R19 v Heart Sun 16th Feb 5pm #FlushItDownTheDunny

The Phoenix are on a roll, and if some recent spectacular performances aren’t reason enough to head to the stadium, main sponsor Huawei is adding an extra incentive of $10,000.

The next home game is the Phoenix vs Melbourne Heart on February 16 at Westpac Stadium. As soon as the gate ticker hits 10,000 the draw goes live and one lucky fan will be picked at random to take home the $10,000 cash.

With the Phoenix winning five of their last six matches – including a spectacular 5-0 victory in the last game at Westpac – there is no doubt the players are turning up and now their main sponsor Huawei hopes to encourage football fans to do the same. 

 “The team has been playing some exciting football and are just one win away from breaking into a playoff position. It would be fantastic to see a big crowd show up to get behind the Phoenix and help lift them when they play at home,” Huawei Director of Public Affairs Andrew Bowater said.

“The atmosphere at home games is already great, but with over 10,000 it will be amazing. We’re hoping this will help to push a few more people off the couch and down to the stadium with us.”

 To get in the draw, all you need to do is turn up to the game. Your ticket will be scanned on entry and the moment the big screen shows attendance of 10,000 the prize goes live and someone will walk away with the $10,000.

The winning seat number will be randomly selected from the scanned tickets and announced at half-time. 

Round up your mates, get to the stadium, get loud, and be in with the chance to take home $10k for 10k.

If this works and we get 10k we should just do it every week. Get cracking Wahway.

Awkward if less than 10k turn up...

Hey guys, heart fan here who is making the trip across the ditch for the game. What's the go pre-game, I hear you guys are the most friendly in the league, so pre game beverages??

Awesome idea from a great sponsor. BUT should give away a dollar for every fan that turns up... 20k fans = $20k, sold out = $34,500.  

"most friendly in the league"?

This is why no one fears coming here anymore.

We should make a concerted effort to be the most passive-aggressive in the league.

*stares angrily and mutters "tsk tsk tsk"*

I hope it's not raspberry jam. Those little pips would be really annoying if they got under your fore...

...nevermind

wasnt the pax higher than the actual crowd last time out in wellington? 

lets have the pax discussion again, always fun ;)

Where else is this promotion being advertised to get the casual punter along? I've only seen it on here and the Phoenix facebook page.

In Russian Tier 2 (National League), there is a team from Vladivostok & another from Kalingrad (7372Kms), an additional 2000kms on Wellington Perth, luckily for Vladivostok, in 2013/14 there is also a team from Khabarovsk, though the vast majority of teams are over 5000kms away in Western Russia. 

Not sure any fans would make that away trip though. ;-)   But yeah good on the Perth fans for making the trip.

I know the distances involved and that sounds pretty insane.... I can't believe they do not have regional conference / division games?

On the other hand, they fly subsidised on Aeroflot.... but still even the time zone difference alone, that is just mind-blowing.

They are regionalised below that level, so third tier (Russian second Div) has about 6 regional divisions, but the top two levels are national competitions. Are a couple of teams competing for promotion that are even further east than Vladivostok, so could get interesting, is talk of a conferenced type set-up, but nothing at official levels.
