Before the game I was downtown and some kid yelled out "Hope the Nix win". I don't know if his parents and he were at the game but it was a positive and was great to hear.
Two days now and despite the result and I think about an earlier comment I made, if we have to have the teavelling circus, can we have 1 game in New Plymouth and 1 game in Napier.
Easy to travel to, within the Wellington region and fans from both areas regularly travel down to Wellies for games.
I quite like this idea. Game in Napier could be during U19s weekend, and New Plymouth on a long weekend. the problem with this is itd take time to build as a tradition which relies on the FFA to give us the fixture every season - which they do for some teams in australia, but doubt they would for us. Plus a late season game in Auckland to hopefully cash in with a big crowd if we are having a good season.
