Perhaps live would be a different story and maybe one day I will find out.
I like that article – interesting tactic. Sounds like classic counter-attacking by sitting deep but also combined with aggressive team pressing in your own half.
]]>I never troll. I sometimes poke, occasionally prod. And I’ve been known to kid and jest. Or tease. Or maybe provoke. But never to troll.
Here’s a fun one: the one time hockey imitated soccer. It was brilliant. Because it was only one game, and in particular 3 minutes of one game.

]]>You are pretty much on the money about Eric, but completely wrong about ice hockey. Of the five sports I both watched on TV and been to a game live (cricket, baseball, rugby, American football and ice hockey), ice hockey is far and away the one that improves the most in going from screen to live. As a live sport, ice hockey (at least at NHL level) is an awesome experience.
]]>So where is this billboard now? Good idea!
]]>I guess I didn’t make myself clear enough, but yes agnito … public awareness. Obviously if a few of us don’t even know when the next game is, there needs to be some serious overhaul.
]]>Eric is just trolling, I don’t think he likes any sport. If he does, he’s Canadian so probably likes the worst spectator sport in the world – ice hockey! 😛
]]>There used to be one, outside Terry’s HQ…
]]>It is easy to find out when the games are on (I also live in AKL these days but was a season ticket holder for the first 3 years), the issue here is that the non-core fans aren’t the type of people who look at the phoenix fixture list regularily or have the draw on their fridge.
The casual fans are the ones who will see a big banner for a game the coming weekend and make a spur of the moment decision to go.
]]>Have you seen the Official Phoenix twitter and FB accounts? I think they do have some of the info you are talking about (they even do txt updates during games), but that could more just be an issue that there isn’t large public awareness about the social media accounts the club runs.
