We went to the league last year at Eden Park and my wife wanted a wine with her friends before we went up in Kingsland. It was extremely busy up there. One would think that why would you discount your booze when there are so many people about that will come in and pay full price.
Well, the bar that I was thinking of did agree to discount the beers, so, they obviously think it's worth it. It's not in Kingsland though. Still think it would be better to occupy a pub that's 5 minutes walk away rather than brave the Auckland public transport system. But, clearly other plans are afoot, so no big deal.
