18213 crowd.  NZF will be disappointed with that
This game should of been played in Wellington 
Why? There'd be even less of a crowd. 
18k for a friendly on a Tuesday night at 7pm is a decent turn out.

Also going to the two games in rectangular stadiums (GIO feels very similar to Mt Smart, AWs support were even seated in the same area) is a painful reminder of how much worse the Cake Tin is for fan experience. Of course if we wait for that problem to be solved we’ll never get international games, so we’ll just have to make the best of what we’ve got.

(It was nice though to hear one of the Port guys acknowledge that without a roof over their area we absolutely out-chant them at the away derbies.)
