This is just the right kind of club and league for him at this point in his career.
Really?

I was looking for the Arena food menu, but all I could find was the cost to building the stadium: NZ$210
I'll take 10!
Also this is pretty sexy:
^ No room. Tiny pitch hemmed in by houses and street. Weren't even allowed permit to build the tiny stand that's there without hassle and compromise.
NIMBY's?

At $210m for it really shows what bollocks the building of the Petone Arena at $40m actually was.

How many people can you fit in one parking space?!

More like: Can you bend the stand a bit guys so it doesn't encroach on the public footpath.

Actually, NZ$210 million sounds really excessive for a small stadium.
Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin cost NZ$224 million but it has a roof and seats 30,000.
The model for a Wellington stadium (and Gareth Morgan confirmed to me that he had studied this one) is more like the "New York Stadium," Rotherham, a state-of-the-art 12,000 seat stadium which opened in 2012 and is the home of Rotherham United - it cost about 25 million pounds. Doubles as the major conference centre in the area hosting 700.

Don't forget that everything is Switzerland is crazy expensive.

All this talk about artificial surfaces reminds of a story about an American Gridiron football player.....when asked if he preferred, grass or Astro turf he replied....." Dunno, I ain't never smoked no Astro turf"
LOL

Cuckoo clocks are from the Black Forest. Swiss watches can get quit expensive, the sky s the limit.
played 46 minutes in a warm-up game vs shaffhausen or some such....apparently caused the opposition all kinds of troubles in the first half but didn't score
The next 6 months will be pretty make or break for Marco I think.
for his European dream anyway.....he would be able to walk back into the A-league for the next three years and be considered a star if he just reassessed his dreams

And Construction in Wellington isn't?
Yes the one in Thun may be over the top, but to think we could build something from anything other than scaffolding and shade cloth and a few old Lion Brown Crates for 1/5th of the cost?
Close to 30 years in the construction sector says "maaaaaattteeeee ya dreamin"
Played 45m in what looks like a friendly overnight
next game is in Turkey....nice work if you can get it
Some fans are happy with his performance. Made a good impression in the first test match. Got some cheering form the fans for a solo run. They think Kiwi-Messi is quicker than Suomi-Ronaldo, but a bit toothless in front of the goal.
Amazing how the fates conspire sometimes.
This will be interesting for Marco - Thun's next friendly is against Greuther Furth !!!
Talking about a chance to prove something. Will be played Wednesday am NZT.

Not sure how much action Marco saw...

Not a great result that
Highlights here from Fürth TV of the game: Youtube
Marco in number 10, don't see much of him but has a couple of nice turns and a shot on goal from 2:10...
probably didnt see enough of him to care

Responsible for the only Thun highlight of the match by the looks of it. Shows good strength and quick feet however the shot looked to be the wrong option with an unmarked teamate at the top of the 18 yard box.
Didn't play in their 0-1 loss to Hertha BSC, Marco was listed as sick. Dodgy kebab perhaps?
1:0 test match win for Thun.
Rojas got an assist! Marco's shot on goal, keeper could not handle it, Sedik put in the back of the net. He played 67. minutes.
Good signs but Rojas has done well in these meaningless matches for Stuttgart.
Google translate makes for entertaining reading:
"Marco Rojas came in the penalty area from the left at the end. The shot of the Geneva goalkeeper could still defend, but the rebound went straight into the feet of Berat Sadik, who coolly put the ball via a Geneva defender in the mesh."
Right in the mesh...
Snowing at the Stockhorn arena.Marco starting.
Stupid stream.Missed it.Yes nice couple of runs by Marco.
Big chance to win it for Marco, rattles it off the crossbar.Nearly put it in the top corner.
Good stuff Marco.
