Maybe you Akld City lot can get your massive supporter base along to the AW game tonight so Akld won't be an embarrassment

Didn't Auckland have the biggest attendance at a Phoenix game last season by some margin? Just pointing out a fact by the way.

Um this is a crap argument both ways.

When the AWs, Nix, Knights and Kingz play/ed in Auckland there has been a hefty ring-in from us Waikato and BoP boys (Northland too I'd say). I'm also aware of die-hard fans from HB, Taranaki, Welli and even the South Island regularly going to Kingz and Knights games in Auckland.

Aucklander's have always been crap when it come to watching football on a regular basis at any level that's not at the end of their street, be it the Northern League, National League, NZFC/ASBP, NSL and A-League but have turned out in force when things like the U17 WC and '97 WC qualifiers were on.

BUT

The sell out crowds in Wellington have been for important Nix and AW play-off games where we all know that die-hards and casuals from all over NZ, Aus and even further afield have turned out in force and yet have likewise had dire crowds for AW Oceania Nation's Cup games.

Its a bit of a case of comparing apples with oranges. The Cantabs seem be be strong followers from what little of seen.
