A league in england.

Just started watching the a league here in england. Chose Wellington as my team to follow. Done a bit of research but please be patient with my knowledge. Trying to spread the word of the phoenix. Where will the goals be coming from now burns is with australia? I will be watching on wednesday morning against adelaide. 

Probably nowhere.

Good on you mate for picking the right team.

Goalwise, we may hopefully see a younger bloke (Tyler Boyd) play a full game.

With Burns & Krishna out it's tough to say... McGlinchey has scored a few this season but isn't usually a goal scorer. Key will be good service from Bonevecia, McGlinchey, Riera to get stuff going. Away to Adelaide isn't usually a good trip for us.

The goals will still be at opposite ends of the ground, roughly 100m apart.

Welcome aboard.Just out of curiosity where abouts in blighty are you from? And who do you support?

As for goals wouldn't be surprised to see Tyler Boyd score a few as he's been doing well for the reserves. 

WeeMac

Welcome abroad, nice to have oversea follows. Discussion is happening in the new match thread around who goal scorer will be. Not sure if Boyd will get a start but hope he does. WeeMac and Roly are our next two scorers and hopefully one of them fires.

Roly will get a 30 yard screamer sooner or later.

I'm calling Cunningham to start.... and score in a 3-1 loss

thanks for that. Live in a town called ossett which is in wakefield just next to leeds. Leeds united supporter too. 

The atmosphere and crowd looked good against WSW on sunday. Is that the normal crowd for home games or just with it being christmas?

We unreservedly apologise for Danny Hay.

slightly up in numbers - have ben averaging 7000 - 7500, Sunday was 8608.

Hoping for a bigger crowd on January 4th

Hi Jim I'm a Leeds supporter like you but based in Buckinghamshire.  Nix are playing far better then the Whites right now!!!  

Atmosphere at Nix games very similar to Elland Road except we don't get the knob heads who give Leeds fans a bit of a bad reputation.  That crowd was slightly bigger then normal but when the weather's good, the team can get quite a few more.

Us kiwi's only seem to support winning teams so when we've been under the kosh crowds drop to 5-6k.

Yes unfortunately the knobheads still turn up at ER. Hopefully i can persuade the missus to travel to new zealand next time england cricket are playing out there and i can take in a couple of phoenix games. Whats the expectations for the rest of this season?

Jim Smith? Now there was a decent enough Manager. The ol' Bald Eagle!

There was a Leeds supporter that was a regular at Kingz/Knights games, red-faced beefy barrel-type tyke with strong Yorkshire accent who drank vast quantities of lager at t'pub across the road from Nth Harbour stadium, who went back home just before the Knights went bust. Maybe you might run across him at ER if you shout out your Kiwi interest loud enough.

You're probably aware of this coverage, but have mentioned them just in case.

A-League on the Guardian : http://www.theguardian.com/football/a-league

Plus bbc sports has some coverage on the results, fixtures page, altho you have to change the options : http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live-scores

The Guardian is often better than NZ coverage/analysis of the A-League, beyond the Phoenix 

Thanks for that, wasnt aware of the coverage in the guardian. Just being using the a league and phoenix apps on my phone so far whilst watching the games on bt sport here. 

The Gaurdian's A League coverage is the best there is. Better than the Australian coverage.

It is the Guardian's Australian arm doing the A-League coverage, and it's just as good as their British-based stuff.
