I have mixed feelings about the Phoenix part of the name, i think
it is OK and i'm sure it will grow on me, BUT I am absolutely
stoked with the 'Wellington' part of the name.
Thank god we don;t have to put up with 'NZ does this, NZ does
that etc etc'
The whole add on New Zealand thing is stupid - it is the Auckland
Warriors to me whether they call it NZ or not - and I'm a big
Warriors fan either way.
The Wellington part of the name is brilliant - a great move.
Phoenix isn't so flash but there you go we're stuck with it. I
wonder why it sounds American - oh because they have a city called
that.
I mean Hotspurs is about as silly as it gets in England, Wellington
FC would have been the story and that's what it's going to be for
me.
