I should point out that, even if you don't think the YF should be antagonistic towards AKL fans, the AKL fans are being antagonistic towards you. The people those Facebook groups are gloating about buying away Kosta and our other stars, going to Eden Park on the 16th to cheer on Sydney, etc. There is a bitter rivalry coming, at least from one side.

Yeah but Dolaras you know those few on FB saying that, are a minority. A vocal minority maybe, but a minority all the same.

Hopefully a humourous, intelligent, well run Auckland supporter group will spring up to rival YF. With funny chants aimed at the Nix, excellent match day banter etc.

What the derby games and NZ football won't need, is nasty fan behaviour that could even escalate to violence. As the VUC game at the ROF showed there are idiots out there, with potential to make things ugly. When these derby games roll around the 2 clubs and the real fans, will need to be alert to stomping any of that dumb nasty shark out. The rugby media/fraternity for sure will gloat over anything like that. Like Melbourne's heavy AFL media did, when VUC & WSW fans ran amok in Melbs a  few years ago.

What I'm still trying to work out, if die hard Wellingtonians hating on the new Aucks side are just very worldy, well travelled folk seeking to bring a spicy touch of Boca verus River Plate or Partizan verus Red Star to little ole tranquil NZ. Or the opposite, those who think that going over the Rimutukas or Tararuas requires a passport that takes you to a post apocalyptic wasteland (eg Palmy), and Auckland well that might as well be Mars.

I'm edging toward the later scenario.
