Here's another teaser: If the club is dead set on taking three or more home games away each season, what would be the possibility of it also organising charter flights at cost-price for Wellington-based season ticket holders?
Possibly not enough planes to add to the crowds but would help said fans to feel a bit more like the club wasn't taking them for granted.
I was wondering about that as well. Fly up and back on the same day ? AirNZ have $29 fares going back to Wellington last flight - wonder how much a charter would be
We did that last year: Fly up the night before, crash at the (extended) whanau's whare, fly back straight after the game. $180 for three of us.
Previous year we got normal cheap tickets (four of us) and used flybuys for the motel.
I will budget for at least one game away but this year the timing for all three was not helpful - school hols is best if you're reading David Dome.
Enjoyed both trips to dorkland but would be neat to do a Nix/fever charter flight if the expense was reasonable.
