And as an aside. I went to the Harlem Globetrotters thing on Monday night. 7.30pm start (it actually started a bit after that), 9.45pm finish. TSB arena about 80-85% full (guessing around 3,000 people). An absolute army of kids attending, some of them as young as 3-years old. And hundreds of them stayed courtside to get the autographs well after I left the Arena around quarter to ten.
So excuse my scepticism that no family in Wellington would ever even entertain the idea of attending a football game kicking off at 7pm on a Sunday in the middle of summer holidays.
One off opportunity to see the Harlem Globetrotters though. It would be like if Manchester United played an exhibition game at the stadium at 7pm on a Sunday. It would still sell out.
