Cheers Marto. But I'll make just one final point re Auckland "fair-weather" fans. If for the sake of argument the Nix's first two of seasons had given the Wellington public these results -

 (Knights 2005/6)                           P     W     D       L       F       A     Pts

                                                       21      1     3     17      15      47       6

and the following year, up until round 17 -

2006/7                                            17      2      3     12       7      38        9

by which time the club were a disgrace/laughing stock and the FFA had decided to pull the plug, just how many "foul-weather" Welly fans would still have been around going along to the ROF to cheer on new white knight Ricki in the club's final 4 games? Bugger all I'd say.

The last couple of seasons for the Nix haven't been that much better although I'd have to say the club is run exponetially better then the Knights ever were.
