We Want 10,000

Still, get adverts at the cricket. Should rope in a few.

i was reffering to tony.p a bit late now i suppose?

Has anyone heard any promotions at all for this Friday's game?

Ive heard one ad on Radio Sport but nothing else, would be interesting to get Tonys response to the questions you posed in the other thread Smithy after the club put the skids on the plan you guys had developed.

Thanks Shogan.

Yeah, for a big push to boost crowd numbers, have not seen much advertising except the usuall stuff.

Get some people walking round handing out fliers at the Basin. Supposed to be a nice day, perfect way to cap off your Friday.

Smithy - there was also a comp in the dom post to win a couple from the council, I don't have the email address or details you need to enter though.

They've been running the competition in the Dom Post for the last week and a bit to fly into the stadium in the chopper, and win flights to watch the return match in Melbourne in January.

So there has been some sideline promotions going on to attract attention to this game.

Personally, I think they should be making more of the fact we're playing the top of the table team, and the Phoenix are in 6th spot in finals contention.

There are some really clear opportunities to spell it out to the general public that the Phoenix are performing well. But you would never see that by looking at the match posters which is essentially Greenacre every time with a time and date.

Need some better direct marketing noting things like "13 wins at home unbeaten", "Support the Phoenix in their race to the Finals", "Watch the Phoenix take on the league leaders Melbourne Victory" etc.

The general public who don't follow the A-League are really not going to look this stuff up on the internet, and I doubt a lot of them read the articles on Stuff often enough to figure this out.

Some times being blatantly direct about things is a good option.

Handed out flyers this arvo. At one stage I accidently tried to offer one to Ben Sigmund, turns out he's a bit busy friday night.

Just bought my tickets (having not won the DomPost comp and missing out on the helicopter ride to the stadium) and they are numbers 6433-6435 - so maybe we're 2/3rds of the way to 10,000.

Are these ticket numbers inclusive of season tickets?

Hope not.

I thought the 5k was always going to be there for ticket sales.
But the crowd number is judged by how many people pass through the turnstiles.

Haven't we covered this before?

Yes this is why the Stadium figure was not at full capacity for the AWs game. Despite the fact it was sold out.wellyphoenixfan2009-12-02 19:22:53

Yeah ticket sales and attendance are completely different things. Im quite sure those MOJO freebies will be counted as sales even,but not all would turn up (especially if the weather is dodgy). Same goes for ticket season holders.

C'mon Wellington, back the Phoenix min. crowd = 10 000
GO THE PHOENIX!!!

got another four coming with me on friday so hopefully that will help get closer. tried to bring a friends missus but he would not let me funny that..just had a phone call this morning from the wanganui chronicle wanting to do a story on me attending phoenix games and being a season ticket holder (must be a slow news day in wanganui if they want to do a story on me.)i guess they are trying to get people in wanganui interested in attending the game against sydney at palmerston north.

got 4 extra coming with me.

got my fever shirt ready, did not realise how many phoenix shirts i own must be a merchendisers dream customer.

got me, my missus, my brother and his missus, 2 younger sisters, 2 cousins, plus 2 of their friends, my brother's missus's brother, and possibly some of his friends, plus atleast 6 of my mates who havnt made any games this season coming to the game. 

So about 17 or more non-regulars attending with me. My work here is done. 

top work. 

Noticed on ticketek that there is no Phoenix v Victory link? Whats the go? Anyone know?

Thanks mate. Not linked from Phoenix main page. Pretty bad >_<

Last time I was in Welly I took two taxis. One driver was Croatian, the other was Greek. Neither had heard of the Phoenix, although both were football fans. Not good enough.

Until you have some sort of "Taxi drivers get in free' policy, your crowds will suffer imo.

If this is they guy I'm thinking of, he's been to quite a few Phoenix games. Maybe it was just your slurred drunken speech that confused him.

a) Are you sure it was Welly and not e.g. Auckland or ChCh? ...or Levin.

b) How long ago?

c) All of the taxi drivers I've spoken to know about the Nix.  But did have one Greek who was into League??!!?? (but did know of Terry).

Croat was a chick. This was a couple of years ago. And was mos' def Welly.

Have the pre-sales/comps been any better for this game?

a couple of years ago we only JUST got a club running.

I'm bringing 8 Phoenix virgins, made them come as part of my birthday booze up.

Good weather= 10,000

I went to your first game, there was 14,000 people there.

8200 2night almost there

Poor crowd - we haven't done anything to build on the hype of the All Whites

15,000
