Yeah it's 39,000 roughly. We have to fit 40,000 for the Rugby WC quarter finals so it is possible. The one issue with the temp seating is that the seats are on the pitch - that's fine for your mellow rugby supporter but it spells pitch invasion for a football match.
Fuck this stupid game

Email addresses are often easy to guess, if not find. TV3 is owned by Mediaworks. Mediaworks CEO is Brent Impey, so try brent.impey@tv3.co.nz or brent.impey@mediaworks.co.nz, or just use their general email, replies@tv3.co.nz.
For TVNZ, there is a generic news@tvnz.co.nz. Rick Ellis is the CEO, try the same trick with the email address: odds on it is rick.ellis@tvnz.co.nz.
The Broadcasting Minister is Johnathon Coleman, his email address is j.coleman@ministers.govt.nz, but you'll do better emailing Brendon Burns since the opposition is more likely to kick up a fuss, Brendon Burns is the Broadcasting spokesperson (brendon.burns@parliament.govt.nz).
Sports minister Murry McCully is at m.mccully@ministers.govt.nz and the opposition spokesperson is Chris Hipkins chris.hipkins@parliament.govt.nz
My suggested list is:
m.mccully@ministers.govt.nz
I'd also suggest emailing them one at a time, and try to personalise it - why you think they should care. The spam issue is irrelevant here, you're not sending unsolicited emails getting them to click on dodgy links.
I think that it was appalling, and might give a few of them a rark up (I watched both channels on Saturday and saw what was covered, the football was mentioned at the end among a list of things the Sports anchor could watch, on tv3 news, and there was nothing at all on TV1).
It's a given that coverage will be much better for the home leg. No reporter there makes them look bad, so they try to pretend that it is not happening (of course after the game there is plenty of footage they can use to cover for the fact they they sent no one.
But that is the issue - they didn't send a reporter, and didn't want to cover it because of that.
I've just fired of 2 hand-crafted emails to add to the more emotional one i sent yesterday.
Quite therapeautic really :) luckily i didn't have to attempt 'therapeautic' in the email ;)

The ChCh Press had half the Front Page and Entire Back Page & Inside Back Page dedicated to Sunday's game - top effort.
Never used to rate Tony Smith - usually writes about Rugby and is appalling but knows more about roundball - has been excellent so well done.

Interesting that lead item on TV1 sport was Luke McAllisters ankle injury. Ricki returning home with some of the players was 4th story.
I didn't even get to see Luke's ankle.
Ricki was unusually fired up and very positive about the 14th.
Any way we can prevent Ryan playing in UK until then?

Ha, the All Blacks are a figment of my imagination. I haven't seen them on terrestrial tv for 20 years. So frankly I don't give a hoot about Luke McAllisters ankle. Honestly this is back flap journalism, publishing anything the rugby admin spouts.

I have heard this said before. Even if it's true it's not his job to put stories to air is it?
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

FYI When NZ Football had there money woes (lost $600,000) they made staff cuts and it meant cutting two media/pr staff down to one. Still, it is snot a media/pr person's job to find footage (there are always rights issues) for TV networks - set up a media opp yes, arrange interviews yes but give them everything on a plate - no. You can lead the media to the water but it doesn't necessarily mean they drink - trust me, I've worked on both sides of the fence.

CGW magnificent again tonight - sent James McOnie to the airport to meet the players - quotes from Bertos, Siggy and some footy action in the baggage claim area - excellent.
TV3 - also had coverage of the players arriving back - quotes from Paston, Turner and Vicelich.
TV1 - nothing

Anyone know who the Prime TV CEO is? Used to be Chris Taylor but not sure if it still is.
I think they deserve some positive feedback.
Anyone got an email address for Brent Harman?

On CGW they are always joking round that John Fellet ought to keep them on for another year in 2010... as a Sky-owned channel I guess he's the big head honcho but I presume Prime would have someone in charge of their more specific operations.

I realise Chris Rattue lives to wind people up but his article today suggests how little he gets it. Says we should remember that we will get smashed at the World Cup if we get there and this is what we should focus on. Grrrrrr, he just doesn't get it. Very frustrating

The prospect of getting smashed doesn't stop Japan, Romania and the USA from trying to get to the RWC. Or the Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland from trying to qualify for the Cricket WC. Numpty.

