I mean, if the Pasifika support exists, getting to Eden Park surely won’t be the problem?

If you live in Auckland you can get access to a car. There are roads and trains and buses between all parts of Auckland and Eden Park.

If this malarkey was being played at Craven Cottage and there was a shadow All Whites team playing Kiwis would pile in from all over.

The question is I guess what’s being done not to patronise supporters and create a carnival atmosphere which encourages everyone to stay beyond their games, get chatting to each other etc etc. Perhaps a few people selling Fiji bitter for $2.50 a couple of houses down in the break? $10+ beer would be mental.

Is anyone contacting potential supporters groups in the hubs?

Any time Krishna played at Eden Park we had good crowds.

Last year, Dan Hall paid a visit to Mangere FC to connect with Auckland's Fijian community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPoBMvD9o6M

If they are organised enough and the club surface there is good, Bula FC should hold an open training session there.

But I'm sure there will be a few Paskifa events held when the Island teams arrive in Auckland. For example Ahuuranui Tahiti is a Tahitian Arts School based in the 09.

I think it was the AWs verus Vanuatu game at the Tron last year, where a large group of RSE scheme workers turned up to support Kaltak and his mates.
