If Adelaide can get 50k to see a final no reason why Auckland can’t - hell they sold 26000 shirts in their first year only and not every one attending will wear the kit.AucklandPhoenix wrote:There is no way and Aleague match is selling out Eden park - even the final!

Honestly think they would have sold out Eden Park for a final.
But it is understandable they need the real home ground advantage.
Even though AFC have been diabolical at home this year and are better away.
Eden Park can wait for Spurs.
Alas we will never know. If however they win, then the Spurs game will reach that level.
Even if it’s to watch their kids.
Exactly, the past week and a half really has shown quite the smugness of our fanbase. Articles left right and centre on the Wahinix, yet nothing in comparison for the AFC men (who have a better chance of winning the GF compared to the women), pissed off that the GF sold out so quickly and comparing EP seats to it.
This actually works if we had actually won something in our history but it comes off as bitter and sad.
That post about the AFC invitational team aged well didn't it?
Our fanbase do have to remember that if it wasn't for the fact that Auckland originally had an A-League team, we wouldn't exist and for all the hate Bill Foley got, the original Nix owner was probably worse.
