Also given that AFC is the first NZ team to host a GF, doesn't suprise me about the demand.

It’s nuts.
Auckland transport ought to be able to put on special train or bus services.
And it’s at the weekend. Have it at a time that’s going to be good for football. 6:30, latest. If it’s wet and cold, goes to extra time, and there’s 3 thousand people looking for a spot on a bus for 30, that’s ludicrous for a plywood has a rail connection.
What do they doing it’s in Perth? Make them play at the heat of midday or something so it can screen in Sydney?
Get over the start time, as someone said it's an Australian comp, we are lucky to have two teams in there for starters.

Lachie Bayliss in the reserves. Devenish-Meares named skipper.
D-M was absolutely huge for SFC against the Jets. I think he's playing better than even Paulsen was his last two ALM seasons Nix & AFC.
Devenish a big obstacle to Auckland winning the GF.

Sydney goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares was named captain of the side after receiving the most votes from fellow professionals.
“Just being part of the professional football community in Australia means the world to me, so to be named captain of the Team of the Season feels very humbling and honestly quite surreal,” Devenish-Meares said.
“To be recognised by my peers in this way is something I’m incredibly grateful for.”
Newcastle coach Mark Milligan was voted coach of the season after guiding the Jets to two trophies in his first year in charge.
