Okay, now that the Phoenix are playing attacking football again, I expect to see 15k at the RoF this weekend.

wont happen, half of the city will be taking thier chirstmas holidays, thanks FFA for giving us two home games when Wellington is empty!


We have four games over the holiday period between December 22 and January 5. Would you rather 4 in a row away?

no, I like having home games but I'm realistic enough to realise that the population of Wellington drops by 50% over christmas as all the government employees go on holiday - which means that there is less of a chance for the casual fan to come watch the game. We'd be better to have these four home games played over late jan/feb - the FFa realise this I'm sure and schedule the games here to make life difficult. If I'm preoved wrong and the welnix crowd have asked for these games then I'm happy to say they are daft too


That is not a problem unique to Wellington. Many cities have people clear out over the  holiday period . Would also suggest your 50% is rather high, also many people will come to Welly to visit family etc
