Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium will host a Wellington Phoenix match again next season, it was confirmed today.
The game, against Melbourne Heart on March 3, is one of only two home games the A-League club will play away from Westpac Stadium next season. The other clash, against Perth Glory, will take place at Eden Park.
In the 2012/13 season draw released today, the Phoenix have been handed a 14 home, 13 away match split in the 27-round regular season.
The season features 10 teams again with the addition of the Western Sydney franchise and a revamped finals series.
The Phoenix will play nine of their 14 home fixtures on a Sunday afternoon - eight in Wellington and the one in Dunedin - with four Saturday evening matches - including the Auckland fixture - and one on a Thursday night, two days after Christmas Day.
They open the season with a home match against Sydney FC on Saturday, October 6.
The Phoenix have received a mixed reception in Dunedin; their first match, a pre-season hitout against Brisbane, drew 15,000 fans, but only 4000 turned out for a regular season clash against the same opposition.
