BM makes a totally relevant point. Why do 25 times as many people turn up for a team who play in an Australian league over a league in NZ. ACFC have a 100% win record against A-League opposition and now TW beat ACFC 4-0.
What more evidence do the public/media need to suggest that the ASBP is a long way from being crap.
I'm not sure it is that relevant a point. He is basically having a go at Wellingtonians for not going out and supporting TW. Some of the queries he raises are probably fair enough, but to blame it on the 'Australian league' or 'Australian team' doesn't make sense.
Do we berate Aucklanders for supporting the Warriors but not the Akarana Falcons in the domestic Rugby League comp, or perhaps the Breakers but not the Super City Rangers (given that the Auckland Stars/Pirates have pulled out for financial reasons)? You could make the argument that the Falcons play in the 3rd best domestic Rugby League comp in the world, but that doesn't seem to draw the punters.
I'm sure we'd all love for the TW attendances to be better but I don't think you can say it is the Nix's fault. I have only started going to TW games this year and probably wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for the fact I'm a Nix fan.
By the way, great result for ACFC.
