Phoenix: the vibe

What's the vibe on the Phoenix in Welly? Is it being discussed in the pubs, cafes, bus stops or supermarkets? Is there an air of excitement? Or pessimism?
 
Does the average bloke/chick in the street give a sh*t? Or have a clue?
 
 
 
Also- who does the beer at the ground? Is it full strength?

It's encouraging the number of people in Wellie who say they like it a lot, and will be going to games. Many of them haven't had much to do with footy before

I have even people who have never been to a live football game who are wanting to see the phoenix ,also having ardent rugby freinds talking about going too!

Let us all hope that the support wil be there for the WHOLE season

I think the city is embracing their new identity, it will only add to the culture and history wellington already has. People know and cant wait for kickoff to begin.

Yes it should be good - Rugby followers who do not take season passes for Hurricanes games- going to by season passes to Nix's games. I am continully asked by work mates when passes are coming, we need the info now before the market losses the spirit.
 
I think if Courteny Place embraces the match and aftermatch it will become huge.

It'll be great weekend visit to Welli when your team comes to town.......plenty to do and a geat atmosphere here.  There is a general buzz starting to gather momentum and it'll be huge by the time the pre-season cup and then the Victory come to town.......

Off to WINZ on Monday to arrange supplementary benefit to pay for season pass and airfares for my family & me to come to every home game from ChCh. Should qualify under emergency rules eh! if not can always sell my neighbours Falcon. Hope the players appreciate the lengths us fans go to.

What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?

I'm living down in Christchurch, but definitely intending to make the trip to the Windy city.  Hopefully a few times!  Go the Nix!
