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?

Syndication means it is much easier for a lazy sports editor to reach for an EPL story in order to tick the checkbox "football done".

Same reason you can buy EPL (or NBL for that matter) shirts and similar merchandise in most cities in NZ but Nix shirts have to be ordered from Wellington as Frontrunner or Rebel sports do not carry them.

Rebel Sports in Palmy have Home shirts (short and long sleeve), Away shirts, training tops, polo's and the new hoodies.

Stuff has had regular articles, mostly positive, plus advertising in the paper for first home game of the season:  http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/a-league

Football Central have this season's strip available from Tory St, Wellington & online:
 http://footballcentral.co.nz/collections/phoenix

Rebel Sports have been advertising discounts, of at least 10%, on the new Phoenix strip every weekend, according to their usual 'sale ends on Sunday' policy:
