The proof will be if they ever actually come.
I find it interesting that YF was cited as a reason.
I think for most people buzz will make them come, I know people that went to the playoff against Mexico because they had heard so much talk about the playoff against Bahrain and didn't want to miss a repeat. If we get results people will start talking, and then people wont want to miss it.
I was disappointed to see that 3 news didn't have last nights game in the sports news. They had interviews with Burns, Brockie, and WeeMac during the week in the build up to the game so have no idea why they didn't show the results.
But they do. Every single game - on the Sunday. Can't really expect them to rehash the same goals and clips on Monday night, 26 hours after the game?
It's the first major news article immediately after the game though, surely the game on Sunday finished too late to have any news content.
