The World Game is floating the idea on facebook that the Phoenix should be renamed "New Zealand Phoenix". Thoughts?
Idea wouldn’t sit well with Phoenix fans in Wellington. But if they continue with this road show, it would make sense.
I think the Nix need to work on building a stronger brand here in Wellington and growing the core fanbase rather than alienating us further.
Taking more than one or two games out of Wellington isn’t really a sustainable model. Aim should be to build a strong team here in Wellington and hopefully create a second A-League team in New Zealand - Christchurch could work. Not that the FFA would be that keen on it though.
We’re black and yellow. Black and yellow is Wellington. No point changing the name, whole country gets behind us either way.
