Imagine being a NZ Warriors fan as well, you don't get a month off.
It's just hit home how poorly we're doing this season. The title of this thread, "R15...", geez, I can only recall a handful of wins.

When the two seasons cross over its a tough time of the year.
I think I gave up on the warriors for that very reason! Looking at their talent compared to the Nix's though, and they are underachieving more.

I cant give up on the Warriors like I cant give up on the Nix. They are my times, through the pain and the pain.
Just imagine how the Souths and sharkies fans thought ont heir recent historic wins. We will feel that way in 30 years when the Nix and Warriors bring home their championships.
Heard an ad for the Hatrick matches coming up. If you are one of the first 50 at the gate at 6:30pm you get a free ticket.
No mention of the Wee Nix Tee Dubs match either.
The Nix had sent a tweet about this, but it got deleted a short while later. And now an article has come out.

Or Sydney Swans fans who stuck with their club for something like 71 years between championships. That's the big difference between NZ and Australian and EPL sport culture - we're a nation of glory hunters.
Adelaide with a big win over City makes tomorrow's game even more of a must-win. That result only puts both United and CCM 2 points behind us, we don't want to be in a race to avoid the wooden spoon this season. If we can start to find some winning form, this could also narrow the gap between us and Top 4. I'm down from Auckland for both the CCM and Victory games. 2-1 for the Nix in front of a drunken but small crowd tomorrow is my prediction.

You are right but I wonder if this is not simply due to a small population size and football not being a main spectator team sport.
HAL has large audiences in Australia even if football is not the main spectator sport either because of the sheer size of their cities with at most two HAL clubs per large population centre.
Maybe we are not more fickle, but our core audience is simply smaller here, and looks lonely in a stadium of 40K capacity.

Ok so why does Perth Glory get close to 10k on the same day & time and in the same City while BBL and Tennis is on?.

I agree, but the argument against it is that the HAL in particular isn't of the same standard to the EPL which even if your side is in a relegation battle each year at least it's at a high standard. As for the warriors, no such excuses, but the failure to appoint a decent coach has always annoyed me. I suppose given the last decent one was ex warriors maybe Kearney is at least worthy of being given a go.

Gosford has a population of about 170000 certainly not 380 thousand.
Any news on how we are lining up?

The central coast has a population of about 330 thousand. Its like wellington region (400k) vs wellington city. (200k).

Wellington city has a population of 204,000 - the Wellington region is about 500k but that includes the Wairapa so that 500k is in an area of 8,000 sqkm. Gosford has a population of 180k but the central coast region has a population of 325k in an area of 566sqm.
The Central Coast and Wellington urban area are pretty equivalent in population and size: Wellington, Lower Hutt, and Porirua combine to about 360k.

This argument is is going nowhere.
One could say the Brisbane population is 1.5 million but the surrounding areas make it 4 million.
In 2011/12 we beat Sydney three times, not sure why i remember that.
Edit: Apparently we beat them 4 times, the fourth in a final.
I feel like we've beaten the Jets all three times in a season, but can't remember when.
Any news on how we are lining up?
Only Roy is unavailable. Everyone else is fit and should be fighting for the starting lineup.

If you want to compare like for like then Gosford population 180k, Wellington population 204k, Newcastle 288k.
Can't wait for this. We only managed to get to 2 games in the first half of the season, so looking forward to these next 3 to get some use out of the memberships! Made it to the first 2 home games, then had to miss the next one with something else on that night, and couldn't justify the expense of the Hamilton and Auckland trips having already been to Auckland for Coldplay the weekend before and then going away over the Xmas time. Then missed the last home game as we were still away. So feels like a long time since we last went!
having attended every wellington-based game since day 1, I must admit to be thinking that if they don't put on a decent show and beat CCM then its throw-the-towel-in-day. Will probably keep on going but recent games have left me feeling seriously underwhelmed with the whole thing
Too right. Fan for life.
I'll be there

Fire the f uck up We need to drill these mothers good and hard

I've got my ticket. :D
righto just 608 minutes to kick off
COYN
When you look at the times and days and when other events are also on, our crowds reflect it. Eg: Bathurst at 7pm on a Sunday night. Bathurst would have cost us some fans, 7pm on Sunday night would definitely cost us a lot of fans with school the next morning etc.
In 2011/12 we beat Sydney three times, not sure why i remember that.
Edit: Apparently we beat them 4 times, the fourth in a final.
@FFA metrics
Two of our season members group away and two keen replacements to come on their tickets.
Two future fans loosing their 'Nix level virginity!

Same, well I don't live in NZ but 'with nowhere else to go' I'll be listening to the game. I've always been keen on the Phoenix but this season that's picking up a gear, again.
The last time I was in this gear was a few years ago. We were in the play-offs, Ifill was brilliant, my local NSW pub was watching with interest, we won 3-1, with an import sealing the win, and another week in the finals.
Everyone would miss those days, ay?
Mike Puru said on lastnights newshub weather forecast to hold onto your scarf if you're going to the Phoenix game. Nice to get a little plug.
I hope we can win and win well. Smeltzy to score the opening goal.
