I'm not asking why they got such a big crowd, because I know that, I'm just saying it killed me seeing the stadium full for them when it was empty for us all season.
And for the AFL. I feel the same. I would like to know how many came down from Auckland. Sounds like the warriors did 25 community events prior to the game. Vodafone would have done a shi*tload of marketing too.
Maybe Wellington doesn't care for football anymore :( averaging 6k is not going to work.
