A full game between ACFC and the Phoenix on a weekend would attract a lot of attention. My guess is it would attract a big crowd, not least because the media would take an interest. Apparently ACFC have offered the challenge several times but Ricki has refused, probably because he has too much face to lose. Pity.
In that case ACFC should lobby for the Phoenix to be included in Oceania club champs rather than arguing against it. Then they would get to play.
Edit: Just to be clear, I would like to see them play. Little bit of a grudge match rivalry could develop if it was close. I think end of season would be better for a spectacle.
