There was a question asked on Radio Sport tonight - would Westpac have been filled at "All Black ticket pricing".
I am not sure about that one. I probably would have been put off by $80-90 ticket pricing and could have missed a great night.
Of course it might not have been so great if only 10,000 had turned up.
Just a couple of quick questions guys:
1.) Does anyone have a video to the national anthems being played
yesterday? Would have liked to see the New Zealand being played.
2.) Was "Slice of Heaven" played at Westpac Stadium after the match?
1. Sorry I was "upstanding" and not recording. If you hadn't heard, there was only one verse of the anthem played (instrumental of course), and some confusion as to which verse was to be sung. Myself, I sang the Maori expecting a reprise that didn't come.
2. Didn't hear it at all and I stayed for quite a while after the final whistle/victory lap. I did however hear the "Westpac Stadium" song and advertisement played - I was like WTF? Why are there scenes of Super 14 Rugby on the big screen when we've just qualified for the FIFA World Cup??
