Yeah this just shows up the absolutely unfair farce that is the 'metric' - here's Sydney with a population well over 10x that of Wellington and they can barely scrape above 10k even with what amounts to one of the much vaunted derbies (with CCM area just up the coast.... so they get away fans as well). 

No one at the FFA or in Australia cares about per capita stats, and nor should they. Crowds of only 5,000 don't impress them & fair enough.

They have given the Nix a licence allocated to NZ. They would agrue that if your biggest crowds are in Auckland, well just move the team there.

Numbers in Wellington have improved this season, which is great and hopefully they are strong for final few home games. Obviously a home final would be great for the metrics.
