Would have a massive impact on the Nix both good and bad.
Decent away support for one or two games a season.
Higher profile of the sport in NZ media
Initially a smaller pool of players to draw upon
Competition for sponsor dollars.
But our brand and sponsorships are already established so to speak, the club just need to keep on nuturing them. Perhaps Auckland could get sponsored by the Americas Cup Syndicate. Their leader (Dalton) is getting allegedly 2 mill a year alone so why not?
