[edit] Former Players

The players in/out list could be changed to former players. Steven O'Dor also needs to be listed there.

[edit] Biggest loss

I'm not so sure that the LA Galaxy game should be down as a record defeat. I can't think of any other football record that would have friendly or exhibition scores down. If we follow this then surely Phoenix's record win is the NINE that they put by a team in a pre-season match? Dairyflat (talk) 03:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Creation

I was holding off on creating this article because not much is yet known about the club. It still hasn't been confirmed that it will be named "Wellington" or where it will play (the cake tin is a assumption, although 99% likely one). We should get citations for the statements made. -- Chuq 11:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I will reference it tomorrow afternoon, hopefully. Daniel Bryant 11:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now it has a real name, I trust the user who created the article (with a name that was always going to be temporary) will go and fix all the links to the old ones ... (it shouldn't be too bad, I think most of them are transclusions of {{AUS fb A-League}} which will refresh themselves as the pages get touched anyway) -- Chuq 14:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

There was only a few of these and I have taken care of them :) (Not that I created this page BTW) Tancred 08:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
One of the Phoenix's nicknames is 'The Nix'? What a strange nickname. Also, 'Welly'? Who made these nicknames? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.109.215.34 (talk • contribs) 16:24, August 6, 2007.
'nix', short for phoenix. 'welly' short for wellington. they're not that strange surely? Dibo T | C 06:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
nix makes sense, but Welly? I know of no Wellington team ever called Welly. Yomcat 18:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Logo

The FFA forced the Phoenix to change their logo to fit in with the FFA's logo criteria. Here's the new one: http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/news-images/main-white_embossed_phoenix.gif Bongomanrae 23:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Is the old one still around somewhere? Just curious to see it... BroadArrow 08:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but it was the same one as now but with wider wings. -CipherPixel —Preceding unsigned comment added by CipherPixel (talk • contribs) 02:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Player pictures

Does anyone have any connections at the club? Perhaps we could ask for some player pictures to be released into public domain so we could add them to the player profile pages? BroadArrow 20:25, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conor Stares

Who is he, and how did he get #16? He's not on the Phoenix page - http://www.wellingtonphoenix.com/default.aspx?s=wellfc_playerprofile Yomcat 23:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

Welly is a nickname used for the Phoenix, and the town of Wellington. Similar to Wellington boots being called Wellies. Search Google for "Wellington Phoenix" and Welly and you get plenty of results showing people using Welly to refer to the Phoenix. And I do it myself, for good measure. So I'm putting it back in. Dibo T | C 01:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

So I can add in Tards, Bling, Salty Dogs etc.? That Google link is useless. Most people are referring to the city, not the team. Yomcat 06:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you've tried with little success to rally support from the yellow fever on this one, but Welly is a legitimate nickname, and unlike the others it's not intended in a derogatory fashion. I'm not a kiwi, but I gather that Welly is a pretty common nickname for both the city and the team. Dibo T | C 05:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Welly is NOT a nickname used for Phoenix. You've been misinformed. Since the club's inception I have never once heard, or seen, the word Welly used in reference to it. Dairyflat (talk) 09:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I live in Wellington, and have been to ever one of Phoenix's home game. Welly is not a nickname used for the team. -CipherPixel 30th April —Preceding comment was added at 02:35, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stripes

Wellington must play in stripes. Get rid of Reebok. --202.47.49.231 (talk) 03:27, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former team in current team list

Irrelevant really? Has got nothing to do with the "current squad" CipherPixel (talk) 06:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
