Good article, shots of today's training, interview with Ricki.
 
Nothing from TVNZ as expected, just 5 mins on the crappy Air NZ Cup. . .

Tv 3 just had a brief preview, with a few pics and a word from Ricky
 
much better than those plonkers at TV1 (unless i missed something - then I'll eat humble pie but right now i reckon they deserve a flyblown cane toad in a pie)
 
I'm going to email them both

Hey, don't be too quick with that praise.
 
The article was good but the graphic they had up while introducing the story had the wrong friggin' emblem.
 
Some red and black thing, not ours at all.
 
Bl**dy great twats!

I noticed that as well.  Some other club crest.  But like Phil said good to get some coverage.

Rugby's the national sport therefore it should get a lot of time. Tvnz don't show much soccer at all and thats dissapointing but what we should do is just live with it

Yeah  it is tempting to get locked into the rugby vs football comparisons - and right now we'll always come off second best (in the numbers/ not in the buzz!).
 
As for living with TVNZ's current lack of awareness of how big the A-league could become in NZ, well I'll continue to flick channels in hope but i always talk up TV3 because they consistently provide better football coverage and i'll email them both from time to time - because i still (foolishly believe the idea that they are responsive - ha!)

I agree that football doesn't get enough coverage, but even the rugby coverage is focussed alot on the five main provinces. I support the Northland rugby team and even though their is far more rugby coverage than I think is necessary I hardly ever find any coverage on the smaller unions such as Northland. Now I know some of you might not care, but I thought I would point out that it is not quite Rugby in general. The fact I find annoying is that they recycle the same stories about Auckland, Canterbury, Wellington etc Yet ignore other sports and even the smaller unions. Now even if you are interested in Rugby, I'm sure you must get tired of reading the same articles over and over again...so maybe they could give us some more diverse stories...how about the Phoenix to start with??

give us the $10 million, we could buy some good players and a stadium, or it will cover a portion of our bar tab for the first home game vs melbourne. I know if we win it will be around $27million
