Initially my thoughts were positive to 'spread' the message to other FOOTBALL lovers throughout the country, however after very little thought, that said it would be absolute madness to even consider for at least FIVE years, any more of these ridiculous suggestions of playing 'home' games away from the true lovers of FOOTBALL, and genuine supporters of the Phoenix. As someone has already said, imagine Liverpool playing its home game at Arsenal, or even worse Stamford Bridge! - the Harlem Globe Trotters took years to establish before they went on their sojurns around the country, and eventually the World [Get Real]
Given what Wellingtonians have achieved last season, and might I add at cost to each and every one of us, the very least that the NZFA can do is to stick their hands up, and support the true and loyal supporters of the Phoenix i.e. Yellow Fever.
I believe that Graham Seatter owes us big time, given that we have saved his and every elected hanger's on bacon at the NZFA - no wonder they are $845,000 in the red. One way or another whether it is the Ozzies or NZFA, profits will 'find' their way to the JAFA's, unless we control our own destiny here in Wellington.
To put things into perspective it has taken all season to get the NZ media to finally call the beautiful and ONLY ball sport to speak of i.e. FOOTBALL, instead of that uncultured americanism, soccer.
Walk before you can run springs to mind [yet again!]
