Good question - here is another one.
Why is it that every final has to be played in Auckland where the locals don't really care about watching the game live.
An Auckland team v a Wellington team - why not play it half way - Taupo or dare I suggest, Napier.
Mind you, if NZF had to run a game out of Auckland, they may have to put some effort in.
Isn't the final hosted by the team who finishes highest in the regular season?
Perhaps Wellington could win the league if they fancy hosting it.
Imagine a Team Wellington vs Canterbury final played out in front of 12 people...
