When we started The Brief in early November, the aim was to engage busy professionals (you!) and get you to the games live in Wellington so the Phoenix can live for ever, we can have more mates to talk to, and we can get an even better atmosphere in the ground - that moment has arrived with the first games back in Wellington scheduled for this coming weekend - so, I am going, and you are all welcome to come along with me, ticket info below….
