Thought this was a very interesting (rugby) stat on the ratio of TV viewers to stadium attendees.

"We get the figures from NZR every couple of weeks, which give us the live TV audience, and Wellington are averaging around 75,000 per game. So we have this situation where 78,000 people are watching the game, but only 3000 are there [at Westpac Stadium]," said Potter.

It is and for some reason it is expected  there should be at least 10000 at every game we play .Given the history of support for the A league both here and previously in Auckland i dont get why they expect this number should be turning up.If the national game cant deliver those numbers on a regular how the hell can they expect a constantly under performing team to get them

We had an avarage of 10000 this season. It's very good for our metrics so far.
