does the licence extension provide the impetus to relook at the stadium or do we read between the lines and assume Wellington City Council have said they'll drop the rent so that Wellnix can use that on players, building the national brand etc. I thought the Hutt Rec games showed the way forward in terms of improving the atmosphere and TV product.
Gallop was pretty vocal about building a national brand and this probably will help Wel Nix lift the average crowd numbers to $10k if they take games to AKL, Chch and Hamilton.
Great news, stark contrast to NZF. I just enjoy how calm Rob Morrison has been. This has rubbed off on Merrick. The organisation should be congratulated on not just achieving this BUT the manner in which they did this.