I didn't think he was that out of order.
He didn't say that we shouldn't try, just that we might get humped if we succeed. Which is true.

It is true but on that basis we'd be looking at:
Jag2009-10-14 12:55:54
World Cup - Only about 6 or 8 teams to qualify
Rugby World Cup - 3 teams
Rugby League WC - 2 teams

I just sent an email off to Chris. Here it is:
Hi Chris,
First of all i would like to say it is great to see more media coverage being given to football in the lead up to the 2nd Leg in November following our fantastic 0-0 draw in Bahrain on the weekend. However i have some objections with this particular article.
I think the All Whites already know they will be up against it in South Africa should they make it. We the fans know this too. This doesn't mean we should wish upon them not making it. Have you stopped to consider the benefits such a qualification could have on the sport in this country? Do you remember the support and interest the 82 qualification had on the sport? I guarantee it would be bigger and better this time round, due largely to the various types of media outlets that exist today. We should support them 100% all the way, and articles like this are the complete opposite of such support.
Let's be positive Chris. The All Whites deserve our loyal backing and support. As a downtrodden and often oppressed minority sport in this country they deserve their time in the sun without any negative vibes surrounding them.
Cheers
(name here)Three for me, and two for them.

It's not terrible at all Bucks. It's negative, sure, but in a lot of places he's absolutely right.

I know it's not true but sometimes it's as if the NZRFU must be paying media outfits to give Football bugger all coverage on the news and in the headlines and bag it when possible. As if they are scared that it is going to catch up and over throw them which hopefully it does one day. I know this is a Rugby nation but it would be great to see Football have its turn in the spot light. This is the bloody World cup. Another thing i saw which annoys me but has little relevance is yesterdays Hutt news saying more youth play Rugby in the Hutt valley area than Football. What a load of Crap!!!

nope - its terrible
1.) portrays the result in Manama as the luckiest, flukiest result of all time - and says they "should have crushed us".
2.) then talks about Bahrain as if they are terrible - from the Middle East's "football backwaters". Actually, they qualified as the top side from the Middle East. and were 5th in asia last time around as well.
3.) ok, am an hardly objective, but he portrays Elliott as past it and not up to the World Cup - even though he was comfortably our best player in south africa at confed (other than moss) and in fact showed he was one of only a few that could perform respectably against quality international sides
4.) i think mcglinchey did well and should probably start in welly, but come on, rattue has probably only watched him played 20 mins of football ever - and he's sooo much better than anyone else.
5.) he reckons bahrain lookes far more worthy world cup finalists. p!ss off. one game, in their back yard, it was a draw. they've proven nothing yet.
6.) yes, obsesses over how we will get thrashed in SA - importantly, with the suggestion that maybe we shouldnt want to be there. ridiculous and, yes, missing the point.
to me, it smelt of somebody who knows f all about the game and never watches it

Must be including touch surely. I have a reasonable snapshot of a standard Hutt primary school and know about 10x the number of footballers than Rugby players.
Having said that some of the football players play some summer touch because they can.

I think you took offence at the slight on your friend and that is clouding the rest of your review.
We were competitive in Bahrain. They were better than us. "Should have crushed us" might be overstating the case, but they did miss at least two gilt-edged chances to score. We had the one real opportunity, when Chris Wood was offside.
Agree with you insofar as Elliot was our best Confed Cup player. However he was anonymous in Bahrain and the article makes a fair contrast between him/Brown and McGlinchy. I think you'd struggle to find anyone who thinks McGlinchy should not start in Wellington. So the masses are with Rattue on that one, regardless of how much of him he's watched.
You tie yourself in a knot with 2. and 5. You can't on the one hand say "the All Whites are performing credibly because Bahrain are the top middle eastern team" and then in the next breath say "they've proven nothing yet, it's only one game". Certainly over the course of the past couple of years Bahrain are probably much worthier World Cup finalists than we are. That's inarguable.
All he's written is a mild counterpoint to the "wasn't it wonderful" view that has otherwise been out there. To me it's a credible view, even if it's a bit negative.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
