it's not like the clubrooms are ACFC-sized,
I'd say the clubrooms in Cambridge were bigger than ACFC.
Hmmm from my experiences I don't think I agree, but neither of us can prove that statement without any measurements and that'd be a waste of time so I'll leave it at that. I do think Auckland have more seating and the likes available which is important, but to be honest I never stick around to see how full it gets in there, unlike at ACFC when it is often packed out, so I'm not the best judge.
ACFC is usually packed out with standing room only. When I went into the Cambridge clubrooms after the game we got a seat straight away and I think there were more available seats so it definitely was not a seating/space issue.
Yes but what that because people knew they weren't allowed in there? I honestly don't know.
On a related note, the crowd was bigger than I expected, considering the fact that some people would have decided to go to the cricket instead, the volunteers at Cambridge have managed to get a decent crowd and decent facilities going which is a credit to them when you look at what was there when they decided to make the switch, huge difference.
