But would Aucklanders show up like that every home game of a season. Let's not get too carried away. Having said that, we could use the local derby argument on the A League. And I'd love to see it happen. Wellington Phoenix v the Auckland Albion.
Nah, no Auckland A League team would ever average 23-24K per game, but 10-15K per game definitely achieveable. Auckland has a bigger football fan base than Welly. As long as home ground is centralish to Auckland, and the team is not a basket case. As Doloras notes forming a supporter group like YF, would also be hugely important. Dome sings YF praises for helping the Nix survive, in his elongated 18 page interview with Andrew Voerman, that AV has posted up here somewhere.
Again lets not forget last night was 2nd verus 6th. Lots of good press about the Nix, this season, which is as much about them not being a basketcase currently, than any hope to win the league.
