Had to pop back to comment. A team like TW, the way they're playing at the moment, deserve a much bigger crowd than a couple of hundred. Where are all Wellington's so-called football fans? This is a bloody exciting local team, probably the best you've had. They are giving ACFC a run for their money, and City have just drawn 0-0 with the full Uzbekistan side who beat the All Whites 3-0.
Why wasn't 600-800 packing that little ground to watch TW play the O League champs? That's what we get at Kiwitea usually. Is Dave Farrington Park not a good location? Is TW too identified with Miramar now for local prejudices? Or could it be because of a certain Australian team.
I certainly hope TW attracts more local interest when it plays in the O League.
So Auckland get twice the crowd with over 3 times the population.
Good one.
