That is enough to progress I'm told. Good news.

Yes!!! Now for an exciting home and away against Fiji's Ba. Last time the Fijian side played in Auckland they attracted a couple of thousand local supporters so expect compact Kiwitea Street to be packed to the rafters for the home game. Might even have to consider shifting the game to Trusts Stadium if the crowd's going to exceed Kiwitea's 3,000 odd capacity.

I'm not sure I understand this so please help me out.

1: it was an issue to play your game against Dragon at the The Trusts and as was said, losing the Kiwitea Street advantage was a reason you cited for that loss so why would you be so quick to suggest it again in a crucial game?

2: It's your home game. Having seen the Ba game at Waitakere and the size of that crowd, the only thing a larger crowd is going to do is be full of their supporters effectively turning it into an away game so why play into that?

Your best bet is Kiwitea street and then put up the full house sign once done because its not like the club needs the money and the extra bods in revenue vs the cost the of operating Mt Smart... You'll have that atmosphere and it wont make it entirely 'their' crowd. This is meant to be your home game, not theirs.

Good lord I agree ...if Ba supporters want to come , let them turn up early : otherwise ....sorry lads ...all full up ....u really would have to be a mug to agree to playing at Mt Smart ..unless of course the cash incentives are overwhelming...

 

NB ACFC still has the game at Kiwitea...hopefully thats right..
