Tell me what does this achieve?
Tell me who will support it?
Tell me that this solves a problem that was exisiting.
If this is about ISPS, well we have 3 teams and the amount of players that opt OUT for ISPS is great enough that one team is playing kids. Adding another team trying to get in wont work. Why can't they do it on their own? What synergies do they get for this by combining?
If this is about HAL, Aucklanders have already shown they wont support it. They will support one off games but look at rugby and league and pretty much any other sport outside of T20. Aucklanders do not support teams that do not win or have a specific draw card because they hate traveling, parking and paying high prices for shark food when its on TV.
How many Americas Cup fans and experts were there when Barker lost. We are a nation of band wagoners and I don't see this venture working/winning anything.
