky so we can help make the ratings count

Egan, Tom is flying out ( from Perth) tonight and will try to catch up with you on Friday night.

He did try ringing you.

I did ask him why he would fly so far too see his team lose ?

His comment was because the kiwi's are good to drink with.

I almost ended up in a scrap in the FZ last Eden Park game, trying to defend my right to stand up!

Cheers, not sure how he didn't get through though...tell him to text me on that number. 

I suspect I would react the same way. 

 Yup nearly got into a fight with about 10 or so guys at the game at North Harbor

If all else fails, a rousing rendition of 'Stand up if you love your cat' is sure to get them onto their feet.

He can't as he keeps getting some young lady answering saying wrong number son.

Grab one deal still going

It'd be nice to have that extra 1000 people through grab one at a wellington game sometime. 

bothers me that this auckland game seems to be receiving more advertising than the rest of the welly games combined.

first time nix twitter has been so informative and cheap tickets and load of information for fans about the team

yeah the nix twitter has been going off heaps lately - which is a great thing!

except we get such rubbish generally - biggest example is when nix players were at new world and we get an "oh yeah the guys are here " tweet once they are already there - whereas all the auckland appearances are well documented this week along with heaps of pics and tweets.

This begs the question, if they can promote the Auckland game like this, why don't they do it in Wellington?

Just saw the game being advertised in the Warehouse in Manukau. Nice.

Surely putting nearly all of your marketing and effort into a game outside of Wellington is a short term benefit. Wouldn't it be better in the long term to put resources and effort into getting people along in Wellington. As the fever we do fever Friday, what do the club do? 

for some reason the marketing of games each week seems to have fallen off the radar. Besides the YF noise in Wellington the Nix have never really been marketed that well, there's the odd radio add, but ntohing truely remarkable. Even Gloria Jeans is more visible than the nix.

The apartment building on lower Taranaki street still has the poster for the match against Brisbane Roar advertised.

Advertising in Wellington is very poor.

How on earth is that a burn?
