Of the 20 plus Chatham Cup Finals I've been to that would be right up there with the ChCH United v Mt Wgtn 4-4 draw at that Basin in 1972 in terms of drama , excitement ,etc.

I wonder if it might have opened Martins eyes about club v franchise football. Even allowing for short historys etc of the franchises I don't see a final between two franchises getting 4 K . Best NZFC/ASB Premiership Final crowd maybe 2 K ?

Well done to both clubs - particularly Waitak - I never knew they had so many fans (although maybe I judging them by their alter ego Waitak United)

Was a great turn out.

I have travelled up from Christchurch to many Cup Finals over the years at various locations, Nelson, the Basin Reserve, Newton Park, Park Island and Albany, but could not make it this year.

What would have been the turn out if it was two Aucklands clubs south of the Harbour Bridge as always suprised me when some Aucklanders felt Albany was too hard to get too, lack of parking etc.
