Wellington Phoenix well travelled, less rested ahead of Newcastle Jets clash ANDREW VOERMANCHRIS SYMES/PHOTOSPORT The Wellington Phoenix have had a busy travel schedule over the past week. The Wellington Phoenix face a big test in tough circumstances on Thursday night, at least as far as travel and rest are concerned. Ahead of Thursday's game [kickoff 9.50pm NZT], the Phoenix sit sixth on the ladder, in the final playoff spot, eight points clear of the Jets in seventh. If the Phoenix lose, however, the gap would be down to five points, and a playoff race would be on. If they win on Thursday and cement themselves in the top six, you can bet he'll be prouder still.
