So we're less than a week out from the first game of the season, have just signed someone through our academy system, reduced ticket prices for first game of the season - plenty of chances for some good press right?
Zero Nix in the DP today, Zero coverage on Stuff (last Nix article was last week and football page filled with EPL), Zero coverage on Herald (last Nix article was Sept 14 and football page filled with EPL).
What's going on? I understand there is a RWC going on, but surely we should be able to get something going to get a little bit of interest building for the weekend?
Ha Ha
Hundreds of miles away in Christchurch the Nix and the A-League get a full page in Saturday's Press with a Siggie interview by Tony Smith accompanied by a large colour action shot of Siggie taking up the top half of the page, and the bottom half comprising profiles and predictions for all ten A-League sides with nice colour graphics and photos. Even has full squad lists for each team.
On the back page of the separate sports section too, not buried inside where no one would see it.
Unprecedented coverage!
