Just pointing out a few 'metrics' that show the ' Wellington isn't delivering crowds' line isn't quite as simplistic as its painted. In fact Wellington is being more supportive of the A League per capita than a lot of other places hosting clubs.It's just that we're being held to higher standards than everyone else. 

There's not a lot of rationality in this anti-nix movement from FFA and friends. We're a single non-burden club delivering another countries capital city with a direct population link to 400,000 people (and 4 million nationally) from a completely different but highly complementary (but not competing) market. The marketing and sponsorship reach is much greater than from adding a couple of clubs extra in the already crowded Sydney/Melbourne markets. Seems like a pretty good deal for the FFA really. Seems like everyones a winner - what's not to like.....
