To be fair to the club, the context is that they are still hoping to play that game at the new Te Kaha stadium. The only possible ALM window to do that is weekend 17th-19th April.
Yes it's now been moved to the Addington scaffolding, but they will still be crossing fingers construction proceeds faster than forecast with Te Kaha.
If the Nix are the first ever sports event at the shiny new ground, it will be a sizeable turnout.
I mean the numbers ain't exactly flocking to the ROF right now, so the Welnix bean counters will be hoping that there will be at least 3 'home' crowds north of 10K (home derbies x2 plus ChCh), to help the coffers.
But yeah as others have opined it will especially suck if a club legend like Rufer moves on, and the Nix don't get a home playoff. Need to finish 4th or better to guarantee a home playoff game.
A special Roofs 'testimonial' farewell type fixture hosting South Island United or someone??
