We'll still need a crowd for next week's home game against the Wanderers. If we can't get a good one in Wellington for that, then when will we? What would be considered 'good'  in this context, 15,000?

7pm on a Sunday, anything over 8k would be a good crowd.

Well that kick-off time is unfortunate in regard to getting a bumper crowd. I know a family who've faithfully travelled from Palmy and back for most games in Wellington. They'll still make the round-trip but others won't.

I hope Gallop and the bean-counters consider this sort of scheduling. They'll get a good TV audience in Sydney but a poorer crowd in Wellington.

Perhaps it was done deliberately knowing we would get a low crowd and fail one of their metrics? There's another Sunday game coming up later too.
