From Nelson or CHCH depending on the time of year. The Newcastle game will be my 4th this season as well as the All Whites game. I've spent $540 on flights in the last two weeks to get back up for the finals series. I've probably spent atleast $2500 on Phoenix travels/tickets/apparell.... oh and I'm a poor university student. Thank god for course related costs aye

Well, if you will stay out all night on the piss after games, getting drunk and verbally abusing innocent Scots.

Un-dedicated bandwagon jumper . First 'Nix game at RoF will be March 7th.

Been to the 'Nix here in CHCH, twice in pre-season and the once at Lancaster Park.

Went to one game last season (vs. Adelaide where Costa scored and it finished 1-1) and hoping to get down for the Jets game.

Oh and from Auckland.ScoobyD2010-02-23 11:59:04

4 games in Wellington plus the play-off vs Bahrain.  One A-League game in Christchurch, three pre-season friendlies here, and one match in Australia (pre-season cup) though didn't involve the Phoenix.

Am coming up for the Newcastle game.

From Christchurch.

Over the last three years we've had some very dedicated fans from aroiund the country making the effort. from Auckland i'd suggest the hard core that showed up to the Knights and the Kingz have made it. It's just a damn shame the others up there never support their teams as well as we are doing. an Auckland Team and an Wellington Team in the a League would have made it interesting. add to that a CHCH team so we had three teams and the A League might be very interesting and some derby games here.
 
One day i'd like to see enough teams in the A League whereby they abandon the three games against each team and revert to 2 games, 1 home, 1 away.
 
Anyway, thank you to all those fans that travel to the ROF, You all help build up a terrific atmosphere. Please keep on coming here as often as you can afford it. Perhaps us locals can billet you? I have a couch/bed available but Upper Hutt is not that close to the night clubs!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Moved from Wellington to Chch and now live in Dunedin.
All bar one home game in season one (I was getting married at the time... I still don't know this one slipped past me), four in season two, three in season 3 (including Sunday). Have also seen them in Chch and Queenstown (both pre-season) and Melbourne.

None. Jest will be my first.

I did attend the Bahrain game though.

Three for me, and two for them.

From Auckland. Went to about four each in the first two seasons (took until the 1-0 bus park over CCM in s2 to see us win), this season only the Perth game on Sunday. Looks like I'll be there next Sunday too...

Also saw them away v Sydney in November 08.

When I lived in Christchurch I think I traveled for 7 or 8 in Season 2.

Moved to Wellington just after the start of this season.

Three, 2-1 against Melbourne last season, and against Newcastle and Perth earlier this season.

I need three separate flights to get there from Kunming. Do I get bonus points?

+ Sydney away earlier this season, and the pre-season match v Tianjin TEDA.

Went to 6 in the first season, also the beckham game,  and the playoff against perth ... also went to about 15 minutes (allegedly) in the game against Brisbane at Suncorp in 2007, but got arrested and thrown out for being "drunk in a public place", would love to come to more, if only there was a train service from Napier!

Oh yea, I'm from Napier :)

I have been to two home games. And both were loses. lol
 
Infact, I'm pretty sure the last ROH I went to was the last lost we had before our unbeaten run. And the other was the loss at Auckland.
 
Maybe I should just stay  away.
 
But I have been to 5 away games. Syd, Jets, C-Coast, bris.
 
I live in brisbane.

I'm in the same camp as Buffon. I've never seen the 'Nix, Bahrain (still getting over the buzz) was my first game at the RoF.

It's not particularly easy to get up from Dunedin. Driving is not an option, and flights are friggin' expensive due to lack of competition. Aucklanders and Christchurchians can get much cheaper fares!

But like Buffon I couldn't just stand by and watch you guys having a jolly good time so I'm coming! And dragging 9 locals along with me!! Presuming I can get tickets...

P.S. I would have driving to AMI for the 'Nix but was overseas at the time. Apologies for not being committed enough to change my flights to be back in time for that game. Hope this trip makes up for it.
