Phoenix talkng about moving to Newtown or Petone. God I hope it's true. 


More for Petone, go the blues!

I don't. I wouldn't renew my season pass, and thousands of fans north of the city along SH1 would become alienated and not bother. Imagine taking public transport from Paraparaumu ... could take 2 hours to either location. 30mins on the train for me from Paremata could turn into 90mins. Sad because places like Tawa, northern Porirua and Kapiti are strong footballing communities. I just can't see all these people keen to travel for 3-4 hours.

Would be good for the Hutt though. I'm sure they would get a lot of season tickets outta the Hutt from it. They will be wrapped to have a professional sports team local. And it isn't that further for you a transfer to the Hutt line and a 5 minute walk from Alicetown station. Hopefully they would do free railway fares from Wellington to Petone for ticket holders. Like they did in Auckland last night. The positives from the atmosphere would be worth the extra 15 minute train ride.
