It makes me mad to read more threats about moving the whole lot to Auckland when options in Wellington have been far from exhausted.
As has been mentioned, the promotion in Wellington is very average. I know when games are because I go looking, but math days and times are hardly drilled into the mind of the average person in the street. Also hardly ever any mention of price etc in any ads.
I was quite surprised by the Auckland crowd. I think the number shows that people there know the team is playing well and wanted to see them - yes there is promotion but people still have to respond to that. People in Wgtn for whatever reason aren't actually wanting to go along and watch the team, which I think is surprising.
