Ok, so we know you hate the #Metrics and the games out of Wellington, you've made that quite clear on the forums. But please tell me what you would do? 

The owners were threaten with the Nix being kicked out of the league. They had an option given to them of trying to make it a NZ team and trying to increase membership and public support/TV viewership or possibly have no team. 

While I agree with you, I'd rather have all games in Wellington etc, overall I'd still rather have a team. I don't hate rugby or the All Blacks and enjoy watching the odd game, so if we can use it (ADIDAS is also the All Blacks sponsor) then why not. Just like I don't mind watching rugby, hopefully we can appeal to the rugby fans that don't mind watching a bit of football and will support a NZ team against the Aussies.

Some don't seem to understand the reality of the situation we're in. They bitch and moan about business decisions that HAVE to be made for the good of the club.

We have to make decisions, but they dont have to involve Black, which is piss poor by any standards. White would have made much more sense
