my rant on bootstrapping hasn't stopped yet...
the last 2 chatham cup finals has seen a whole bunch of NZF board and staff turn up in both Wellington and Christchurch for no apparent reason other than jumping on a donut.
totally unnecessary, especially when you consider that the gate takings from the relatively small crowds probably would have only covered this donut and none of the actual event costs, let alone the tele coverage that didn't happen (outside CTV)
therefore, a whole heaps of mugs paid good cash to watch these games in order to subsidise frank and his mates being flown down to watch
