Interestingly I think I've spent more time in the big Australian cities than Auckland. I have no reason to go there apart from the odd concert or just passing through as I fly somewhere else, but I used to travel a lot to Australia for work. 

I know a lot of people who are pretty similar, and that's because Wellington companies often have Auckland offices to serve the local market, but fly people out to work with Australian clients.

So it's not even animosity to Auckland, it's just not a place that I think about. The last time I went there was for a funeral probably three years ago (I stopped regularly going when they stopped having the big day out) I'll be heading up shortly to see Mr Bungle and that will be the first time since then. We call it a Derby but the reality is it's a long way away.

The interest that I have in the team is primarily what it will do for Wellington Phoenix and NZ football as a side effect. So, I can perfectly see where people are coming from. Auckland isn't as loved or as hated as Doloras would have you believe, a lot of people are just indifferent.

Just because you can't understand other peoples views, doesn't mean those views aren't valid.
