Auckland A-League football team in 2024

[Cyclops]

Seen some speculation that they've got 14 players signed and are planning to slowly announce names over the next few weeks.

Howieson was a perennial subject of phoenix rumours and speculation, so looking forward to seeing how he goes in the a league.

No Aussies or imports yet, so probably saving them for last. Corica will be tapping into the Sydney football market.

Enjoyed that, haven't really followed the A League since the Knights folded in 2007.

Nice to have a local team to support.

@African-Monkey I'm not a football guy but even I might follow them. Especially since they play in Ponsonby Rugby colors!

Must've been a lot of unused freebies in that 'sold out' crowd.

Great to see Akl back in the A League but it was a hard watch at times. Pretty low standard of football.

[Bovidae]

I'll still support the Phoenix.

The A League must be no stronger than the English 3rd division

I haven't watched much A League TBH but I would say Saturday's game was mid League 2 standard. Maybe the top sides would be League 1 I can't really comment - but hey the Fern....

Yeah, would compare it to league 1. I went to a league 1 game earlier in the season (Charlton v Leyton Orient), it was probably the same standard style wise, maybe slightly better than that but not much better.

Mid league 2 standard is a lot worse than that haha.

A late late winner leaves us 2 from 2 and top of the league!

Up the port!

I loved the Phoenix's fly-by sign over Mt Smart.

Created by all 3000 Phoenix fans. Fair play.

@African-Monkey Says the club full of bandwagon jumpers see how much of a crowd they get towards the end of the season be like the Knights and get 500 a game if lucky. The Nix average at least 6000 a game.
