We still call Australia home

I know that we are nothing without our sponsors. I truly appreciate their support for our team.

I own lots of sony stuff.

I went sailing on that car boat thing with my girlfriend and 3 kiddies.

I have no need to buy a bed, or a car but when I do guess whose door I am probably going to be knocking on.


But sorry Qantas, I will never call Australia home.

Aussie league, Aussie partners in flying teams everywhere - 7 out of out team are based in Aus! and technically we are an Aussie team playing out of NZ. - horrible ad I agree, but what can you do!

Queenslander 3x a year.

Qantas have got nothing on Hyundai, they ran an A-League competition for a new car, but only residents of Australia were eligible to enter

New Zealand should be part of Australia. Up until WWI it was generally thought that we would be, and in cultural, sporting and economic terms we basically already are. Only politics and pride are in the way.

I already have, banished myself to Beijing. Maximum temperature of minus one today and that's not counting the wind chill factor from the northerly coming straight from Siberia. Hows the weather in Welly?

+1

That being said, I'd like to see it dubbed - for the sheer sake of the sponsors. Strongly promoting your Australian-ness can be bad marketing in a territory that bases of a lot of its identity off disliking Australia Especially when sports is involved!

If only Ansett were still around...


But in all seriousness and to bring more attention to our wonderful sponsors...I hate Qantas.

However, what they do for our little team - and the A league - is pretty cool. I doubt that the bail-out loving, money hungry, late running, rugby loving Air New Zealand NPC cup lovers wouldn't be as nice to the Phoenix...
