Memorial Park, Masterton (my old home town). Boutique ground. Good playing surface I understand.
Jan 28th is a Saturday I see, so many Wellingtonians would make a road trip of it, even if an evening KO.
You'd need Metlink's help (which likely puts it in the too hard basket) to tinker with the Saturday train timetable, to make it work. But you might get 5,000 there.
But yes I imagine with logistics (TV setup etc), Jerry Collins stadium would make more sense if you were looking to keep the game in wider Welly region.
