Hard News2007-04-23 20:00:43great work hard news!
good to see 4 out of the first 6 games at home
also good to see that the words 'basin' and 'reserve' do not
appear on the draw...
Looking forward to Phoenix being 0-1 after 1 round. 
Can wait for the ENERGY to run through the Westpac Stadium after we
score our first goal at home against the Victory.
I though our first match would be a hard one, but by the look
of it, we got it.
no lunchtime kick-offs must've learnt from last season
can't wait victory up first couldn't ask for a better acid test than that

5:00 is a poor kick off time the stadium has disgusting food.
good effort hard news any news on squad announcements yet, heard
its gonna be within this next week and i deffinately interested in
season ticket there any info on that subject yet.
Papers had some vague details on season tickets but nothing
concrete. Aus sources are calling a player announcement on
Thursday, may well see ticket prices at the same time.
The strip is around as well (see a thread below) but that hasn't been released either.
Suspect we'll either have one big kick-off or one thing a week for the next few weeks to keep the profile high.

I know its a bit early but is there any interest from anyone coming up round 4 in Sydney.
We had such fun last year with the barmy Army.
cheers mate been keepin an eye on the dom post as well as a few web
pages, seen the strip, mildly disapointed its not yellowbut its all
good and still think yellow fever is a good name for fans after all
it is wellington based. Since when av the names block 5 or even
barmy army given any indication where the team from that
all comes from reputation as supporters i think!!!
Well spoken NE. The spirit of the Phoenix and the Fever will always
be yellow.
A variety of match times - not too bad though.
thanx for posting that - something to look forward to towards the
end of the NZ winter ...
I think we can see the pattern though. Mostly Sundays early
while the Air New Zealand Cup is on, so we get the pitch at an
approporiate grass length for football if Rugby is on it earlier in
the weekend.
Then once the Rugby season finishes we have a lash at the long summer evenings to get lubricated before and after....

Yeah but one game is during our Saturday winter footy season -
will be straight out of the shower and down the ground.

Ho Ho. Why not eat before the match? Or after? Why not take a packed lunch? FFS!
Prawn sandwiches???
Three for me, and two for them.

Gee thanks Kiwill - maybe a picnic hamper and a bottle of
er lemonade . .
Bugger a home game on my Wedding Anniversary. Better start earning
some brownie points
Overall the draw as a whole seems pretty good. They've varied the
rounds a bit, no-one has any really long road trips, and games
which have previously got good crowds have been kept at around the
same time, eg, Central Coast vs Melbourne on New Years Eve at
Bluetongue.
The only thing I'm a little bit annoyed with is the Melbourne
only has one home game against Adelaide and Sydney. The massive
crowds would have boosted the A-League's crowd average, but oh
well.
great work hard news!
good to see 4 out of the first 6 games at home
also good to see that the words 'basin' and 'reserve' do not
appear on the draw...
.... but I think I read somewhere there's a couple of
pre-season warm up matches being held at the Basin Reserve?

Checked the rugby draw - has the following games for the
Lions:
25 Aug - v Tasman at 5pm (day before Phoenix -
Melbourne)
8 Sept - v North Harbour at 7.35 (night before Phoenix -
Newcastle)*
20 Sept - v Taranaki at 7.05 (two days before Phoenix -
Adelaide)
No clashes in playoffs as Phoenix away those weeks - unless
Wellington get to host final in which case it'll be the night
before Phoenix host the Mariners.
*Given I'm an ex-Harbour boy I might as well sleep at the
ground that weekend

Appartnly Pheonix going over the ditch to play Central Coast
Mariners at Bluetongue Stadium Gosford on Saturday 14 July 2007.
Yeah, the 'home' games against the Clogs (Roar) and Bling (Sydney)
in the pre-season cup. Rumour says both may be at the Basin.
we'll my friends i like the draw at the end 3 home games in a row
all friday 7pm and all during the start of summer, if were winning
those 3 games will be pumping.
Would have preffered more Saturday games, or even Friday evenings
than Sundays, but at least they are at the cake tin. The corn dogs
are disgusting but the pies are OK and hot enough to cause serious
injury!

We ara peeple!!!
