But the business case doesn't stack up.  If you make it a regular event then the novelty value is gone and those crowds will return to Wellington sized crowds.  As already stated, Christchurch dropped of 5k between two games, Dunedin 10k.

Every chance this will cost more money (travel, accomadation, venues) and alienate the fan base they have.  There is highly unlikely to be any win in this for them.


so so this, what part of novelty is lost on the wel nix crowd? The 20,000 at chch, auckland ect are simply cos it's one game a season, not two or three.
Would also be very interesting to find out how many freebies and cheap tickets  were given away.Because if some of the stories i have heard from friends are true.Then maybe if the same things  were put in place for us down here just maybe we also would have increased numbers.
