Don’t want to head into the sensitive area of attendances but it is important for the Auckland team.
Be very interesting to see what they can do this coming match. It’s a Sunday which my gut makes it a lot less attractive for an Aucklander.
People came last week and I daresay many of the same will be planning to attend the Phoenix match the following home game.
So first real game without the novelty factor or derby which you would expect to crack 20k
So this game may truely be a litmus test.
I’m thinking they will be happy with anything north of 10k for this one.
Anything less than 8k, then it’s a little bit worrying

Unless the weather is awful hard to see them going from 24K to sub 10K.
Looks like everyone had a fun day out, and Sydney are maybe the biggest drawcard team outside the Nix.
Foley & Mowbray-Williams will be keeping an eye on the crowds. They start to drop off in a big way, that motivation for the new Westerrn Springs stadium will only get stronger.
Weather across the country on sunday is wet, so it will be interesting to see what crowds show up. Only second week so the novelty is still there, plus the power of foley and his marketing machine. But the typical fair weather kiwi ethos will hit the attendances.
