The Protest Thread - 17th February and 25th March

WE ARE NOT THE AUCKLAND PHOENIX

Maybe get a couple of people to hold that banner in the zone or over directly in front of the tv cameras

Wuway I believe are the people responsibile. I'd like a name of the person representing the company whom told the Nix to do it.

Now if you feel that you can't go on

Because all of your hope is gone,

And your Nix is filled with much confusion

Until winning is just an illusion,

And your team around is crumblin' down;

Phoenix, reach out (come on Nix, reach on out for me)

Reach out (reach out for me.)

Aisle Ten, with a song that will shelter you.

Aisle Ten, with a song that will see you through.

[Reach Out - I'll Be There - Four Tops}

Followed by: 

The Huawei took my club away

They took the Nix away

Away from me                                          or  (Away to Albany)

The Huawei took my club away

Took the Nix away

Away from me                                           or (Away to Albany)

[The KKK Took My Baby Away - The Ramones ]

What tunes do they play to? Hatters song of course as well. I'll print some off on Friday, just in case there's more than 5 of us!

Yes.  There is a good idea.  Attempt to alienate the large multi-national throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars at the club.  I'm sure there is a massive queue of others lining up to replace them...

 HUAWEI TOOK MY CLUB AWAY! AWAY TO ALBANY

Have added song at bottom of each one 

Do you really think Wuway give a crap about this? Let's be honest, five people (Hopefully more) are hardly going to make Wuway fall over. Sony were a good sponsor too. Great prizes from them at the various half time competitions. Are you making Wuway appear like a last resort sponsor?

It's just an observation or comment on what has happened 
Perhaps we could just say nothing and not renew our membership next season
That's where I am at the moment. 
Taking the last game of the season away is the last straw for me  

'Disappointed' is my pick. Short but sweet. Also shows we have more discrepancies with the club than just a simple rescheduled game

Huawei PhoneNix?

I think, "you don't know what your doing" from aisle 10 should cover it.

Or even "Wellington is wonderful"

Yeah, with things being very precarious at the club who knows what small thing might break the camels back. I doubt Huawei are happy with the return on their investment and so if the fans are actively hostile that might be the difference between them signing or not. No sponsors, no club.

Hopefully, but still the club signed the sponsor and the club made the decisions to take games to other centres. I'd be directing my anger at the club and not the sponsors personally.

If Huawei want to throw money at the club and it means 2 games are played in Auckland then surely that's an acceptable compromise, as long as it's known by everyone at the start of the season.

What's not OK and should be the direction of the anger is the way the club went about rescheduling the second game... and their lack of communication and regard for the fans in general.

Nothing like a good protest.

Just need a picket line and some scabs.

And the club did the communication and timing of the announcement. 

"The Nix are nearly as bad as QPR"

♡

Good on you LG. I'm based in Orkz otherwise I'd join you.

You should get yer hoops out so they think you've switched allegiances!

Have to assume that some people at the stadium don't belong on this forum and won't have a clue what's going on

Therefore a banner isn't probably a bad idea

obviously needs to be short and to the point so they can quickly figure out the purpose of the protest and join in if they see fit.

So come on the Fever Sing

We know Huawei Win

Can’t believe you would take

Our last game away (last game away)

Auckland ain’t our Home

Thank you David Dome

We’re the WELLINGTON PHOENIX

And THIS IS OUR HOME

To to tune of Sloop John B

And a big fire in an oil drum!

#LITTLE RESPECT 

Whilst singing;

I tried to discover 

A little something to make you sweeter........etc. 

The dude who was complaining about the poddy sounding too Boy George will probably not be impressed with an Erasure song :D

He’ll complain alright, when I try to hit the high notes!!! ?

Seriously: a banner reading something like STOP TAKING OUR HOME GAMES TO AUCKLAND is the bare minimum to get your point across.

or

THIS IS OUR CLUB

THIS IS OUR HOME

Far too vague, guys.

It's a banner not a change.org petition. 

No, but if a person who sees the banner on TV or at the ground and knows nothing of the background can't see INSTANTLY that it is a protest and what you are protesting, it is a wasted effort

Have been so pissed off at the NIx in recent times I didn't even watch the last home game on Sky.

This protest will at least lead to increased viewer numbers for Sky TV.
