Phoenix media Shunning.

the final is the 23rd of May and the NZ game is the 26th isn't it?  so he should be available for selection

ole

He could have rather a large hangover!

Old Willie Lose isn't too bad.  Sure, his footballing knowledge could probably be written on the back of the postage stamp - but he did seem genuinely happy that the Phoenix made made it over the line when everything was up-in-the-air.  As for 'Penis Head' Deaker: anyone who has a mental breakdown due to NZ losing the America's Cup back in 2003 says everything about his sporting knowledge and passion.  A rugbyhead delusional...does he still have Gordon Bray as his 'Aussie' correspondent, with the only Aussie sporting subject being of course that great Aussie pastime...you guessed it...egg chasing/rugby?!?  Stevo2007-05-09 13:40:33

ive said it once in another thread and i will say it again, Prime TV (esp The Crowd goes wild with Mulligan and Richardson) could and probably would be the best source of media support for us...they cover everything from coal shovelling in OZ to college basketball in the USA.

flick them an email and im sure they'll help


also, the fact that prime seems to be the new free to air sports channel means maybe we can count on them to be the home of the Phoenix

Mint good footage. Hahah thay shafted him the last shot tho.

I figured he was warming the keeper up, not actually trying to beat him - but yeah - shafted...ha!

Was good to see TV 1 do something on Costa the other night. Hopefully the media get in behind the Phoenix, some are doing a pretty good job already. The Dom Post has been excellent right through the whole thing.

i agree the Dominion Post has had a ton of updates on Wellington Phoenix. TV is gonna be a little harder to crack.

haha costa got shafted big time. The funny thing is, is that he scored all his previous shots in the warm up and they put that on? dnt see the point in that but ye. Maori Tv hahaha na Tangata Pacifika with Beatrice Famuina lol. Chur bro

I hope they continue to bring us footage of the signings. Good to see what makes up the Pheonix now and then. Looking foward to the Brazilians footage.

yeah i can't see them dedicating much more time to interviews with Phoenix signings though. i think costa was the exception because his signing was like some fairytale.

I understand the Phoenix have appointed their own media manager - John Mitchell. He worked at the DomPost and covered the initial signings.

im pretty sure that in australia foxtel doesnt really want or need the a league theyll just have it coz its there any tv station couldve gotten the rights but no station took it not even the so  called football channel sbs that really buggers me off

Jamie Douglas not John Mitchell

Would be the sh*t if we could get a little show of our own going, getting fans rigning up, voiceing their opinions and talking bout previous games and upcoming games..

Maybe a few of you guys and guyesses should approach Community Radio and see if you can get a timeslot - say before, after or around the Greek/Italian timeslot. I recall a few mates from Northern Spirit running their show in Sydney called "The Charlie Dempsey Experience" and I also recall doing a couple of guest appearances following some Kingz games that we attended in Sydney. If I recall they were on after the Greek Community people finished their scheduled timeslot on the radio. It cost them nothing apart from time and providing people to run the show and manning the phones during the show. The Spirit guys were quite funny and even interviewed a sheep when I was on one show.

3 articles on football in Today's Dompost (inclusive of the 2 in the sports liftout) + A big photo on the back page. Fed's going hard this week. Nice one mate!

Give Dan McHardy and Piney a go at commentating the games.
