One thing about Perth from an historical sense anyway Is that Perth always for some reason play well at AAMI Park.

I know double headers are becoming the norm and I love that for the league but, I was just pointing out that it was the first ever Nix one in the A-Leagues - that's why it was 'huge'

Haha sorry didn’t mean the reply to be a “so what! So have we” rebuke.

When does this border crap end with NZ? Why do the "Nix have to play so many "home" games in the "Gong?

Hmmm probably in the next 2-3 years .....

 

[gaskin]

I reckon that one is more on the NZ Government than ours. Scumo has been all about opening borders.

 

[Andonis1997]

Was hoping for January, but if teams want to come across they need to quarantine for 7 days No exceptions just yet... Yay.

I'll be very surprised if they get more than 2 or 3 home games in the 21/22 season.

That's a shame for the Nix fans and for NZL football in general the momentum the club was on toward the end of last season when they returned home was huge! That may all be lost now especially if the Nix struggle on field. Must also be difficult for the players. Are the families allowed to come across?

 

[acm21]

I think travel has been knocked back until march or something like that, I think they might have a run over games over a 4-6 week period at the end of the season.

Not sure about the families mate. You'd think some would be here.

Surprised more hasn't been made of the Hemed push in the lead up to the 1st goal.

Harper is brutal to listen to.

Diamanti is a treat to watch.
