I seriously doubt that would happen. Fraser Park is not as central or as easy to get to as the ROF, for the overall Wellington Region.

18 seasons show the club's locked on supporter base is in that 5,000-8,000 range. I don't think a new (maybe budget open modular design) stadium in the Hutt is going to change that.

There were the 3 games at the Hutt Wreck in 2015. Did the crowds grow in size over those 3 matches? I remember there was one, where the wind was pretty ferocious.

This idea all seems about saving on the high lease costs of playing at the ROF, and secondary to that providing a more intimate game day experience. But I seriously doubt the average crowds would grow from what they are now. Welly's population is barely growing, and regulary attending live sport every fortnight with each passing year is becoming less of a thing.

The Roar moved to suburban Redcliffe (about 40 min drive north of the Brissy CBD) for a few seasons. Can't have made much long term difference to their financial situation, or attendances. They are now back at cavernous 50,000 capacity central city Suncorp.
