If I was living in Japan and Michael Fitzgerald was a regular starter at Kawasaki Frontale - that is definitely the J League team I'd follow, and pay to watch. I'm sure Honda's signing for Victory, has massively increased the number of Japanese fans attending their games. If the Nix want to tap into the Wellington Korean expat community, sign a player from the K League.

Uh.. Krishna's Fijian. 

Uh....is he not Fijian Indian?

Who similar to people of an Indian immigrant background in much of the world, keep many of their Indian traditions and celebrations alive. Like Diwali.

I note his wedding was a four day affair. Reported as mixed cultural. Not sure what that means. His wife definitely of Fijian Indian descent.

I imagine you could call Sapreet a Kiwi Indian.

Do the Nix, ever try and link Chinese NY celebrations into a game? They should

Yeah, he's Fijian Indian - sure they speak a similar dialect - but that doesn't mean people from India will identify with him. 

That's like saying we're supportive of England because we were colonized at one point or Austalia because they're out neighbours. 

Sarpreet's parents are both from India - so I can see the comparison there.

I've met a few Fijian Indians. They identify with India to a degree, and certainly keep the customs and holidays from India (Hindi, Muslim etc) alive. They all know what part of the subcontinent their descendants immigrated from.

India never colonized Fiji and the Australia comparison, I just don't get.

Basically all I'm saying is that a person of Indian background living in NZ, may have more interest in Roy Krishna than other players in the Nix squad - with the obvious exception of Sapreet.
