Tell me about Wellington Phoenix

Tell me about Wellington Phoenix

We (PhD students from Germany) are conducting research on the A-League and would like to get as many Wellington Phoenix fans as possible.

Every participant will automatically entered in a prize draw to win a 200$ Qantas voucher to support your team anywhere
in Australia. To participate please use... the following link: http://equestionnaire.de/?q=6326

The questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and we can also provide you with the
main results if you are interested (see how you compare to other A-League teams).

Thanks for your participation.

Cheers and good luck for the finals...  Smithy2010-02-01 10:33:46

Interesting.

Scam, Spam or Legit?

Edit- Seems legit so I did it.

2nd Edit - Got bored at 50% its a pretty long questionnaire, finished it though.CboZ2010-02-01 10:52:58

It wouldn't take as long if they didn't repeat so many damn questions 
Having done similar research however, it is understandable...

Some of the questions are repetitive but not too onerous.

Seems to be legit. Takes you to the official A League site when you're done.

There was a question about " fantasy league"....Whats " fantasy league"?

It shouts at me in German!

Bitte eine Zahl eingeben!'

Ahh!

I play it. Something to do to kill time

spot the cross referenced questions. they ask the same question about 4 or 5 times, just worded differently

an effective way to measure if a question is affected by those questions that are asked around it. Generally the more important questions are treated in this manner

Excuse me?  

I didn't realize that was happening because the Phoenix won

a bit premature?

I think some of the wording was changed slightly to change between past, present and future tense. Not very clear though as obviously their first language wasn't English.

took a bit longer than 10 mins but interesting

Wow, you guys are pretty active...
sorry for the "shouting in German at you", we must have forgotten to change this as well, but I guess you figured out that you needed to enter a number ;)

Thanks for participating....

How come you guys choose the a-league?

It is a new league and perfect to compare to old and established leagues. We also try to compare contextual differences between teams of the league because they are still in the development stage. Pretty interesting compared to the EPL where every team exists since 100 years and are toys of billionnaires...

done didly done it- hope i win the purse.

C'mon Thilo-play the game!

will you be making your findings available online in due course Thilo ??

We will not make the available online but send an email to participants who ticked the last box... This ensures that the results are not floating around the net and just everyone can have a look at them before we publish them in a journal... but if you want we can provide you with an overview (just tick the last box...)

yep, done that have fun with the data Thilo

might be worth comparing to other Australian professional sports- or taking the way they are organised into consideration.

otherwise v. cool.

Hmmmm...can watching the Nix ever said to be for the beauty and grace of the game?

Done. Cool stuff.

The Nix failed miserably for me in that department!

done

Yeah, what?

Fertig!

I didn't find the questions too bad, but maybe I'm just homesick.. I wrote quite a long essay about why I love the Phoenix and Wellington in the box at the end XD

Ich w�nsche Ihnen viel Erfolg! :)

done, I look forward to seeing the results.

do you think you have a chance away against Gold Coast United? 

Of course. Anyone has a chance in this league - that is what is good (and sometimes bad) about it. We could beat them 6-0 again or lose 6-0 , anything can happen.

...it remains an interesting question...

Just got the results of the survey sent by email.

Just graphs, no interpretation or discussion. Nothing of any major surprise it seems.

How boring, I got a bit excited when I read the first line. Was hoping for comparison with leagues around the world.

The best part: "unfortunately, no North Queensland Fury fan participated."

I found it interesting, will definitely look at the article they are gonna bring it later this year, probably way more in-depth analysis.Azevo2010-06-22 21:57:05
