Sunday at the Ring of Fire
STRONG interest in Wellington Phoenix FC�s first warmup hitout in the capital has resulted in the club switching Sunday�s 2007 Pre-Season Cup clash against Sydney FC from Newtown Park to Westpac Stadium.
Wellington Phoenix FC, after discussions with the Wellington City Council, decided to move Sunday�s match to Westpac Stadium due to concerns that Newtown Park would not have the capacity to cope with the big crowd expected.
Wellington Phoenix FC chief executive Tony Pignata said switching Sunday�s game against Sydney FC to Westpac Stadium was the best solution.
�Newtown Park only has the capacity for about 3000 people and we decided we needed facilities to cater for what we expect will be a big turnout.�
Sunday�s match against Sydney FC is Wellington Phoenix�s second match in the 2007 Pre-Season Cup, the warmup competition to the Hyundai A-League 2007/08 season.
Kickoff is set for 2pm and the gates at Westpac Stadium will be open from 1pm. Entry to Sunday�s match costs $10 for adults, while children (16 and under) will get free entry. All tickets presold for Sunday�s match will be accepted at Westpac Stadium on match day.

I stand to be correctd but I think the NPC game is scheduled for Porirua Park so Westpac will be untouched.
...and it's the middle of summer and dry.
