Looks like the APL have done well with having us play away in Melbourne during the Boxing Day Test - should be plenty of people keen to see both the Black Caps and Phoenix

Auckland playing away at Melbourne City on the 27th too.
Second season in a row they're playing the Sydney derby in the opening round. Such a waste to play the league's biggest derby right at the start rather than letting it build up hype, similar sentiment with F3.

Shoot I hadn't noticed this at first glance. We're doing christmas in Melbourne for the boxing day test. This will absolutely be the cherry on top! My first time in the away bay for a Phoenix game. Can't wait!

As someone else posted earlier, I think a derby or two in the first few weeks is a good idea off the back of a World Cup. Thats when football is at maximum interest levels for casuals. Best chance every 4 years to hopefully hook in some new A League fans.
Though yes the league does start nearly 3 months after the big dance finishes.
Both Kiwi teams playing in Melbourne whilst the Black Caps are playing the Boxing Day test. Accommodation might be a bit pricey but that is a decent travel option.
Glad last home game is at Wellington (as it is our home). no more of the six weeks left and no games in WGTN. It disengages your fan base and the last home game should ALWAYS be in Wellington.
If your suggesting a game there very much doubt it,wouldnt think it would pass A League standards. Plus from memory we never played any A League games there. My money and hope is a double header in Christchurch on Watangi weekend. ( better be im already booked😉)

It's Greeny talking about taking this season's squad to Newtown Park for a training session. NP being where Greeny used to train when he was a Nix player, and a reminder to today's players the club was born 20 years ago with facilities far less flash than NZCIS.

Pitch is actually pretty decent, especially after upogrades due to women's world cup, lighting wouldnt be up to scratch nor wotu the other facilities but the pitch is mint.

I thought they changed the lights too? Nice touch bringing them back to where he started, solidifies the grounding perspective.

yeah the lighting was improved but really only decent for training, the womens central league play night games there, but I imagine for tv they would meet aleague standards.
