As I say i didn't expect any different and I know fiscal resources are limited, but if ever there was an opportunity this was it and yet again failure results. Sometimes in order to create success and good feeling around a sports team, you need to take risks to try and get the best outcome and i think this was the risk to take.
Diappointed, although not overly suprised, by the lack of publicity about the nix game on Wednesday night. This was a real chance for Otago bring some new people to Otago U under the lure of the nix and then with 4 out of the last five games at home (incl the saturday after) try and, with a good product presented, attract some new fans. Ie put some ads in the paper, get ads on Radio Sport/ Newstalk ZB try and get some positive feeling. But by the looks of it there'll be a preview in the paper on Wednesday and nothing else, with the same 200 or so United fans who have been putting themselves through it every week for the last few seasons.
