Just cos people left early does not mean they don't support NZ. Could mean the Nix were crap?
 
Think they were looking for a quality game, certainly didn't get that as others have pointed out on here. Which would be one reason why I would be surprised to see that many next time around.

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

Football snobbery is alive and kicking.
 
To true. Almost everyone posting on here is a great supporter of the 'Nix and football in general, but there will be some that went last night looking to bag the game. Unfortunately I know both of them

Spot on HN, wasn't the best game but the atmosphere more than made up for that. Despite my 5 complaints, I rate this as a good day out and well worth the effort. It wasn't like the players were not trying, it just wasn't happening for them last night. Nice goal though!! Who was that guy up near the fever that kept yelling out to our players to shoot when we had the ball in our own half??.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

What did you guys think of the pitch? I though the surface started off great but cut up pretty easy. Not sure if it will last too many Super 14 games.
 
A lot of PM boxes are full guys so I when I tried to  answer those requests, I couldn't. Just waiting for a Gallery Area to open and will put fan pics up in there. Sorry that the shirts off one appears blurry. had a couple that I did that too damn it!

Hey, just got home not long ago.

Want to say thanks to Chch for a great weekend. Wandering round town during the day yesterday it seemed like there were Nix and YF shirts everywhere. Awesome crowd, not the best display of football but sometimes you have to win ugly and the important thing is the outcome, not how it was achieved. Thanks to the Brewbar for the cheap beer and free food, well done guys. Found a great band playing in Sol Square later on, the place was going off.

If you were walking round town in a YF shirt after the game you must have felt like a bit of a celeb. Could barely walk 50 metres without someone coming up to me saying "Go Nix" or asking if we'd won. It was still happening at 3am (although those people were considerably drunker than those right after the game - including the very drunk guy who told me at great length how boring rugby games were and loved the atmosphere last night - at least that's what I think he was saying).

Got home in time to see myself on the TV3 news - how cool. Tip for getting on TV: stand in front of the guy wearing the yellow knitted beard and mustache.

PS. Love the new Avatar News!

Apologies, I yelled that twice.  I found it hilarious as it was Lochhead who had the ball one time and Muscat another time and the thought of them scoring is humorous (even though I know Lochy has one).  When those chaps score I'll eat my sunday hat!

Promise I won't do it again.

Yup a big thanks from me too. I had a great weekend, even tho' we weren't with a whole load of yellow fever guys and the chants just aren't the same when there's only 3 of you chanting ..... and I got hit by a flying beer bottle. The atmosphere in town and at the airport was fantastic, so many people starting up conversations about the nix. And at this point in the season I would rather the nix played badly and won than had their best performance ever and lost. And yeah, I know I'm no expert when it comes to the game but you have to admit that its great to see where those 3 points have got us.

That was Judd and I being "interviewed" for the radio station.  He did indeed bring up dead prostitutes (I think he had the chant stuck in his head)  She asked me a question too but I can't for life of me remember what it was......

What she wanted was someone to start a chant after she'd had a bit of a chat live on the radio and we seemed likely contenders.  She was thinking of RH Yellow Army but we thought Wellington should be mentioned hence the Oh Wellington in the middle of half time.  Well done everyone kicking in though - good job! :)

Im not a complete idiot, some parts are missing!

Great night though!
