Phoenix counting on more fans

16:44 pm on 15 March 2010

The Wellington Phoenix football club is hoping their succesful run in this season's A-League will see fans respond next season.

The Phoenix can claim to be the third best team in the league after they were beaten by Sydney in the preliminary final on Saturday night.

The club has had good support this summer, including getting 33 thousand to their last home-match... a play-off win over Newcastle.

Chief executive Tony Pignata is hoping they can improve on season tickets which were down this year....
