R19 vs Melbourne City | Sat 15th Feb | 7:00pm | Eden Park/SS7

I'm unable to head up to this game, so I was wondering if anyone was planning on collecting unused members tickets for charities this time around?

how do members redeem tickets for the game anyway?

has the club announced anything yet?

It was all pretty easy for last game - just email members@welingtonphoenix.com and I think they'll sort you out.

Anyone know of any car parking in the area that will not get me clamped, ticketed or towed? I'm driving up. 

Thanks RR, Driving up from Wellington with my Grandson.

Out of the country or I'd do it- was a good idea when I last did it. Maybe some fever overlord is?

City 4-1, after watching them draw with Glory I just don't see how we are gonna get anything out of this match besides a lose.

Give me a day and will see if can speak to contact at Ronald McDonald House in Auckland to collect them again for the house

Just looked at flights on a spur of the moment...$500 bucks for a return ticket for me and a 5 year old...I know it's short notice, but man that's a lot of money! I guess I'll keep the money and take him to watch the AW at the Nations Cup later in the year.

Does the season membership work for this one too?  If so, i'd happily let someone use mine as I won't be going to it.

cheers - will give this a try.

Yip, your normal season membership gives you tickets to the Auckland game, just got to claim them from members@welingtonphoenix.com

Cheers, didn't realise that. I'd have done it for the first game too! 

There are a few roads close enought to walk from, check the map that they have here

If you're driving up, why not park in Papakura and take the train in?

Ronald McDonald House in Auckland said they would love tickets for families staying to be able to attend the game. So if you aren't going but have a Nix membership then you can donate them.

After speaking with the Nix, If I get first and last name and member number, then I’ll send them all to Nix as a list to pull a section of tickets all together for the house. Can email me: matt@yellowfever.co.nz or DM me here

Dorolas, is that the same "Kura" as on TV?? ;)

Cheers for that. Just googled and picked a place to park and should be safe.

just emailed you with e-tix of mine and my sons tickets...

Thank you, they have just come throguh 

I feel like we could win vs city but i also think we can lose vs city 

Or we could possibly draw.

I have a feeling that whichever team scores more goals will win. Unless they both score an equal amount of goals. Or don't score at all.

Just bought up 10 tickets. See ya'll see. 

Accommodation booked
Still to do: buy ticket, book dog into kennels,  ask neighbour to feed cat, get my Nix gear ready...

Gareth Morgan will be happy to take care of that.

Just got tickets.  Great help fom the Phoenix desk at Ticketek. 

The rufer, steinman, devlin conundrum this week, the nix must almost have the greatest central midfield depth on the a league. 

Really a Rufer-Devlin conundrum IMO as Steinmann walks back into lineup v Perth easily. Devlin has made every post a winner since coming in, but will be interesting to see if he retains his zip after the bye week and long trip to Perth. Rufer on bench.

So, there you go - conundrum solved! :)

Devlin has to be a walk-in too, he's pretty much been a contender for motm every game he's started. Also his style complements the style of Rufer and Steinmann which we saw at the start of the season that Rufer and Steinmann were too simialr.

I think Steinmann and Devlin clearly start and it's up to Rufer to fight his way back in.

Rufer/Steinmann are too similar. Steinmann clearly our best midfielder. Doesn't leave a lot of space for Alex when Steinmann is fit/not suspended.

I think Wilson should be seen as the back up to Devlin, Rufer the back up to Steinmann. That Devlin/Wilson midfield was a bit lightweight.

Interesting that Steinmann played as centre back for the weenix, wonder if Talay is assessing options for how to fit Rufer in.

I seriously doubt that. Every decent team has good players on the bench. He'll get another chance, and I don't think he's good enough to shoehorn in.

This. Just a way for everyone to get minutes. Wilson didn't offer much it has to be said.

At the same time could be looking to the future this season, if Taylor or De Vere go down

Hudson-Wihongi and McGing would be first cabs off the rank in that case.
