Hi all,

Couple of things... Is there anybody who can tell me where the feck I can get a Phoenix shirt in Brisvegas? Or do I just give it up and wait 'til I'm home early next year and get one then? Same goes for the YF shirts - they look shirt-hot on telly, especially wiv all the seats at the cake tin... lol

Is there a YF branch here on the wrong side of the ditch? And if not we need one - I'm sure I'm not the only ex-Wellyfornian doin it tough trying to find out whats goin on (and tryin to find excuses to go to Wgton, besides the sevens lol).

Any suggestions would be appreciated - and no, not those ones; I'm not an Aussie... nor will I be lol.


Cheers all

I'm sure there is the foundations of a YF Melbourne branch (uid: Valeo?) - also look for Sam (uid: SydneyPhoenix08 ) on this board - he and his mates were the Sydney YF fans that got the black on Yellow Phoenix sign made up.

Nowhere to buy online as of yet - but you can email the club store at shop@wellingtonphoenix.com or call on +64 4 384 0188 and I'm sure they'll post to you.

Yeah, that'll be the way...


Looks like I may have to pull out the old Wgtn Lions shirt for Suncorp then...

But the way the Roar are going (again) I'll at least be at the right end of the field lol

Maaaaate !!!!! (I bin 'ere too long me thinks)...


Fer a hundred and suxty I reckon you should kit out the whole team (if there was in fact a team... as opposed to sum goober who left the Hutt Valley for greener pastures, which are in fact brown).

I'm comin/goin over in December so will prob wait 'til then and get the whole lot... and 20 pints and the "bencher too !!!

It may be my last pathetic effort to retain whats left of my accent!

Hope by then our white "Away" kit will be in. I reckon they'll be more popular than this black jersey. I'm waiting for one myself. Be good to have you revisit Wellington. You''l love the crowd in the Stadium and the noise they create!
 
Good luck till then.

Yeah, the white would definately be the go - especially over here!!!


I haven't been to the C-tin since about 2000 S12... those were the days!!!


Having said that, the local footy ground here isn't too shabby either to be fair lol (and they did at least have the sense to use different, ok ,two different, colours for the seats lol)

I got mine for $120 from Soccer Fever in Swan Street, Richmond, Melbourne. I'm sure if you ring them they can sort out a mail order job.

Number is (03) 9421 9000. It's just down the road from the Victory club shop (boooooooooo!) Supermercado2007-09-24 21:00:52

Merc... sounds a go...

Nic - sounds good to me... seems I can get a shirt here OK, though not sure about the Mexican connection, esp the Melb Draw... There's a footy shop here which I'm gonna call today in a desperate attempt so who knows... Any YF/Nix shirt would be sensational!!! And the flag sounds a goer too!

We'll need all the help we can get at the game - I'm tryin to drum up a couple other expats but their rug-heads so it's a bit of a struggle. I asked one if she wants to come and watch Wgton v Qld in a coupla weeks and when she replied that she was sure the S14 had finished, I resigned myself to a defeat - though there is a glimmer of hope!

And the white shirts will be good here for ten months of the year - not two lol

PS: How to I borrow one of those signature/banner things? Esp whilst it's a good time to be a Gooner - gotta spread the word lol.

WTFITH?

They're not scoring much at the moment anyway! But that's another topic!!
 
I'm from Ireland actually, just heading home through that way, lived in Brissy for a while a few years back, worked in the Pig N Whistle out in Indooropilly! I'll try and get all the lads that are still working there to come to the game with me! But they're all Broncos League fans!
