It's the four cities thing. Auckland's not one place. South Auckland/Isthmus/Westies/North Shore are all separate entities really.
London's the same, North/South/West/East etc. Ask a Londoner to go from Zone 3 to Zone 5 or across the city for something and they'll act like you asked them to cross an ice flow.
Ask most Aucklanders to go to the Shore and it's the same. Parking at Mt Smart is dreaaaadful and there's very few pre-match places. QBE is vaguely better, but Eden Park has the transport and the amenities. It's still too bloody big for anything but the AB's though.
This means that Auckland should never have a club in A-League.
Auckland should have two clubs in A-League, like any city this size, with these transport problems.
