I used to drive for Kingz and Knights games but I didn't pay my gas bills back then and gas was a shitload cheaper.
Hitching wins over driving for dedication in my book. However, I'm driving down from Auck for the next home game - better not be a 0-5 repeat!
It does but as a student you have the time to invest in hitching.
Work and family preclude taking a couple of days to go each way.
DIdn't I come with you for one of those games News. Jeepers.
I was there! Great game, great result for the team
2232 came (see www.asbpremiership.co.nz)
Bill Robertson to TeeDubs
source? confirmed?
Kudos to Pistol Pete Chote for taking the Nix Reserves announcement in stride:
"Team Wellington chairman Peter Chote has welcomed the inclusion of the Wellington Phoenix in the 2014-15 national league, despite the inevitable ''challenges'' it will bring."
I don't think it'll affect TW numbers too much. Those that attend their games tend to be the tragics anyway.
It may even boost average slightly as the Wellington 'derby' is sure to attract a few casuals.
It'll help the playing squad not having to worry about playing nix kids as well.

I hope so.

For those who don't listen to In The Zone we came up with a genius idea for the derby (game one of the ASBP).
Fever fans turn up in Yellow and draw straws. Half support TW. Half support Nix B.
Give each other shit.

Do we have to give our names when we buy tickets? It may kick off
<p>Genuinely upset that I'm going to miss that derby. Best thing will be how personal shit will get, I would pay to watch Hard News berate Boxey for singing for the "wrong" Wellington.</p>
It will make it harded for TW to sell the Phoenix dream though. Surely some of last years players had that dangled as a carrot
on the other hand, it might entice a few decent players back; those who aren't concerned with the phoenix dream distraction

I see I'll be in Wellington for the "derby". Are ACFC supporters 'casuals'?
Team Wellington sign Michael O'Keeffe and Bill Robertson: http://t.co/3eoCIBchl6

nice work on both signings!
i had wondered if we'd see stingray back this year, but obviously not
no money - 3 training sessions a week and game day/weekend is a big ask.

Feneridis and Jarrod Smith signed.
Interesting.
i hope jarrod smith is fit and healthy
feneridis i rate

Bloody good stuff. I'm looking forward to this summer. Nix and TeeDubs both putting out reasonable squads.
i hope jarrod smith is fit and healthy
Coming off the back of a remarkable season for Birko. Averaged over a goal a game.
Those two will be decent for TW. Smith can be a bit of a child if the ball is not put exactly where he wants if from what I saw at Birko (they were disfunctional so...) but with those two, Robertson and O'Keefe, thats a decent spine to build around.
Edit: When I think about this, I doubt he would try that if Ifill was his striker partner. That could be bloody scary when you think about those two up front.

sounds like you know him well
so, who will teedubs sign next?
i think they need to sign peverley, fa'arodo and cowan to ensure continuity.
the list of 'outs' is quite large:
charlie henry's gone home
as has roy kayara
tom doyle to the phoenix
timmins to ??
someone mentioned chettleburgh is off to hawkes bay. any truth in this?
lindsay almost certainly won't be back based on comments he recently made about rebuilding his career after a few years in wellington
i see that bertsch has transferred overseas
watson, gulley, blake and stevens are all transferring to the phoenix reserves
Will they go back to central league players or keep sco uting the country? A few of the new faces at Wests maybe?
according to the dom post article that smithy linked earlier, there will be some central league players announced this week

Will anyone from Olympic make it? Abba? Fifi?
http://www.tw.org.nz/news/?nid=742&start=0
rosenthal, peverley and lissette confirmed
for out of towners, greg rosenthal is a US national who plays at left or centre back for Westerns Suburbs. he used to play in the 2nd and 3rd tiers in Sweden
what Mar regulars are gonna step up (across)?
You'd think Fa'arado and Mason-Smith will be there.
