spare a thought for poor old Gallop and his metrics chums at FFA. They must be choking on their cornflakes this morning.

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.

Except for the fact that we only have 4 Sunday night matches this season which I don't think is too many compared to often in the past and we play more away games than home games on Sundays.

Yep thats fine but the problem is the first home game after the team has been away for 7 weeks is on a Sunday at 7 makes it hard for the regional fans. Also none of the Sunday away games have a 7oclock kick off time in Aussie.The Sunday game isnt the problem the kickoff time is the problem.

There's often games kicking off on Sunday nights at 7pm in Aussie, for example this Sunday in Sydney. We may have more of them at that time due to our timezone. Not an ideal time I agree, but it's about tv audiences.
