History for Big Pete 65

I think it's odd that it's a closed door match yet being broadcast, surely if you play a game behind closed doors you don't want people watching. 

If your ok with people watching online/tv why not let us fans go?

I think it's because it costs more to allow spectators when you hire a ground because of paying for stadium security, ticket booths etc.
The Greek FA understandably don't consider NZ much of a draw.
Surely a few Greece supporters would have turned up though.
Cost cutting has been a feature of Greek football for years.
I remember that when Kosta had his season at Panathinaikos a decade ago, his club was in such dire financial straits that they couldn't afford to play night matches due to the cost of paying for floodlights and a vast unpaid electricity bill !
